I had a bit of a set back this year, I guess at 68 I don't bounce very well either 
Are you Over 50 and STILL SHREDDING?

Dang, sorry to hear that.
My fault, blaming nobody but myself. Just a minor setback.
Hang in there. You look like you’re in great shape. you will heal fast.I had a bit of a set back this year, I guess at 68 I don't bounce very well either
Never take the blame for anything. You don't have to anymore. In this world we live in it's always someone else's fault
Thanks, I appreciate that!Hang in there. You look like you’re in great shape. you will heal fast.
Thank you sir!

79....just gave my dealer 1k check for 858 mountain cat....have to be a little careful this year so i can ride it next when i'm 80....
Question for the guys over 50.
Did you change any habits, to keep up with your riding group?
Diet? Weight loss? Gym workouts? Other?
At 44, I feel it my shoulders and joints at the end of the riding day. Especially the next day.

This flatlander runs out of lungs long before anything else...
I move the fridge farther from the couch.

Just wanted to give you guys an update. The joining of a snowmobile club, getting contacts and finding the couple guys who truly love riding as much as I do has been paying off. Although most are much younger, I have proven that I can ride, bring much to the table and most importantly...am not a flake, that short of a blizzard, you can always count me in.
That means, along the way, I weeded out the flakes, the long time riding buddies who rarely ride anymore. It's better that way, you no longer waste energy with guys who cancel on you at the last minute. Guys who use to ride 30+ times a season with me, barely ride half a dozen now. I had no choice but to move on and made a plan to continue to get my rides in.

Congrats!
Just got smarter about how to ride and not being afraid to pick my own path instead of sometimes following them up stuff that even they will be lucky to make it up. In which case I find a path around and up and then drop down to help them out. The least I can do for the times that they have to help me out (which admittedly is more then I have to help them, unless their the really younger riders ). I'm 68 and still going, almost gave it up but came to my senses! Haven't gotten out a lot yet this year but hoping the snow will really start in as it's not great yet but getting there.
The hardest thing for me is when we try to do it as a day ride, leave VERY early in the morning and don't get back til late, that takes a toll. I like to try find a place to stay up close as the makes it a whole lot easier.

So many people still to meet!
I posted about my dad last year, but we made our annual trip west last week and I have to say, it was the best I've ever seen him ride! I put a 165 on his sled and it made a big difference! All of the climbs and tree lines that I thought he'd wait at the bottom for me to come back, he'd be right behind me! 62 is a number he doesn't believe in!

I turned 61 last week
So I am now officially OVER 60 and still Shredding!
And yes, the 165 is my FRIEND!!
I'm 67 and ride a 9r.
Love the handling and power.
In California we don't have powder for too long so a turbo is a bit overkill in my view.
Hope to be riding well into 70s and beyond.
Having a great time trying to keep up with all the young guys I ride with
