Here is the story I heard. The person that owns property to the left just as you get onto the lake put up a orange snow fence to keep people from riding over his docks. At some point, someone knocked the fence down and people started riding around a water hole. I can understand not wanting to ride through the hole, and the land owner not wanting studs ripping up his wooden dock. I checked this out for myself, I went through the hole no problem, it wasn't that big. Landowner came out started yelling, guy on sled punched him in the face, knocked him down and kicked him in the ribs while he was on the ground. The landowner was about 60 years old, absolutely no call for what happened to him. The guy that punched him is a gutless turd. Again, this is what I heard around town. Guy was on a Orange Cat, green snowmobile suit.



REWARD!! - The Rangeley Lakes Snowmobile Club is offering a $200.00 reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest of the snowmobiler who assaulted a RLSC Trail land owner on Sunday December 30th @ 3:30pm. The assault occurred in Russell Cove where the trail crosses Route 4 in front of the ClubHouse Restaurant. The assailant was a male, about 6 feet tall and may have been driving an orange machine. There was a female and several other males in his riding group.
If you have any information please contact Club President, Steve Dudley @ 207-864-5919. He will pass the information on to the proper authorities.
This short trail from Route 4 to the Lake is a vital link in our trail system. Losing it would be a disaster for local businesses and for snowmobilers. This was the most despicable act by a snowmobiler that the RLSC has ever encountered. We want this person punished!

I hope they catch this guy. Another rider who thinks he has all the rights....

That is very disturbing. I hope the guy gets what he deserves.

I reposted this in the mass forum. You might want to hit the rest of the new england states.

Fuckin idiots everywhere ya go

What is society coming to . . . running over a guy walking his dog and driving away leaving the guy with two broken legs . . . punching a landowner in the face . . . man, some folks really seem to want to ruin the good thing we've got going in Maine in terms of public access on private land.

This story kind of reminds me of an incident that happened a few years back with my Uncle. Long story short, it was hunting season and a couple of folks from away were hunting without permission on my Uncle's land (not posted but my Uncle prefers people to ask before hunting) . . . he attempted to get their attention by blowing their car's horn . . . eventually the guys came out and basically beat the snot out of him (enough to give him a concussion) before driving away . . . end result = my Uncle's and father's land is now closed to all hunters unfortunately. It only takes one time . . . and one bad apple . . . whether it be a hunter or a sledder.

Man what are people thinking.

I know the exact spot as I have been by it a million times and as Chumslick said IT IS A VITAL ACCESS POINT!!.

I hope this despicable excuse for a snowmobiler gets caught, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and has his balls tacked to the wooden dock for all to rip over.

Despicable piece of shit.

Wow.... That's just rediculous!

Interesting one might think he was from mass ... I sure do hope it was someone from out of state this time, all this fu_kfaces are giving us a bad name. My neighbor will not let me through where we have gone forever anymore, it sucks but I dont want to beat the shit out of em' just dont expect me to do any favors for 'em.... Just remember guys do unto others as .... well you know the rest. SOMEONE must know who did this..... I say we put this guy in the water hole and use him to get through.

All right…………… before this turns into a “must be a flatlander” or Mass, RI, CT or NY guy lets not forget that this post was started to get any information from anyone who might have seen or heard anything. We as a group shouldn’t give two shits where he is from. Let’s just keep our ears to the ground and make sure this douche bag gets what he deserves.......... A visit from the local law enforcement.

WTF WAS THIS GUYS THINKING the world is a small place im sure he or someone he was with will tell someone
and with all us good sledders he will get what he deserves the state of maine should revoke is right to register a sled
pluslet the rangley club give him in public a old fashion blanket party ........ bars of soap in pillow cases and when done ask him how it feels

Well said. Couldn't agree more. Also like the blanket party idea.

That dumb ass is lucky the 60 year old guy didn't have a CCW Permit,
I would have shot the guy in both kneecaps.

firefighterjake, your uncle needs a CCW too.

Absolutely rediculous. I hope someone will hear him braggin about it. Orange Cat with green suit. Interesting. I sure hope the landowner is ok and knows there is always that 10 percent.

If that fuck face wants to hit someone bring it on i might be 45 but i would hand this bag sucker his head on a fuckin plate i'm sure he crowed like a bantam rooster to his friends after hitting the olde man fuck the fuck head that did it

Plenty of selfish idiots out there. The only ones we hear about are the ones in the news, many more aren't.

thats ashame , pussy on the sled must have been a real tuff guy

the scum is just an ordinary THUG....assault against the elderly carries severe statuatory penalties..... it will be a much quieter once the land access is revoked and there won't be any dock damage or liability, Someone has to hear some chatter.....

Unreal that this even occured. Whatever happen to respect. Prosecute to the fullest extent & than civil suit for personal damages.... Make it so that asshole cant afford a bicycle anymore!

My 2 cents-
Chris

please,let's not accuse a out-of stater(even though it most likly was).what happened that was uncalled for no matter where there from.just plain not right.pressure should high to find this person.im from rhode island and use to ride in northern maine.two year's ago myself and two friend's where on its 85n at eagle lake stopped for a break up on the hill.we watched down below as 4 sled's came sceaming across the lake,practically jumped across rt 11 without stopping and flew up 85n.about 15 min later we head the same way.about 1/2 mile we see two guy's(from lower maine) trying to pull one of there sled's out from the tree's.those 4 guy's ran them off the trail and kept going.we help them get the sled out.one guy had a badly bruise arm and leg.they said they would tough it out to portage where they where staying.we continue to track down kennel's and come across these 4 guy's in the parking lot.as we where getting ready to go in.i told them what they had done and should of atleast stop to check on those guy's.one of the four ask me if i was dnr.i replyed no,but....and he told me to go f%^k my self.they where big and badass drunken moron's from maine.a fight broke out right behind trackdown's.we kicked there butts,called dnr.got them busted, and told dnr that the guy they ran off the trail was injured and staying at dean's.am i a tuff guy.yes i am.im dead againest drinking and riding. it could of cost someone not drinking there life,as much as there own.another thing is nobody own's these's trail's,even if you live in that state..you must respect other's and property owner's that let us pass no matter where you live.it's jerk's like these 4 guy's,which definitaly got what they desevered and the jerk who hit this senior citizen is why i have not ridden in two season's after 19 yrs...hope they get caught...al.

I am not saying anyone from any part of the, Us did this! Get that clear! I wish they would have tried to pull that shit on my old man when he was still alive! AT 75 he knocked out a neigbor that climbed over his fence to get his kids ball, my dad ran out when he saw him doing it and told him there is a gate use it, the guy was a big mouth, F this and that! My dad knocked him out, he ran home called the cops, a 35 year old guy! Ran and called the cops! Mouthy tuff guys have no guts, this is just another in a long line of story's hang this puke bye his balls!

I dont have anything aganst gay folks but this guy must be a fag,,,,kinda like them fags that beat women....hope I see a him on the trail , big tuff guy.......

What a complete dick .... nevermind punching any landowner but a 60 year old guy......then kicking him when he's down? wtf? wonder if anyone at the clubhouse saw them in there first maybe? How hard would it be to remember some dickwad with a green suit on an orange sled? New Years weekend brings em all out. Dicks like this ruin it for all of us... we have a winner for biggest loser of the season already!



By the way i havent been up to camp and i wear black..... before any of you get smart !!!!

This queer should be raped with a genuine maine pine limb. A nice jagged one with pitch and slivers sticking out all over the place. What a loser.

Peckerheads like that can't keep their traps shut.
He'll be blabbing and someone will hear him and the word will get out.
We in Mass can be jerks on line, but everyone I know from Mass would never do something like that.
Hope he gets caught

Lets make it a little more interesting!!!!!! I will add $50 to the reward Besides after he is procecuted, I volunteer at 64 years old to race him between the club house and the insection at Round Pond....He won't make it

"Tread Lightly" Ride Sober, and Play Safe

Meant to ask ya how that new outfit you bought on Monday was treatin' ya....

wow, that sucks, hope they catch him thats rediculous, that guy should start carying a gun.

The rediculous part is, no he shouldnt have to carry a gun, i mean come on!!!

that is so sad land owners let us ride on ther land and this shit head has to do some thing like this I'll bet he was drunk and had balls showing off for his pals and girl and right now he's not drunk trying to paint that cat in the dark. Mass,Maine,NH,RI,CT, no way man this shit is from pussville. IF YOU READ THIS ASSHOLE DRINK ALL YOU WANT GET YOUR BIG BALLS AND CALL ME

Someone knows this loser, it WILL come around.
what a scumbag!

Yup.
Steve in Ct

let the punishment fit the crime ! clamp his balls in a vise , tie his hands behind his back , put a razor blade between his teeth and set the building on fire !

Thinking of the Landowner:
Are there any suggestions on how to let the gent who got assaulted know that we are not all bad and we are thinking of him?
Should we pitch in and get him a big gift cert. to Loon Lodge or similar?
I would be glad to start this off with $25.
I have paypal and will gladly pick up the cert the weekend of the 11th.

I will need to know where to drop it though.

Just for the record, there are several folks on this site who will vouch for my integrity, just so you do not think I will run with your $$.
-Chumslick
-Jehu
-Kubota3130
I am also aposted RLSC Member

I will add $100 to the fund. If it was a flatlander I will throw in another $100.

I would be happy to donate $25 to the landowner. I think he needs to be made aware that we are 98% good people, and unfortunately one jack-off ruined the party for all of us...

Let me know where to paypal/send and I'll get right on it.

This is one of the best posts yet . . . threatening the moron with violent acts is unreasonable and not likely to happen, accusing the idiot from being from State A, B, C, etc. is not helpful . . . what would be helpful and reasonable is to have folks think hard about who this guy could be and to keep an eye out for this guy (just be aware that it is possible that more than one guy could be wearing a green jacket while riding an orange sled) and then report it to the appropriate agencies.

In the meantime I think getting this landowner a gift certificate would be very appropriate. I might suggest you contact the club in Rangeley for more info and to see if this is something they might get on board with as well . . . and then let us know how to send in a donation (I personally like using Pay Pal.)

I’ll vouch for Glock30’s integrity. I also think that if we are going to do this for the landowner we may offer up more than the above mentioned Gift Certificate. With gas and oil prices through the roof why not fill his oil or propane tanks? Maybe get him a gas card or even offer to get a crew to his house this spring and fix his dock if it needs repair. Just a couple of idea’s, I just hope that were not too late to help RLSC fix this. I agree with firefighterjake in trying to get in touch with the club to find out how to get the donation to this gentleman. He may not be too keen on seeing a bunch of guys on sleds pull up to his house right now.

I have been in contact with Steve Dudley, the club president. I sent him a link to this thread, the club appreciates our help. There are more details, I will post them asap.

i can't believe this happened ..........we were in that area all weekend and i can't remember seeing a green suit on an orange cat but i'm sure someone saw that color combo............i'm almost embarassed to share the trails with someone like that............i really don't know what else to say other than i hope to hell someone finds him or turns him in..........made me forget how good the trails were all weekend and how much of a good time we all had........

Thanks Chumslick keep us informed.

Chumslick,
Thanks for getting in touch with the club.
When a consensus is reached with the club on how we can best help out this landowner I will go through the posts and PM all those who said they will donate and give them my PayPal info.

I will then follow the clubs suggestion and purchase the appropriate gift cert. (Lumber Yard, Oil Company, IGA etc.)
Keep those donations coming!

Guys, I will tell you this, you will not find a more honest man on this planet than Glock 30.
That said I am still in disbelief about this incident, I was shocked beyond words when I read this on the RLSC web site,
these types of things arn't supposed to happen in Rangeley, this is city type of shit (apologies to all you city dwellers).
If this 100' of trail were to close it would absolutely kill that side of town.
Put me down for $25.00 Glock 30, I also like Kubota 3130s idea about helping the landowner out with damage control.
Jim.

This is also an awesome idea...

Thank you all for turning this into a constructive thread (not that the bashing part wasn't warranted). As I posted on the RLSC site, the reward is js just a shot in the dark to see if someone knows this guy and will come clean. The 65+ y/o landowner didn't in any way deserve this callous assault.
As for contributing to the reward - if you're truly serious PM me and I'll keep tabs and keep updating the posted reward announcement. And as far as chipping in to help with repairs go, feel free to touch base with Steve Dudley through his email address on the RLSC web site. It would be wonderful if we can somehow make amends for this act - an action which in no way reflects the attitude or spirit the rest of us have in this sport.
Thanks again for such a positive response,

Linc Avery, RLSC Webmaster

I'm in for $25. I'ts ashame this happens.

guys I can get my dad to pick up something.. he is the VP of the club there and I can give him the $$.. so if you ever want we can run it through HCS and then I will just give him the $$... let me know.

wonder why this happened, I didn't read the info yet, will right now.. doesn't make any sense to me.. just dumb.

When its figured out i am in for donating... whatever it takes to help the landowner out and to show that all sledders aint like that.

me too
