Turbo Doo Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Just a quick rant here. To all the entitled people out there who think just because you own a sled, your entitled to ride and do whatever the you want. Looking at some Facebook posts tonight, i am amazed at just how arrogant some peeps are. I, just like alot of you out there, enjoy the sport, and am just dying to get out. But come on people. Especially this year, with whats going on, this is a sure way to put this sport 6 feet under, fast.... Stay the home and keep them parked if you cannot figure out most trails are not open. This is ridiculous... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToSlow Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) People who don't give a rats azz will always be. Makes it hard for the land owners to even agree to let the trail run across there property given all the bad press this sport gets. We had a reroute in the southern part of mount forest going towards Arthur. It's plainly marked so should be easy to navigate Edited December 30, 2020 by ToSlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what the sport doesn't need. We already face weather, political and alot of other challenges, this is just the icing on the death blow cake...

Johnny (Deanlea beach) Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Today my neighbour saw 8 sleds collected/stopped by opp in Elmvale. Looked like they were going through their paperwork. This was at the road crossing between all closed trail sections (for miles). Could the opp charge them with trespassing? Even if the charges don’t stick, it could be a nice annoyance. Do they get to ride the trails “back home” or do they have to sideroad back? Here the trails look like they are open, so much traffic on them with some even doubled up on sleds. The off trail rider(s) that left long mudpatches on the farmers field is asking for trouble. She owns crucial land the trails goes on. She already banned hunting on it, after one bad apple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 There has always been, and will always be, those who are ignorant and those who just don't give a shit. The trails near my house (which has about 6 inches of snow currently) have been well used the last few days by the same people who ran them while closed last year. They have been told several times to stay off. Nothing changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Considering the behaviour that we've witnessed this year, why would anyone expect the start of this winter to be any different? Everyone is in a (fill in the blank) hurry & doesn't care about how their actions affect others. And yes they'll be the 1st to complain when their favourite trail is closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinderFab Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Unbelievable to see this again and again.. Over the weekend I was in the parry sound area and there were quite a few sleds riding the closed trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of stuff on Facebook right now is nothing more than bullshit being posted to upset the Karens of the world. These people get off on the over reaction and tons of people fall for it. If people stopped reacting, it would go away but that won't happen so........ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Farmer Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) All these posts just gives peoples ideas. So far there are no gates involved. Hopefully we don’t loose any trails since with covid hard to go and negotiate it back. I have already seen some upset land owners online, that have threatened to call cops. Surely not all a drama show. Edited December 30, 2020 by Strong Farmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is ridiculous... Stay away from 705 Snowmobiles Jeff.... Unfortunately the sport seems to attract a lot of residents that seem to swim in the shallow end of the gene pool. Someone was moaning about the trails not being open. I passed a bullrush filled ditch east of Cardiff. It looked far from ready to be open just because there is snow up here. These clowns would be the 1st to go after the club or OFSC after they take out a stump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
