I read a lot of sledders who post about riding on the edge.....why do you feel the need to ride on the edge? We were out yesterday in the the Mancelona area and some riding on the edge came around a corner and almost hit one of our riders head on, the same thing happened last year to my wife and it took her a long time to get past that little experience! It all took place right in front of me and I do not know how they did not wreck.

Snowman....

We see it every year out on the trails, but usually its after an accident and the person who was riding the edge keeps apologizing for sending someone to the hospital. Nobody ever thinks it will happen to them, or they have control of their sled at all times... The issue is you cant predict what the other person is going to do...

With that said... We are seeing less and less of the aggressive riding through corners anymore..
