Pic of the older times is a true reminder of the pioneers that have carved out the trails we follow today. I wonder in 20-30 or so years will we be thought of as pioneers as well, turning over from 2 strokes to 4 strokes, riding trails that are today and will not be tomorrow. Will we have the stuff our precedents had? We think we are at the top of our game today with sleds and trail groomers but in the yester years they thought the same and in 20 yrs from now they'll be thinking the same too. Will our generation be the next generation of pioneers? hi jg and nshm !!! thx !!! yaaa...pionners of course ...i remember when i was 12-14 y/o going with dad and brothers working on the trail ..grooming with a b-12...operator had to go outside to adjust drag..ahha!!! then from twin tracks to farm tractors to br !!! whats its going to be grooming in 20 years ??? the equipment etc ??? back in the old days..trails were narrower ...bumpy ...but it was fun !!! right nshm ...younger people need to get involved....volunteering is big problem for many clubs !!! jean-guy nyskidooerinnewhampshire and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
