Creating a Monster. lol

[rxc8154]

I have a friend name Barry and 3 years ago, I talked him into going snowmobiling with me. It took several years to talk him into it. He had absolutely no experience at it and he thought maybe he wouldn't like it cause he thought it would be a cold sport. I think anyone who's never done this would automatically think that. But once he tried it he was hooked. So today Barry has got to be the most enthused snowmobiler i have ever come accross. He talks, sleep, and eats snowmobiles and is willing to go any time. Today he owns 5 sleds and one is a new 013 skidoo xm 800. So i want to know if you have a friend who you've turned onto snowmobiling and who has, as much enthusiasm as my friend Barry. Please share your story.

I have also created this monster!

After getting stationed up here 2 years ago I couldn't wait to get back into the mountains and ride. So the first thing I did was go buy a new sled and start riding with a bunch of random snowest guys to show me the ropes. I was having so much fun and going every weekend. My new buddies in WA were always curious about the sport (a nice looking mountain sled looks good in the back of the truck too!) so after some persuasion... I got my 2 room mates to get sleds, they sucked at first, it was like riding with 2 ten 5yr olds (they sucked bad!) but now 1 of them is the same way as Berry ^he eats/breaths/$hits sleds, he loves to ride and is always down to go, always helps me get unstuck and is starting look like a boondocker. I really enjoy riding w/him. I created a monster, but it sure is nice having a live-in sled buddy!... I almost have him talked into a new sled, he likes his M8 with a bunch of upgrades but i want him on a Pro!

And the good thing about this sport is action and when creating a monster you need to be owning at least 1 good vid machine (kind of like snowmobiles)and i believe the go pro will be highly used this year, just hope to get at least 1 good shot each wk end like last sat, the nice thing i found so far is that the new xm helps us old farts beat up on the kids and makes us look good doing it, lol. oh did i say side hills real good for the 1st atemp waiting to ride it alot tomarrow also, next will be learnin how to post good photos on this board too. ya Rudy you know who you are and tomarrow will be deep too. go to bed ol timer ya need your rest now in case ya get stuck . lol.
