We went 120's - then to a pair of Indy Lite's - then an EVO, and now on regular sleds.  

My daughter put our 83’ into the rhubarb last year on the in-laws property, she was pretty upset about it. The skis/spindles are pretty loose, holes are definitely oblonged so it’s a challenge to keep it straight forsure.  The way we see it, is the kids can learn on the old junk before and if they decide to buy their own newer sled as they get older. It’ll just make them a better rider and I won’t worry near as much about repairs if needed.  This will get them started on the cheap, if they want a better ride in the future, that’s on them.  Christmas gift this year was insurance, Val tag & trail pass for the both of them.   

Your Bravo comments bring back memories for me. We had a1981 Bravo that me 3 boys learned to ride on and I learned a lot about body work on. One son tried to put it between 2 trees that were closer together than the width of the bravo. They all turned out to be good riders. Ours was the same red as yours when we got it but through all the bodywork repairs it turned black with 1994 striping. Great learner sled and lots of memories.  

I was not able to go out yesterday, but as I was BBQ ING lunch, all I could hear was sleds up and down the trail.

Someone remind me why I shouldn’t go out on Sundays…. traffic was nuts and trails weren’t the best. Good thing was, we all got out and enjoyed the trails! I usually stay away from weekend riding, but kids got their licenses for this year so kinda gotta go when there’s snow. Good learning experience for them anyways.  Most people were very respectful, but there’s always a couple idiots that don’t slow down while passing or coming in hot into a corner. We made the best of it though. Bravo performed like it always does, and kids did great! Got a text late last night from my son…”can you take me out of school so we can go sledding tomorrow?”🤣 Thanks to all landowners, volunteers and the snow gods!
