Default Who was your ride mentor

Ok who was the one guy who taught you to ride or inspired you to ride hard? The guy who taught me was my Dad,he never pushed me but always had a way of making me do something I was afraid to do,sometimes with good results

The wife and I spent 2 years learning my ourselves.
We didn't know anyone that knew how to ride.
We pretty much learned to carve and such on our own.
At the end of the 2nd year we ran into wingnut.
Learned a lot from him and the 3 of us have taken our boondocking to new levels.
The 3 of us have been riding together 5 years now.

For me it was my dad in the early years. Right now it's my riding buddies. I think we all pushes each other to become better riders. There's always that one guy in the group that can do one thing better than the others and I will always ask questions or just watch and try to pick up different techniques. I have found that not all riding style work for everyone out there and you may have to make adjustments so it works for you.

My gramps bought a sno-scoot when I was four then a couple years later traded a gun for a sno-sport, then the old man bought me a phazar. After that I had to buy my own... damnit

my dad for sure....thinking back, he was nuts on them old bogey wheeled, leaf sprung moto-skis. I remember him making me get off the sled, and hammering the drifts in the dugout to get airtime. we always had sleds, as far back as I can remember....I was 3 or 4 years old and scared chitless that carb (cowling removed, for tuning on the fly of course) was gonna suck me right inside after the first time my jacket stuck to it.

he was always pretty cool about it when I'd wreck something, unless he had to buy parts cause he couldn't fix it or wrecked something trying. he quit taking my new sleds for a ride in '98 after he punched a drift in the yard with my brand new '99 670 HO and flew far enough to scare himself. too much power he said.....
