Do you think the same about Heli-Skiers, backcountry telemarking skiers, Mountain Climbers, Hang Gliders, Sky Divers, hikers, mountain bikers? Isn't anything that requires search and rescue risky? What makes sledders any different. Any of the activities I discussed carry risk, some more than...
Don't kid yourself. The cops couldn't care less if a sled is stolen and make hardly any effort to investigate when they are, which is evidenced by others comments on this site that have had them stolen and reported them to the cops. When you target one "identifiable" group, on a weekend when...
My 11 year old plays it a lot, loves it, I try to play with him but I get killed after about 5 seconds (never see the bad guy or can't hit the broad side of a barn). He let's me play to be kind I think.
Good points. I have said that exact thing to my MLA recently, and have encouraged my riding buddies to do the same thing. Some do, some don't unfortunately. I agree that people need to start speaking up and have advocated that. I have also encouraged them to buy trail passes. I haven't been...
I don't consider fighting against a lousy law a waste of money. The "waste" as you note is one hell of a lot less than the waste the law and this unit is. Fighting these tickets is also one way to send a message, in addition to talking to the lawmakers.
How about my tax dollars that are wasted on a special enforcement unit just to harass sledders and quadders that wouldn't even be necessary if Dracona County was more reasonable. Fighting the ticket is one way of trying to institute change. It's easy for you to say when you're allowed to ride...
So clear something up for me. Are you pushing that only "club" members should be allowed to ride on crown lands? What if there is no club maintained trails in an area? I certainly hope that you people are not pushing the government to do this. The only people that are "freeloaders" as you...
I don't know what you'd base the defence on, as Strathcona County does not allow riding in the ditch of a public road allowance. Fighting it maybe on the basis the law is unfair and that why are horses allowed in the ditch but not sleds...? Not a good defence I know, but it will at least make...
