Well my 8 year old daughter took her first solo ride today on my vertical escape 800 159, i know a little big for her. she actually climbed a small hill and then went off through the trees. before coming to a gentle stop in some tree branches. IT WAS AWESOME geuss i will have to start looking for a sled for her

Good times. 1/2 of sledding for me is farting around with the kids on a short run or in the yard.

now i did it

Now i did it, now it seems like the only question i hear from my daughter anymore is "can we go snowmobiling". I love it
"I have created a monster"!! i think if she could start it herself i would really be in trouble, and believe me she tries, its hilarious.
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!!!

My oldest daughter turned 4 yesterday, she's still in the "its loud and scary" phase but we are slowly working on it. She'll ride on one but always talks about how loud and scary they are... got any tips?

geuss i will have to start looking for a sled for her

you would be like the coolest dad in the world if you just gave her your escape and got yourself a new sled.

Well we started out with a hat on under the helmet, i think that helped with the noise a bit.
I asked my daughter what she thought and she told me "its kind of scary at first, but you just have to tough it out" Kids say the darndest things

I know exactly how you feel. My 7 year old son has been riding the wifes 06 M7 all winter around our acerage and some coulees near the river. He is starting to get some air on small jumps. Sure makes a parent proud.
