I had a phenomenal day out with my oldest Brook (21) a couple weekends ago. This was her first time back on a sled for quite some time. It is absolutely amazing what a little adventure does for family dynamics.

She was pretty incredible. Never even skipped a beat when it came to carving and sidehilling. She sure loves the Axys chassis. I'm trying to talk her into having a sledding wedding, but I am thinking her and her fiance will have more of a hunting theme. I'm cool with anything really, for the sooner they get married the sooner I'll get some little grandsledders! Here are a few pictures of our day out! we swapped clothes half way through the ride. These riding pics are of Brook.

Took my son out for about an hour just in field close to my place. He’s getting the hang of standing up while riding pretty well. “Dad, can you make it go a little faster.” Music to my ears. Not much better feeling as a parent than watching your kids enjoy the same things you do, IMO.

Daughter rode solo on the Enticer 340 for the first time which was a big step from the Kitty Cat. She is a ripper I am going to have to install a throttle stop. I even talked my Mom into going for a ride and had all 5 sleds in motion the same day. Didn't have to change fouled spark plugs or carb jets.

I had my daughter out on my old 1985 Suzuki LT50 a couple weeks ago. Not even 3 years old and she was getting the hang of going straight and the on/off throttle thing, now to work on corners! Pretty proud Dad moment!

The boys have had a good winter on their 120's. My 5 year old is getting bored of his 120. He's getting creative in what he can ride over and how he rides. I've seen everything from feet over the bars, to standing on the rear bumper, to... I've seen a lot of progress in his riding this year though. I never knew you could rip donuts on a 120, but he can as he's figured out how to ride with both feet on one board. He's also trying to master sidehilling the snow piles in the yard.

My 3 year old just started riding on a consistent basis by himself this year. The tin on my shop lost a few battles this year, but overall he's done pretty well and can handle a sled surprisingly well.

The stock 120 is on tank of gas #41 for this year. The green, 200 converted 120 is on tank #16. I Put handwarmers on the Orange one this year and the boys were happy. I'm selling the Green one in fall as I think the older terrorist is moving on to a ZR200 in fall. I told myself I wouldn't move him too fast, but he's 61lbs and over 50" tall and has zero trouble taking corners at full speed on the 200 converted 120 already. If anyone is looking for a set of handwarmers for a 120, I have a new spare set I don't think I'll put on the green one before I sell.

Am very proud of my oldest...I never started breaking stuff until I was atleast 8. He's 5 jumping wind rows with the 200 converted 120 and bent a shock shaft which sheared the shock eyelet off. We were 5 miles from home and I figured out the most ukranian fix there was...remove the shock and replace with a crescent wrench. put the lower bolt through the eyelet of the wrench and adjust the upper jaws around the upper bolt. Used a shoelace to minimize how much the front end could drop out to not lose the wrench. Held for the entire 5 miles...

LOL, love the last photo. The young man looks devastated.

Some non sledding good times and one kinda sledding.
Clean the pond behind the house to skate - risk the wrath of city bylaw for neighborhood fun!
But everything outdoorsy!
Can't beat the farm for good times, unless you a critter in my girls sights!!!

My daughter ran over one of my smaller trees with hers, “just like in the videos”. Trees for traction, unless I planted them. Lol.

Lots of miles and good times on the 120s this season. Maybe some bigger sleds next winter. Pics are from last weekend.

My kids are out of school for the week so we are trying to put some miles on the machines before the snow disappears. It has been a lot of years since I went sledding locally in April.

We introduced sledding to another one of my daughters friends and once we talked her into driving she had a blast. They burnt off a half a tank of fuel in the Phazer. My 7 year old rode the Enticer the whole time except when I had to fix the ground wire for the coil. She was really happy when I got it running again.
