When You Go Sledding for the First Time this Winter...
It has been snowing really really nicely this winter and I’ve been dying to go sledding, but the snowmobile I prefer has been in the shop for some major repairs.
Finally it’s working and I get to destroy these pristine powder snow views, ahhhh. So damn excited! Couple laps in the fields around the house and then off to the woods->
15 minutes later.....
Yep, it’s stuck.
I desided to go a little off route and try out how the sled would go on deeper powder snow, and as you can see, it didn’t 😂
Tried backing up, tried digging a little, tried wiggling and jumping to get more traction, but me and my 50 kilos couldn’t do shit for this.
Call father for the rescue and it took him all of two minutes to ride it out of there...
This is why you don’t ride alone, kids. I wouldn’t have tried this if I had been further away from home.
Back on this horse tomorrow when we go driving on a real route, probably for 40-50 kilometers worth. I’m gonna go with my little brother, who is not so little anymore. It’s going to be a challenge for me to keep up with his pace and I already know I’m going to be so sore the day after!
For different kind of sledding, check out this post my friend @jeffjagoe made earlier today 😁
yea i love this, i havent sled and i can only watch people do this on tv, stay safe dear and dont go too deep in the wood
Next time you should be careful... my friend @eveuncovered... Nature is beautiful, but it can be harsh.
sledding the first time in winter again #hyped
That’ll work too 😁
It's such a beautiful scenery and it's a treat to ride one of these. I live in snowy region myself and I cannot compare the joy of these rides with anything. And you know what you can't move it on your own if it gets stuck so I suggest you to ride with friends or family. That will help a lot. And BTW keep posting more about these fun rides.
Does not look so easy in deep snow :)
Should be hard enough even without the deep snow 😅
Yes, I belive you :)
SPEED is everything with snowmobiles! :D Amazing fun, especially on good ice & snow on the sea. Hammer it and try to avoid the hiding white bumps and pits x)
Yeah, learning the hard way, like always 😅
Arvaappa vaan oonko iteki joskus ollu repimässä kelkkaa umpihangesta... x)
Päättelisin että jonkin sortin itkupotkuraivaria siellä on joskus jouduttu heittämään hangessa 😂
xDDD Ei nyt sentään semmosia ihan... Mutta riittävän syvällä hangessa kuitenkin, varsinkin parikymmentä kiloa sitten :D
Sama stna touhu jatku tänää, tällä kertaa kaivettii pikkuveikan kelkkaa hangesta, hiki tuli xD
You probably know better than I what you're doing but I'd still warn against speeding in the woods. Have fun and take care!
Trust me, I'm a professional!
No.
Oh cool, you really have a lot of snow where you live ❄
That's what dad's are for!
I bet you could have gotten it out of there, but that would have ruined your manicure.
Lol. My painted nails don't effect my strength, or the lack of it.
