Ahh Jim yes my friend the old days are gone! Darel with his 670 summit and chad with his not so stock 700 wild cat high marking and steve o filming (what happened to him? ).... yes now we have a young hot shot on a turbo nipex with 174" track going vertical. But hey I'm riding an old turbo RX1 159" track and having fun! Hey a great group of guys sledding for the day.... then going for drinks and good food talking about the days events. Can't give that up! I think the wives look forward to us leaving in the winter! lol

Ain't nothing like the sound of triple pipes though. Love those old wedges.

people pulling knives at boulder cabin....wrecking motel rooms....rude people....sounds to me like someone just wants out of the sport and trying to find a good way to justify it to his friends. did any of these activities affect you directly?

betcha you'll keep driving your car/truck even tho drivers are less educated and twice as ignorant as 40 years ago.
betcha you'll keep going to the mall when people won't hold the door open for you.
and the list goes on....just say you're old and tired and quit blaming society.

Sayin' your a wedge lover may bring out the wrong kind of people, if you know what I mean........
They were the best sleds back in the day! Ain't nothing compared to the new ones though.
