Poll, How long have you been sledding?
- Thread starter Himark
- Start date
Started riding around the feild when I was 6 yrs old on a Yamaha Ovation. Been going west to the mountains for 6 yrs now.
4 years old!
Spent Christmas out on the drilling rig with MY Dad and Mom when I was 4 years old and woke up to a Kitty Cat under the tree at the camp. Nearly got run over by the water hauler that same day riding on the road (LOL). I've had a sled every year since then. So I've been riding for 30 years!

Since i was five and hopefully every winter until the day i die!!!!! 
It was always something I wanted to do but couldn't really afford it until my 30's. I'm in my 10th year and making up for lost time.
We've got a couple of guys in their late 70's in our club and they hit it every weekend--both guys are on mountain sleds too! I wanna be like them when I grow up.

Started riding the Hunters Range Mountains and Alpine 31 years ago on a 1974 John Deere JDX6(36hp). My ridin buddy (Brad Stordahl) had a 1972 Olympic. It was a great day if we ever made it to the Chalet, walked out a few times! Those were the years we siphoned lots of fuel out of the parents vehicles to go back up with a bag of tools and parts! 45 sleds later I am ridin the same mountains on a Yamaha Nytro(270hp).
35 years for me.....

Wow it would seem sled heads are a dying breed haha! Most of you are older than my dad! The poll seems very top heavy.... Why? I know lots of young people riding in my area.
