YOUTH PERSPECTIVES
TAKE A FRIEND SNOWMOBILING By: Jake Ward, Jackson County Youth Rep ver thought about taking a friend snowmobiling? I’ve personally gotten a couple friends involved and it feels pretty good to introduce them to a sport you love, and they end up enjoying it for the same reasons you do. I hope you have invited others like I have, and if not, I urge you to get on it. Nobody would want to miss out on all of the fun you can have simply by riding a snowmobile. It’s my experience you don’t need to invite someone on a high mileage ride for them to have fun, nor does the ride have to be fast. Whatever the ride, It SHOULD be hooking, thrilling and all the other positive words I can’t think of. Your friend should leave with a smile, and if they don’t, find out why and ask for a retry. Some ride ideas include, taking a nice fun ride through the back forty. Don’t have access to a piece of property? What’s one thing we all work so hard on all year long? The trail system! That is always a great choice. Always remember safety first. Make sure your friend has the safety course completed if you would like to ride the trails. You see the local restaurant off in the distance… they might be hungry! FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! People love food! Who knows, maybe the owner might be that next friend you take out for a ride. Do they like to work or be outside in general? Invite them to a meeting or some trail work days. Let them see what really goes into it all. They might get an eye opened about it and want to help. Invite them to your club fundraiser, selling raffle tickets is pretty fun! Or simply just drawing the tickets for a raffle. Got a young kid around? They love attention and they might get hooked after that. Get creative with it. The “Take a Friend Snowmobiling Campaign” for 2023 is February 11-20. Just in time for you reading this to take a friend out. Thank you for reading. Think snow!
