Forgot how to ride and way out of shape

[skidoo_only]

Took Monday off and went for a ride. I'm so out of shape. We did a ton of hill climbing and my forearms started cramping causing some of my fingers to curl close in pain.

I wonder if the high elevation was making me breath heavy too.

More on the riding area: The video is messed up because I did something wrong pasting them together. The sound gets about 2-3 secound ahead of the video. Its a nice safe place to practice and shake the cobwebs out. Its near an abandonned ski resort. Just showing the different riding terrains, too out of shape for any cool riding. Boy had to be in school. Anyway it was a very late start for us, but I'm glad we finally got some snow. Hope everyone else is having fun too.

funny stuff. If that movie every becomes a Hollywood film, Will Ferrell will be perfect for the part.

Why didn't your buddy help you get unstuck. If he get's stuck, it sucks having both guys stuck a big distance from one another. You were able to get unstuck there by just starting your sled up? I would have pulled snow out and pointed it down hill.

I like the helmet cam. I really like the snow...can I have some?

Why didn't your buddy stop to help you. If I was stuck like that and my buds were still taking runs at the hill I would be pssed.

He did stop to help as soon as he could. The first time he went by he banked right and went down a near straigh down drop that why I started gigling and could not get back to me. The secound run he cut left so he could get down to me.

He is the one guy you want to ride with. No matter where you get stuck, he can get to you and help. Cameras don't really show how steep thing are. I don't know how he could have got to me any faster.

I was in a hurry to get out. We just got there and didn't want to hold us up. Was so excited I wasn't even thinking clearly.

Do think not wearing gloves had anything to do with the pain in your hands

Hop on a elliptical it will get you in shape, work your arms, and its much easier then a treadmill

Great video's and awesome snow!

I like the dismount in the first video.

Consider yourself lucky. You could be the guy on 1980s Arctic Cat sucking on a Monster with cankles. Where is that pic?

That camera seems to work really well. What kind is it?

my one hand does the same thing, its from squeezing the bars too tight or something, it gets so sore i have to pull my arm back to open my fingers up and have to give it a couple of stretches............

Harder you ride the harder you tend to grip your bars, I do the same thing. I know I'll do the same thing on my first big ride.

On another note, round is a shape. Hahaha, sorry, had to. I'm overweight a bit again this season, I'll wait until the Holidays are over and worry about it.
