Dip shit. I did not say you don't know how to ride if you need studs. I just prefer to not use them. Grow up you ass  hat. 50 is the legal speed limit in Minnesota, but when we can we will open it up a bit. I am more into just enjoying the trails, not racing on them. Leave that up for the Darwin award winners like yourself.

50mph and under in unsafe.

I hate that un safe 50 speed. I always get chased by some asshole going way over 50 with flashing lights. They told me next time they will impound my sled if they have to chase me for 15 miles again.

I've ridden your area before.  

A lot.

I stand by my speed limit statement.

You say that. You are a funding idiot by that statement. The last three accidents that resulted in a death here, were not from riding to slow. Every one had high speed as part. You can stand, but facts win every time.

What is your point. A guy last summer was killed in an ATV. Speed was the reason. Never seen one person killed riding conditions. We have lots of older than me riding in our group. Only ones hurt have been the young and dumb.

Your post say you would be unsafe at half the legal speed limit.

Gym recognizes that gravel.  

Gym got a new belt from the best dealer in Minnesota.  Gym ported his track over the summer.  Gym would never put screws in his track.  Gym loves spinning his track and blowing snow out of every corner on the trail when Gym isn't ripping that sweet Pow outside the orange markers ripping wheelies.  Gym wonders why so many people here on not HCS are constantly fixing old junk.  Gym tries not to be judgmental.  Gym should go now.

We all know you are a moron, but speed doesn't ever cause an accident.  The vast majority are caused by rider error, a few are machine issues, or mother nature (being hit by a falling tree etc)

There is no magical speed below which you are safe, and above which you are going to die, just ask sonny bono, and mike kennedy
