My dad and all my bros have a tradition, we huddle around each other and have prayer before riding! Anyone else??
who has prayer before sledding??
- Thread starter dogtownbutcher
- Start date
Yup, every day before we leave the staging area
Never openly, prefer to keep it to myself, always say a short prayer before a gnarly climb and pretty much every time I get on my sled. I've always wanted to have a St. Christopher mounted somewhere on my sled. As crazy and far out as some religious beliefs are, there needs to be a common thread between everyone.
i don't ride stupid, but being raised in a religion that believes in family prayer, it definately helps, i have a son who is 11 months and a daughter who will be 3 in april, and a good wife!! i thought a long time before posting this and i'm glad i did!

Praying
I'm puzzeled, people are praying to be safe while mountain sledding, which is or could be considered a dangerous sport, and I take it some of you are putting your life in danger by highmarking as no one can predict where or when an avalanche will happen?
I can understand your rational by trail riding or being out in general just having a good time.
I participate in this sport and know the risk (high marking or what ever you want to call it), admittedly you can argue that driving down the road is dangerous but, by deliberatly running up a chute or slope is temping fate.
Having been raised as some sort of a Christain and then abandoning it years ago I'm now agnostic or even athiest but, I understand the fundamentals of it.
The way I understood it is that by knowingly putting your life in harms way goes againts your makers wishes, so by praying to have an angel keep you safe while your taunting possible death is perplexing.
