Love this old fellers thread. Got #74 coming up this weekend and I still can't wait to get back on the "white". Been on sleds since 1981 and scooters since 1961. Current sled is a '17 800 Axys 155 that I picked up back in May from a young guy in Utah who rode it once for 58 miles. Hope it treats me as well as the '11, '13 and '15 Pro's that I rode prior to this one. Have had over 25 sleds since I started riding. Have always been partial to Poo's and Cats, with a few Yammies back in the late '80's early 90's. Have never owned a Doo.
Getting older doesn't mean you have to throw in the towel. Sure, I can't do some of the things I did 10-15 yrs. ago, but I still look to ride cross country/boondock as much as I can. I try to use my head a little more and not take as many chances as before. Most of the guys I ride with are over 60 and a few are even younger. The main thing is to go out and have fun and get back in one piece(body and sled).
Hope everyone has a kick-*** season(and a safe one).
KEEP CHARGING!!

I agree with the time for school, rode with Dan Adams last year and upped my game. Sixty one and still shredding, riding an AXYS 163 and riding better than I ever have.

Now thats some funny stuff!!
Hi, I am 56 and have ridden bikes and snowmobiles for most of my life. There are 3 things that I have observed through the years.
1. You learn to ride smart as you get older, not as much manhandling of the sled more finesse.
2. I am so glad that the manufacturers are creating the great machines they are because It has extended my ability to ride for countless more years!
3. Love to see all the younger people sledding, just a few years ago I would have said it was a dying sport.

Ah heck! Who needs Viagra when you have a 3" paddle? :face-icon-small-con
Congratulations on your battle with cancer. And good luck with your new toys!
Slap a turbo on that new sled and go SHRED SOME POW!!!!!!
Looks like you PAID THE PRICE to go play hard!
LOOOOOOOG story but a snowmobile saved my life, winter 2016 took a tumble off snowmobile and fell on post on left kidney......short story the Cat scan from that injury uncovered a 4 pound tumor where lefty kidney should have been, this photo is 6 weeks after having my kidney and tumor removed, a few months later I was declared cured:violin::violin:

54 and just picked up a Summit 850 165. Evertime I get a new sled I think it will probably be my last. God willing I will have a couple more sleds in me. See you all on the hills!
70 and just picked up a 18 Mountain Cat 162ES don't plan to quit any time soon.
Two ibuprophen and I am ready to go.
64 now. Started in 1966. Love the mountains, especially off trail. Not nearly as nimble, but the sleds keep getting better and make up for aging. Currently have a 2015 Pro 155. Keeps me up and has a lot of slow reflex forgiveness. I may not keep up with the kids in the thick trees, but am not too far behind. Besides someone has to rescue the youngsters when they get a bit foolish (kind of like the old bull, young bull joke). Hope to have many more years, like the rest of you.
