I haven't been cruising the Sled forums for that long, but am struck by the diversity of ages, technical skills, and knowledge. I read various posts, some that interest me personally, others that don't apply, and in every case, am struck by how much you guys know about your sleds. Some of you appear to be tied to one brand. Others own at least a couple of other brands, and the list of former sleds owned by each of you, is often loooong.
Now it's not that I'm nosy, ... OK, maybe a little bit.
What really interests me is how so many of you guys came to know so much. I mean, really. I see a discussion with many members chiming in, some of them rated as Advanced, or Senior, or some other rating indicating a high ranking knowledge level. And I'm impressed by the content of your posts. Then I look at the age... 37, or 40, or so.
How long have you been riding?
Even if you were riding since kidhood, that does not explain how you managed to be sled savy. Most people just jump on and tear off.
So... My question is:
Where did your knowledge and love of sledding start?
What is your story?
Please do tell how you got involved in sledding? How many years? At what age did you start? Was it your dads, or uncles that got you started? What sleds did you ride? What sleds did you own? What sleds did you fix? Were you, or are you involved in automotive repair? And the fabricators... How the heck did you learn to modify tracks, and to move seats from one model to another totally different model or vintage?
Anybody out there with a story?
