How about the ones that have a girl that doesn't sled and are not particularly interested in dragging them up the mountain each weekend so they can complain that it's cold outside? Do you have a girl BTW?
Small gestures have big affects on confidence.

It's the little questions that really matter...
Ladies,
A couple is about to go off sledding together. It's her first ride and they're thinking to themselves.....
Her:
Oh. My. God. This helmet is absolutely wrecking my hair, and these riding clothes are ugly and omigawd my a$$ looks absolutely huge!! I hope nobody can see me right now. I wonder if I'm going to get cold, or fall off. I hope he doesn't make fun of me. I mean I'm new and he's pretty good and if I can't keep up he'll be pissed. Omigawd I'm so sad right now. I hate him so much for making me do this.
Him:
Man I'm so stoked right now!! I can't believe she said yes. This is going to be a blast! Man she looks hawt in her gear. Maybe we'll get "stuck" later way back in the trees...Giggity! OK, seriously I gotta get my head in the game..it's her first time out so we'll go easy. I want her to have fun and want to come back for more. Man, my baby is the best! I mean how many dudes beg their girls to ride with them so they can share the awesomeness together, and they say no. God, Thank You! I'm so happy right now! I love her so much for letting me show her this.
The man in your life wants you to succeed at sledding especially if you're out there at his prompting. YOU have to remember that we are linear. We see the world as a serious of problems to be solved. We don't "feel" our ways through anything. Sometimes we hurt your feeling because of this but it's almost never deliberate.
What you need to do is understand this and make the first move and present him with instructions: "I need you to be patient with me and don't offer advice until I ask." Or something to that effect, but do remember his intent is to give you a clear unambiguous critique---to arm you with some knowledge--so you can lessen your learning curve.
He's not saying "Jeez you suck", he saying "Try this technique. It will help you pull that move off." If he raises his voice a bit it's probably because in that moment he's afraid you're about to get hurt, and he doesn't want that since he's your protector. (at least in his head)
Many times that little head shake from onlookers or your man is one of bemusement, or it's a mutual "Ouch!" reaction. We've ALL gotten stuck, or cased a trick, or needed help.

And my original post was NOT to bash men. NOPE just wanted to share a little insight that might help someone out there. Maybe....
Brandy, why do you shake your head at me all the time? Even when we're not sledding. If I had feelings, they would be hurt....

For as long as i can remember even when i was about 6 any time anyone did something wrong or got stuck there was always laughter and applause. especially when we're at a play area. i think the head shakers need a little more possitivity in their life..
wait.... Theyre snowmobiling! How could anyone ever get upset in their moment of bliss??

Hey ladies and by ladies I mean you man bitches too. Do you think we don't shake our heads at our bro riding buddies too? We're dudes that what we do. You don't want to be treated any differently do you? Hold up everybody the bitches are here... let's tone down the head shaking and insults today! Make up your mind you wanted be treated the same or you wanted be treated differently lol.
Ms. Floyd... Weren't the three of us talking about this very topic 4 bottles deep on a 5 bottle dinner last week??
Don't feel bad if it happens... most people look like bobble-head dolls when they watch me ride.
Besides... 3 of the ladies (that I know) posting on this thread would hand 90% of the guy riders their azz!!
Then who's shaking what??

Bigred, HOW WAS IT?
Again, I think you are confused. By your previous statement and this one, yes, I'd say you are confused as to what the intent of this thread is. It is about some of those ladies starting out, learning, wanting to get better. It is not about the more experienced ones that "hang" and that "are equal". It's about the ones wanting to get there. It isn't about every female out on a sled. Nor is this about the ladies "bitching". In fact, many of them will never ever say a word, will hold it in, let it eat at them and chip away their confidence until one day they just don't want to go anymore.
I know you are just trying to get a rise out of me Duke,
it's been a few years since you've picked on me. I've missed it! 
Eric, I didn't think I shook my head at you at all in Utah.... maybe it is just a subconscious thing? lol I'm not remembering that part of the conversation!! LOL Whooee that was alot of wine and alot of fun!

Let's not get carried away now!
B, that sled is amazing. Enough so that Maria is going to test ride the 600. Maybe you can take some time to show her a few things(she'll listen to you).
I have spent many rides shaking my head at Duke1n, sometimes just trying to get out of the parking lot..
Need a hug?
