Maybe ofsc insurance company insisted on video to hold rates steady? Who knows! Or perhaps the clubs have had enough and voiced the frustration, who knows! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish there was an easy answer. I seen this when I went hiking last week. Not one person off the trail either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Possibly, but I believe there are lots of sleds with permits going off trail in Southern Ontario at least. That said they might be riding Dad or Mom's sled.

Domino Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I appreciate the message and it needs to get out there. That was accomplished in 15 seconds. The rest of it felt like 10 minutes and was just crap. That crap help to lose the key message and that is to stay on the f'in trail you morons. I had to play it twice, once for each permit. 15 seconds.... that's my attention span. After that I throw poop! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly for most part I doubt most if any that ride off trail legally now would go out of their way for legal off trail access. They simply just don't care about anyone or anything other than themselves and have zero respect for others. There was a time when a land owner, other sledders and or as once called trail wardens could cuff a guy across the helmet a few times and tell him to smarten up without legal issues. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedtoSkidoo Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Wait your supposed to stay on the trails? Huh who knew. Maybe a nice instructional video would be a thing to prevent that. Definitely 10+ minutes for sure. Ill write them a letter with my idea. Wish me luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am still waiting for first good frost. Might be November before that happens. Jack must have worked to hard last winter and can’t get out of bed early this year. So another few weeks of summer it is 🤣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec 1st it will be up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
