OMG, are you for real ? Personal attack !!!!!, your first impression !!!!!, You sound like a very sensitive guy LOL. I'll bet spending time with you is an absolute hoot for everyone. C'mon , cut loose, go crazy,...........laugh out loud once, say something tonque in cheek to somebody, c'mon...... you'll like it. LOL
PS. you'll probably fit right in on this new improved touchy feely version of snowest
You called me out... damnit
I don't care what you look like, what you ride, or what stickers you have on your sled, I just like having people to ride with, whether your better than me or not, it doesn't matter. As long as you have TWA (that winning attitude, terrible wicked animal)
I think posers are ones that give others crap for what they ride/wear, just because you can ride good doesn't give you right to talk down on others for riding/wearing what they want, and doing what makes them happy.
And to defend those with stickers and matching gear...
I'll put whatever the hell I want on my sled, shoot I'll paint it hot pink if I want to, I paid for my sled, and I'll do whatever I want to it.
I'll be one of the best dressed on the mountain, reason? Because I want to and I have good taste...
I may dress the part but I sure as hell can't play the part...
For the record... my sled isn't hot pink, there are no plans in the near future to paint it hot pink (However they say pink makes you faster...) and the only sticker I have on my sled is the goat goggles goat.
None of this is directed at you in anyway shape or form slick, I'm just talking in general

I'm actually glad to hear that.
So, my perceptions were kinda right don't you think. LOL. But I apologize to you and my defense is this place has enough thin skinned ,politically correct, whiny girly boys that sometimes its hard to tell.
You have a nice day also, and hopefully a great season. I totally respect any lady who rides mountains and give you full marks. I have 2 daughters and a wife who come once in a while but aren't passionate about it, so good for you.

Slick-
Thanks for the nice post, I appreciate it. I see your point. I hope you have a great season as well- stay safe for your daughters and wife!

PS my wife also rides a 700 grizzly with the power steering, she loves it. We've put some big mile trips on and it makes it a lot easier on her arms and upper body. Great quad, nice soft ride and dependable as hell.
Here is one of his sled. I bet Slick can tell us what it's been deprived of or maybe it has low self esteem.
Lol, that doo clothing is so cool! I know a gal that even wears a set of their bib's even though she rides a cat.
Often wondered about people wearing there sledding jackets everywhere. Mine smells like two stroke, maybe I need to get another one to wear around town?
If I understand this thread correctly, a poser is someone who "consciously" spends time and money to coordinate their attire and their sled to compliment each; based on some perceived visions of grandeur...
I guess that leaves me out completely because 1st, at my age, most would say I am not conscious anymore and second, most men know that after 30 years of marriage, you are only allowed to wear what your bride buys for you to replace the antiquated and beat up stuff you have worn out. Can't be held accountable for something you did not pick out in the first place.
I also now get away with walking out the door while my (grown) kids are saying "dad, you can not be serious"...
As far as stickers for the sled go, I am currently negotiating with Motrin, Viagra and Ambien (in no particular order) to see if they would sponsor my sledding endeavors. If so, I imagine they will want me to display their logos on my sled. Sounds only fair...
Last but not least, a "great" highmark for me is successfully loading my sleds on my dam tilt bed trailer at the end of the day without going off the other end. I always look around afterwards to see who might have been watching and then jump, I mean crawl, off the trailer "strutting" my bad self!
Enjoy it while you can. Safe riding and Happy New Years.

That was beeuteeful
i had a good laugh last year. i was at the stealership and this maybe 18 year old kid was in there, just decked out in monster energy cat wear. helmet, jacket, pants. he was picking up matching gloves. he talking some trash to his buddy about how his cat was going to just clean his *** when they were riding. i walk out of the stealership, and the kid is unloading an early 90's jag i believe, monster stickers everywhere on it. he had more money tied up in gear than his sled was worth. and his buddy was unloading a D8 lololol
I have to be perfectly honest. I don't believe that brand has ANYTHING to do with whether or not you are a poser. I think that it has everything to do with how you are raised and what kind of person you are. For instance when I was growing up at maybe 15 years old I got an HJC Clx4 Cell helmet.... I rode with my dad on a 1981 Vmax 440.....and according to some of you, I was a poser because I had an open faced helmet and goggle....but all I know is that I loved to ride, regardless of what I was on. I loved to haul down the trails, climb what I could as high as I could, and jump as many of the drifts as I could...
Bottom line...I did the best I could with what I had...and had it been up to me I would have been on a new sled with full matching gear like many that I saw. But I never wrecked a sled like so many of them seemed to and most importantly I still had fun no matter what I was wearing.
Most of the time I was wearing black bibs, some sorels, and 'outdoor type' tan coat that went down to my mid thighs and whatever helmet he had....which sometimes even meant a goofy 3/4 helmet with a black flip down visor.

Now days I am wearing a nice gmax helmet, a vertical limit black and grey coat, mostly grey bibs with some black on the high wear areas, some arctic cat boots I have had for 6+ years, and my beloved Riema gloves. I will admit that I am at this point not the best rider....I used to be far better or at least more confident. But now that I am 23, married, and haven't ridden much in the last 5 years, I got my king cat stuck on a mild hill last weekend when I couldn't pull it out of some trees and had to stop and get stuck....some may consider me a poser for that even....
Maybe I am off base and it's only the asshat showoffs that count...dunno but when I was a kid we always just considered it whether or not you could ride....and all the matching gear just meant you had money.
