Please Slow Down And Be Careful On Corners

[POLARISDAN]

X2, riding this past weekend I saw a group of sleds with a father leading and a young child in front of him on the seat! Our group saw that and we we stopped we were all like " did you see that guy with the kid leading, he is nuts" Kids should be in the middle, i would never allow them to lead. I ride with my kid on in front of me but we are always in the back or middle, as I do not need to get taken out around the corner with him in front of me!

i'll take this one step further, north of Houghton, I came around a corner, slowed a little like I always do, and there were 2 sleds side by side..the left one in the middle of the trail..as I approached and slowed down to warn them, its 4 kids less than 13(best guess)..so I took the time to explain to the older drivers what could happen if "ricky" had come around that corner, how a sled could run right over their tail and kill them all..and to always stop in a straightaway never in the middle...

absolutely stunned that parents think this is just a "go out and ride" area without supervision
