What did you learn this sledding year?

[polaris dude]

I learned how to ride the RAW chassis

 

[Bkinz]

well i meant last season, can you imporve your skills in the summer?

Oh ya, start doin sidehills on the shop floor and learn how to switch feet w/o puttin both feet back on the boards. 10min later sweaty as h*ll and hey now your lossin weight so your lighter.

(Knowing where my seat is w/o looking (height wise) actually helped a lot. Can actually do some half arse Burandt moves now.)

 

[Oregongirl]

I learned that I'm sick of fighting the battle to keep our riding areas open, but that I'm going to keep up the good fight until the only option left is civil-disobedience.

I learned, really learned, how to get myself unstuck!! Which means that I'm more likely now to pick my own lines and venture off by myself when everyone is playing. This way more fun than sitting and watching, but also way more exhausting!

Powdercurl! Improved sidehilling!

And finally - I should have sold that Escape TWO years ago!!!

What I learned

I learned that the throttle can be your best friend in deep snow and my switchback doesn't keep up with my friends mountain cat. I also learned that if friends want to do stupid things I DON'T have to follow.

 

[trikerider]

I learned if you take your old broken scratchers and mount them on each ski of your Dragon 163, your rails and temps will stay cool on spring snow.

 

[MtnMaxMod]

Yet you still don't. Go back to the Mtn Max.

Sorry I only got one ride on it lol.

Sorry I only hucked it 80 feet my first time ever riding it.

Sorry i'm not Jay Mentaberry or something lol.

Why lie?

 

[Raff_9001M]

I learned that I like NoSno running boards on good powder days.

 

[06 RMK 900]

I learned rocks are very hard and can do some damage to belly pan.

Then I learned that a skid plate is a good investment.

 

[Bkinz]

Why lie?

I wish I was, people are always asking me for my autograph now. Cuts into my shredding time.

 

[ARMYSLEDER]

Biggest learning/improvements for me was going to Dan Adams Next Level Clinic and learning how to ride more precise and not sloppy. Keep your eyes looking foward not down at the bars when you sidehill. I also learned that maintaining two sleds is a killer on money.

 

[Engine Pro 5x]

We learned that when Jim says " This sled will be a good buy" you better have your CASH READY !!! >>>>.

 

[Ryan-41]

I learned that the trees are where the fun is... Trying to ride more like Burandt!!

 

[Retreiver]

I learned when people tell you not to go there, don't go there

 

[DeepDaze]

I learned when people tell you not to go there, don't go there

Oh how true that is!

 

[ARMYSLEDER]

Oh how true that is!

X2, thats something I learned young. Only if I had the pictures to show it.

 

[Chaos]

Don't go for a good looking cornice at top speed, until you investigate it at half speed. As I flew through the air looking behind me at my sled that was at a dead stop (it was a wall of ice covered by light snow), I swore I would never do that again! Since it was my last ride of the year, I haven't had a chance to make that mistake again.

Army, where is this Dan Adams place?

Chaos

 

[VTMTcowboy]

I learned that Cooke City is my favorite place in the world! The sledding and scenery is can't be described in words.

I learned that three running 800's tied to 1 non-running 800 will NOT pull out of that damn lake.
