Music video
The video for "Dirt Sledding" was directed and co-produced by actor and director Matthew Gray Gubler, who is also a native of Las Vegas and directed the first video in the Santa Claus trilogy, "Don't Shoot Me Santa".[4] The video features a reprisal of Santa Claus played by Pardey, as well as a spoken word section by Dreyfuss.
The car used in the video is a Guards Red 1983 Porsche 944 which pays reference to the same exact one used in the 1984 John Hughes film Sixteen Candles (as heard in the lyrics).
