Please introduce yourself, who are you and where people could see you.
Ostacruiser from North Central Saskatchewan Canada. You can catch our videos on our YouTube channel — ostacruiser.
How long have you been driving off-road? What made you take your ATV ride for the first time? How did everything go? Why did you choose this machine?
Been playing in mud my whole life. Started riding ATVs in serious terrain in 2007 when I purchased a 2007 Polaris Sportsman, I liked their 4wd system. Things got much more exciting in 2010 when I bought my first Can-am. 2010 800r Outlander XT. I love the challenge of crazy terrain.
Do you remember your very first race? Or which race was the most memorable and why?
We ride as much as we can but it always seems like it is not enough lol. After every ride we wash our machines and check them over for any damage before the next ride. That goes the same for our gear: we check over our outerwear and supplies to make sure we are ready for the next ride. We never leave home without our Finntrail wader system and a well-stocked gear bag with several tools and lots of recovery gear.
ATV waders are the core piece of riding gear for off-road riders

Do you play any other kind of active sports? If not, what would you like?
I like to play hockey, golf, scuba diving, ¼ mile and track car racing when I get a chance. I would love to try skydiving.
Some questions about your blog: Who is your favorite subscriber? The most annoying comment you've read? Who do you follow on Instagram and YouTube?
I love all of our viewers. Without them we would not get the opportunities we do. There is value in all comments. Just there is more value in some than others LOL. I am subscribed to many different panels and pages on Instagram and YouTube. I love watching other ATV and outdoor channels.
You travel a lot. Do you ride ATVs on vacation or, just want to rest of it? Is other countries have a different attitude to tuning ATVs?
The great part about our successful social media is we get the opportunity to travel many places and meet lots of different people. We have ridden ATVs in several different countries. It is always awesome to see the off-road Community is alive and strong all over the world. We find that you cannot categorize a whole country on how they modify their machines. it is much more Regional for instance the Southern United States mostly Drive highly modified Vehicles versus the northern United States there are a lot more stock machines at events.
