just an observation

[lenny]

we're all an authority and we all have the best sled. I cannot tell you how many conversation I have heard or been part of about people upgrading or buying different sleds to suit their "so called" needs. This guy needs that sled because it feels better and that sled sucks. I think we waste so much time and money on many things we cannot comprehend. When it comes to sleddin, experience and aggressiveness, no fear are so much more important. I once had a Krammer acoustic guitar that I didn't like. I was an average player but thought it played poor. I took it to trade in on a different guitar and the sales man asked what was wrong with this one. He started playing it and was a very accomplished player and the guitar sounded great. That situation taught me a very important fact, usually the operator is the weak link. Again, I raced BMX most my life and a few years back I raced some more, bought a hot bike and sucked big time with a very good bike. I think us sledders do the same thing, including myself. If your an off trail rider and don't have all that much experience but have at least a crossover sled, build your skills and make educated decisions. The economy is tough now and many of us splurge on sleds, lots of money wasted on perfectly good sleds. I think all four make great sleds for all sorts of off trail preferences. We fight and insult each other on this board so much it is discouraging. Be happy you have a sled and can ride. Most of us suck compared to real good riders. We often look at challenging terrain and get jacked up, hit the flipper and plahaaaaaa, were trenched in because our nads are to small. Usually it's not the machines fault. Yea,, if I stick my wife's 2 up fan venture in a deep ravine I may be able to blame the sled but than again you would have to ask, why'd I take that pig down there in the first place.

Just ride

I'm not saying that they do not have different characteristics, more so I am seeing the wasted time and money across the board. There is no chance that we all have outgrown our sleds. Of course we all have the right to buy more and do what ever but most changes are from lack of knowledge.

Was this the sleds fault?

Well said per usual, Lenny!

I always say the same thing when someone says something about someone else's sled or boat to whatever - Hey! at least they're out there!

I feel lucky to be able to ride my sled every time I get out there!! I feel lucky for every trip I get to take! Every day out on the trails is a good one!

Definitlly the sleds fault. If had a bigger lugged track or longer or more horsepower that wouldnt have happend!! LOL

 

[trebsdub]

Definitely the operator wouldn't you say Lenny

 

[russholio]

Are you daring to say that it isn't my gun's fault that every shot doesn't hit the bullseye? Or that it isn't my stick's fault that I made a bad pass or missed the net? How could you even think that?

I will say though....that after I switched to one of my other sticks a few games ago, I promptly netted myself a goal and have added one more and several assists since then!

I think that's the intent of MOST folks in here when they ask those questions. There's always gonna be some (insert whatever word you want here) that we all know personally and that come in here that just are who they are and what they are. (My insert word is d-bags...)
