You're right...I didn't intend to come off with that attitude and understand how that can be perceived. No, I do not personally ride like that or in any way attempt to jeopardize the trail systems. I enjoy a groomed trailed just as much as the next person and as I said above, I COMMEND the VOLUNTEER groomers for their efforts. Cheers

and this:
" Sorry, I just don't like when some people tell others how to ride. If you want the groomed trails, get out after the groomer, if not, deal with it. "
To be honest with you comments like that make people just as pissed off as you get when you think people are telling you "how to ride." Your attitude reeks of a typical who gives a *bleep* as long as I am having fun i could care less what kind of damage I am causing. The damage caused could be trail closure, that is what secondcurve was referring to.
It is pretty common knowledge that we must tread as light as possible on fresh groomed trails, yet you dismissed that (incorrectly).
No offense shreddy, as I have thoroughly enjoyed your posts in the past, but occasionally you come of with an attitude of "too bad if you don't like it, I'm gonna do it." Sometimes we need to consider how our actions might affect things in the long term/big picture. I'm all for fun and speed and noise, in moderation, when it's not stressing everyone out around me.
