I like to get baked first. Just rip roaring stoned to the bone kinda baked. Then I exploit the cottonmouth side effect by sitting there drinking ice cold beer. Then smoke another bowl...and more beer, another bowl...more beer. It's a vicious cycle. I've always gotten soo jacked up in the parking lot I just pass out in the truck and never have gotten the sled out of the back and rode it......ever.
Drinking and riding? Your opinions please, while we wait for snow.

if your not having a good enough time out riding without the sauce you probably need to go get help. but 1 beer or 2 over dinner break probably isn't the end of the world,but it should be a no brainer to a rider that isn't suicidal that he should not over do it. I don't want no drunks in my group. 10 years ago or so me and 9 other guys went out riding with rental sleds after a night of no sleep and heavy boozing, anyway 5 or 6 out of the 10 sleds had damage, even a couple collisions,(Luckily no one was hurt and i didn't have damage on my sled). Lots of expense with no insurance on the rentals.

lmao!!
We used to go to Michigan once a year to ride becuase it's closer than going out West for us (we live in MN). After a couple of near misses late at night from guys leaving the Legion or other bars, we called it quits. We saw them leave, blow through stop signs and head down the trail at 90 mph. It is not something we do or will ride with people who do.
Once we get back to the room and park it for the night, then its on
, but until then. No way.
If you can;t wait until you're done riding for the day, maybe you should go to a class....AA.

Booze + high altitude + bright sun = an accident waiting to happen

Drink and riding in the mountains? Probably not a smart idea
Agreed. You risk your own well being but most importantly, you risk the well being of others. Same with cars, boats, and bikes. I don't do it.
Morals, its all about good morals, not about if the next clown is drinking and riding it does not mean its right, for me it's always about doing the right thing. Sure I have had a drink and then drove after, but I wised up. The people who do it, will eventually be a statistic, you may have had friends or family who probably is one by drinking and driving, don't be suprised if its you next.

Aren't you a bit young?
Drinking while riding? No, I don't think I really need any help wrecking my sled.
a bit young? i am of legal age in canada, besides do you know anyone who waited until the day they were of legal age? I can;t think of one person,
I personaly don;t think a small sip of some shcnapps will hurt anything as i do have the same attitude as most riders here, when riding i like to giver and ride as best as i can, i do believe one sip a day will not effect my judgment as its sure a helluva lot less than 1 beer, a mickey that i share among riding buddies will easily last 3-4 weekends of riding do the math and that is not much for anyone.
Sometimes we get so drunk we can't even figure out how to get out of the truck! So, we just sit in there, puking all over ourselves, then wake up later and go back home! Saves on race fuel!

Two different ways of riding here, and our one group does both.
When we are riding the flats, all the trail systems go from bar to bar in the little towns. Our group will do that, ride 2-3 hours, stop at the bar for a drink (I usually end up Mtn Dew as most my riding group knows) and maybe some food, warm up, ad go hit it again for a couple hours. This equates to about 2-3 drinks during the day with a LOT of food. End of the night, we close the place down after the sleds are shut down too.
In the mountains, I carry water and a cold Mtn Dew, and save the drinking for late that night.
Our group is careful in the ratio we drink and ride, if you exceed that you don't ride with us. 2-3 drawn out over the day will not affect judgement etc, but you have to be smart enough to not exceed that either.

If you think you're bombed....
You make it out of the driveway? Whoa!!!
Usually we get so hammered in the driveway after we load up that my wife has to come outside and shut the truck off after we pass out. One time when we got bombed off of brake cleaner and when she opened the door... there was SO MUCH PUKE it splashed out onto the ground in a HUGE puddle.
Sometime during that day I shot chunks out my nose and got them on the windshield.
When I woke up just before sunset, my 2 dogs had it all cleaned up oustide the truck. I never stepped in it when I got out. They're good dogs.

You people who take beer and liquor with you to ride are all morons.
I have found, through years of riding that most of the people in the hills carry about a 6 pack each and quite a few carry whiskey or Schnapps.
If you go up to them and strike up a conversation with them and especially if you compliment their riding or their sled they will always offer you a beer or a shot.
Hell, sometimes they'll even offer you a hit off their bong or a heaping spoon of coke.
I can get completely obliterated and never have to carry in the bottles or carry out the empties.
Sometimes I get so wasted that I can't start my sled or keep my helmet on without filling it with the breakfast burrito I had a few hours earlier.
That's when the ol' snort of coke comes in handy to get my head straight.
Yeah...I never carry booze with me when I go sledding.
That's just stupid.

I know drinking and heroin and stuff are just stupid when riding.....but, we sometimes can't control it! Once when riding with Scott in Idaho, I was so hopped up on crystal meth I thought I was an astronaut and tried to blast off over and across the road! The roost reminded me of a Cape Canaveral blast off! I was SO lit!!! Later that day we ran out of hard liquor and drugs so we started shooting up Amsoil! Wow....that didn't work so well!
