Sometimes (especially in hero snow this time of year) if I do something crazy or have a really close call, I'll thank my sled for not crashing itself into that tree or for making that crazy pull that I am now "fortunate" to descend. At the end of a good days riding, I'll thank my sled. I do this out loud, not in my head, so that it can hear me. Anyone else do this or am I just crazy?
Do you hug/talk to your sled?

I think you are crazy (just for posting that you talk to you sled)! Or just very bored right now! LOL
I do on occasion... Not so much now that I have a dependable sled *knocks on wood*
Sometimes I give her a pat on the rear end or thank her after a good pull.
Havent had to back hand her yet.
I have a frind who had issues with his doo... Had the hood up every 5 minutes... One time we stopped and he was punching and kicking his sled... Wish I would have had a camcorder handy.

I talk to my sled when I'm working on it.
Like last night I was installing SLP powder pros, and trying to get the ski mounting bracket on with a new rubber dampner below it. I told the sled what a rat pig it was, how its mother was a whore, and actually hit it with a wrench. Sled seems to like when I talk dirty to it as it's always getting me in an uproar.

It just seems so natural.....
Oh yeah!
I am constantly talking to Naomi (sled name) while riding. From screaming at her to "give just a little more" to thanking her for giving it her all, to asking why she decided to give up THERE. Topped out of a small chute on Saturday screaming "I love you I love you I love youuuuuuuuuu!" hahaaaaaaaa
There has been many a days that when she is particularly good and making me feel all goey inside that she gets hugs.
Almost every ride she gets a few good pats on the hood telling her "good girl!".
And coming down the Rutherford trail a few weeks ago I was singing to her, hoping to keep her mind off the bumps and the beating she was taking! I'm sure people I passed thought I'd lost my mind, they were right.

I also find myself sometimes yelling at the sled while out riding. I then think to myself, does anyone else do this? Apparentely they do! Lol.

this is the main reason i hate summer...bc i have to read goofy chit like this!!! i knew i shoulda starting drinkin before reading this one!
You sure your not already drunk?
I always talk to MaryJane. Need to comfort her in the summer. Give her a rubdown every so often. A friend has a brand new M8 that he barely used this year sitting in my shed. I talk to her every so often too, reassuring her that she is loved and people want to ride her, but her owner is a dumbass.
I dont think its weird at all to talk to your sleds.

My sleds... no not so much but my old CJ.... YES! When I found myself in a bad spot or stalled out climbing or crossing water. "Come on Betsy!"
Yep I blame all my poor riding skills directly at the sled!!!!
Haha, funny post dude, but serioiusly, I also talk to my sled. Whether that be when Im working on them or when they are not running as good as they normally do.
OMG, where is Dr. Phil when we really need him?
