New World Record with snowmobile on water 212 km

Gratulerer med verdensrekorden Morten Blien. Her er en liten smakebit av det som er filmet på denne turen. Over 21 mil på scooteren, der er rått. Lykke til i kveld. Del gjerne filmen. 18.sep 2015, a Norwegian man named Morten Blien hopped on his Polaris RMK 800 and drove about 212km – down the Karasjok and Tana River in Finnmark, Norway. He was attempting to break the world record for distance driven on water with a snowmobile, previously set by European watercross champion Antti Holmberg 180 km Blien did surpass the mark, but he fell short of his goal of 245 km when his sled inexplicably stopped in the middle of the river after 212 km. Blien said he wasn’t sure what ultimately caused the snowmobile to quit. An additional throttle lever had been installed on the sled so that if one hand got tired, Blien could use the other to power the sled. It’s possible that a malfunction caused the gas to stop flowing adequately to the engine. The world record attempt still needs to be submitted to Guinness for approval. There is some uncertainty about whether it will be approved since Blien did not drive the snowmobile ashore. The entire trip lasted four hours. Blien was tired but satisfied after his run, saying that he considered everything after 180 km to be a bonus. He was also surprised at the number of local people who came out in the cold weather to support him. Musical from the CD Verdde - Guest Friend.

4. Climate change is an absolute hoax. These people never had snow, they're lying. They made these machines to run on water, case closed. Climate change is a hoax. Sarcasm for those that are new btw.
5. This is as retarded as a short bus filled with invalids crashing into a special Olympics event...
6. Did it run out of fuel? What was it that stopped him after 212km?

10. Not gonna lie, those rocky rapid bits looked sketch af but this is incredibly badass.
11. What is the record for a jet ski on snow?
12. He just drove on water for 131 miles
13. 131.7 miles on H2O with a sled--HOLY CRAP !!!!!!-You are AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!
14. For those of us who don't the inferior system 212km is 131miles. I know it doesn't make sense why they wouldn't want to use the system which is used by the top 5% of the world.
15. wtf is this music?
16. That would be boring after about 30 seconds.
17. You'd think a liquid cooled two stroke on water would have seized after about 10 minutes of being pinned wide open.
18. looks incredibly challenging
