Worst Job To Support Sledding

BrokenRider · Nov 27, 2009

I'm sure we have all done some stuff we are not proud of to fuel our addiction to sledding such as converting grocery money into sled gas haha. My question is what is the worst job you've had just to keep on sledding. Here is mine telemarketer!!

I didn't start riding until I was out of college and could afford it. For this....I blame my parents!

Its not that I have a bad job - its just how much I work to snowmobile that is shamefull. I have been working 6-7 days a week non-stop this year to make sure I can afford my habit.

I normally don't work in the winter as I have a seasonal job, but due to the economy I am forced to work this winter to support my addiction. that is the part that sucks, when I look out the window of the shop, see a beautiful blue bird day, and realize I have to work!! as far as the actual job, I love it!! building sleds at c3 powersports, can't get any better as far as work goes. feels like I am in my shop tinkering with sleds all day, my second favorite past time!!

in highschool i detailed semi-trucks and changed tires at the same shop along with a lot of mowing and sand blasting. i said screw that after 3 years of it and went to work on a ranch as a ranch hand building/fixing fence, haying and whatever else needed to be done. this summer i worked on the same ranch and from July 6th to Sept 10th i had 2 days off.....hayed for a month and a half straight and as soon as we got done with that i went and helped a guy harvest for about another month (barley blows!). every one of those days were atleast 12hr days.....all to support my addiction lol

Dogmeat · Nov 28, 2009

eh ...

I didn't really start this whole psychoic sledding thing till after I graduated college ..... so I have had a decent job to support it.

I have no furniture, but I have tons of sled parts and tools and ****

My problem was during high school and now in college there is no time to work real jobs (especially when ya gotta spend your weekends sledding) I had to take what I could get haha and I am dead serious when I say Ive collected all my friends bottles in order to go sledding for a weekend.

roughrider99 · Nov 28, 2009

at the moment i work at small town grocery store to pay for sledding, its terrible and embarassing job as i used to be forest fire fighter in the summer and work in a tire shop during the winter. last year when i was in college i would go to school from 8-3, then work 3-10 to pay for sledding. i will be searching for a night job when i move up to northern alberta this jan. as i will be close to the mtns and sledding whenever i;m not in school or doing work. past 2 summers i work 2 jobs, 7 days a week with and usually take 1 week off for mtn biking.

Worst job for sledding? Working on a cruise ship - anything that takes you out of the element.

Seriously though, the worst I had was either a job that I traveled out of state a lot or snow removal. Snow removal sucked because I got up early on snow days to work and was burned out by the end of the day. Everyone was hitting the slopes or sledding and I was moving that white sh it.

BrokenRider · Dec 1, 2009

Oh man BugIto dont tell me that I just got a job running skid-steer on the snow removal crew. I was told however they only work at night so if I get off at daylight Ill be going riding ... really who needs sleep anyway haha

not proud of it but have been a walmart greeter for 2 months and in the past i have sold my body to pleasure women. J/K

i think i win... i dishwashed in highschool, and was able to get a job workin in the dining hall on campus at college.. easy work, makes decent money, and you work at night, so sled during the day. it aint pretty, but the dollars spend the same!

not the worst but not the funnest either is wrenching on my own sleds to save money for more sled stuff.

The jobs I dred the most are putting back in the driveshaft, track and rear skid and anything to do with disconnecting the plumbing.

Love having it done right though!!!!

Also to save $$ I mow my own lawn and shovel my own driveway and sharpen my own skates occasionally and love to buy used chit on ebay and snowest. All money saved goes right into my top secret off shore snowmobile fund.
