Need suggestions My buddy is pissed at me

I just finished reading and email from her and i must say props to her. they talked last night for a long time he realized he screwed up and let his ego and tantrum get the best of him. she was still upset but had forgiven him and things were getting back on track. She said he had felt bad about it and that's why he hadn't returned my calls and he also had told his wife that i said he needed these things and was afraid i was going to be mad about being put in the middle of it. As the plan goes now he is going to keep the sled and learn to ride it and do what he wants with it when there funding allows. But she stressed it will be a while for that happens. He called me around 10 this morning and we talked a little I must say in all my years having friends that was a pretty uncomfortable call. Things went well and he is going to take me up on the offer of the riser even tho he said he felt bad about it, He also wanted to spend some time with just a couple of us showing him the basics. I reminded him that's what friends are for and try to Handel it different if an issue ever comes up again like that
but no she doesn't have a sister lol

Kudos for being the man in this situation, your friend really let his personal pride and ego turn this thing into a giant monster on his back. I applaud him for finally eating his giant slice of humble pie, but it begs the question will he grow from this? He sounds like he never had a strong father figure to learn the art of being a real man?

I would let this go for ahwile, if he's going to grow from this then there will come a time when he will want to reflect; Probably at lunch time while your sitting on the sleds eating a sammach fighting the birds off. You could throw out some bait even and watch his reactions, slumped shoulders and not looking at you would be a good sign that he's learned from it..not much good would come from further pressure..pat him on the back and let him off the hook. If he's a d!ck and doesn't respond in a humble way then you don't have much of a friend, keep that locked away in the back of your mind. :( Either way it would take a whole lot more than this to dump 20yrs of friendship, even if you really laid it out and he got pizzed for a few months perhaps thats for the best...maybe he'd grow from it? He probably needs YOU more than you need HIM, a friend like you is hard to come by.

Hopefully he makes it up to his wife 10 fold, that is the person who suffered the most from this.

Dude is a looser man. My wife bought that same sled for me when I got out of the Marines. Was my first sled wish I still had it was trouble free and it ripped for a 136. I learned to carve and climb on that same sled. Sound like a puss to me. You did a great thing if he can see that then he is not worth having as a friend.
 
everyone is sending your friend to the gallows Adrenaline Junkey :p

Relax people, they've been friends for 20 years! This ain't some occasional riding pard he can just ditch. The dude is prolly a stand up guy 99% of the time and made a mistake, then wouldn't own it and got all butt hurt.

I hope you can come back on here towards the end of the season and give us an updater on how things are going, heres a :beer; or :beer;:beer; hoping you can bring back good news on how this dude seen the light and become a good sleddar and you're tighter then ever..

I'M going to work my butt off to make that happen and your right I have had some of the same friends sense i was in 3rd grade. I don't write them off easy and will bend over backwards to help and in this case it will just take a little more.
He knows now what he should have done and i think his head will be hanging for a while, If not well then he is missing out one of the greatest things in life.
To be honest the main thing is his wife still cant believe that she got over it so quick , He musta promised her something big lol
 
You know, some people aren't cut out for this sport. I've also tried to get friends into sledding even though deep down I knew it might not work out. I still have friends that have nothing to do with sledding and I will never try to get them into it anymore, but I am still close to them....Maybe somthing to think about.
What I'm rambling about is, some people just can't do, nor do they want to do, what we do.
 
AJ you are a class act and would be proud to have a friend like you!

Do you think he learned anything?? Most A-holes like this never learn. Take my wifes f'n dumb a$$ stupid bum licking retarded mindless ungrateful POS EX-husband for instance.

They had rented a sled to go riding for the day with her parents. The friggen jerk that has a brain the size of a grain of sand got it stuck on a small bump of a hill. He jumped off the sled and all swearing up a storm. Saying what a POS the sled is, how f'n stupid she was that she rented a sled that was junk and wouldn't go anywhere. So my FIL went and pulled it around,told Amy to get on, and rode it to the bottom of the hill. Turned it back around and they took it up the hill right through his hole he had just dug. He then got off and told this prik "It's not the sled's or your wifes fault, you just dont have brains enough to learn how to ride." He then told Amy to get on the sled because he wanted to ride with a real rider and told him to start walking back to the truck. They left his arse standing there!!!

Think he learned a thing....NOPE.

The next christmas she bought him a pair of jeans. He got all pissed off because they werent the right one, that she didnt know what she was doing, and how she wasted thier money, blah, blah blah. He took them back and came back home with the EXACT same pants that she bought him and threw them at her yelling that that was the pants she should have bought him.

There are many more stories like that with this dill hole......but....thats why she is my wife now and not his. She now has a new to her, tricked out 04 Verticle Escape 800 151" while I ride a 96 triple abortion that I get to spend today trying to figure out why the middle cyl. isnt firing. Yah I love her!!
 
I did order a set of rox risers 3.5 I think it will be enough where he is only about 5' 7". Its pretty crazy how some people react to stuff guess maybe when you set your expectations so high its easy to not achieve them. But If he sets his mind to doing it and not looking for excuses he will get there in time.
I did switch him for a little while and showed him it will carve but me being 6' 1" I could see where risers would be a great benefit. The sled runs great forgot how easy it was on a little sled first time i threw it up I bout rolled over after being on the apex for so long :D
 
We all know it can be frustrating.
You keep falling off and getting stuck while you watch guys carving like they are on rails.
As long as he admits he messed up and made it right with the wife, then good on ya for continuing to teach him.

If he keeps at it, he can look back and someday laugh about it.
 
Great story!! Kudos to the guys wife and AJ.:beer;:)

Great lookin' sled. Would love to have it for a backup, a few mods of course.:D

Didya get rid of the swaybar??

I haven't should i? where he is a new rider and he is more than likely going to see some speed on the trails down the road. I mean its probably fine if he always gets his weight shifted to the side in the corners. Thanks :beer;

I'm hoping your right and he better laugh and say man i use to be a dick :D
 
Would he happen to have any Irish in him perhaps? Being an Irish man myself I sometimes say and do some very stupid things! As I get older it becomes easier to control though.:D
