I see what you are getting at. Sledding still reasonable today if you buy used stuff. I make same today as 10 years ago, have no more disposable income, if anything have abit less because of high equipment costs. We are just doing more volume where we can, so equipment over head don't eat up too much of net revenue.
Have to have some fun. I don't need to ride 3000 miles a season either. Do I plan on quitting no, as long as there are some local trails to ride. I still own sleds. My truck 16 years old, trailer 15 years sleds 4 years old and other one is almost 10 years old 👌.
