We went riding this past weekend around my home town, which is a pretty rare treat in March, but it was wet, sloppy mash-potatoe snow, perfect for roosting your buds. My friend got me pretty good with his Mach 1 while I was trying to get my helmet/gloves on, but I saw it coming so I was able to get my helmet on and shield flipped down, and hide behind what little windshield I have. It looked pretty sweet, but most of the snow flew over my head.

What happened after that was the best part. He pulled off to the other side of the trail to laugh at me, but left just enough of a gap for me to get in front of him, right on top of a huge pile of sloppy snow. I pulled right up there, dug my heels in and let him have it. It wasn't untill a few seconds later that I turned around to see that he never even ducked, and never even flipped his shield down. After he realized his shield was up, he tried to turn his head, but that just made it worse, the shield scooped it all right in to his helmet. It was packed in behind his glasses and everything. He was laughing so hard because he just thought he was going to take his payback like a man, but forgot his shield was up. It was too funny for him to even be mad at me, and he did ask for it...

Does everyone else out there think this is fun, or is there something wrong with us? Post your best roosting story...

no thats fun and funny

im told i roost lots of rocks up so legand has it

Nothing wrong man, roostings part of the game!

i was blazing some trails through the trees one night up in ADK, and didnt have enough speed to go up and over a bank to get back out on the trail and ended up burying my sled. After my buddy and i dug away the snow to the front and side i was able to get it to barely move. i grabbed almost all the throttle and got out, with the sled sliding sideways across the bank, totally forgetting my buddy behind me. he didnt even have a helmet on, he was completely covered.

Again, it was too funny for him to be pissed.

I did the same thing to a buddy. I got stuck, he helped me out and I grabbed all throttle to make sure I got the rest of the way out. After I got out and turned around, he was standing there wiping snow off from him and his sled and the rest of the group were about falling off their sleds laughing. Didn't even know I did it until I got turned around. I apologized but it was no biggie. Had a good laugh.

We also doo it w/ our bass boats. Trim the motor up and hit the hotfoot real quick. Follow me too close and I'll get ya from 50yds away.

A buddy and I were out riding with a uniformed RCMP Corporal about 10 years ago. We were parked on a big snowbank beside a snow fence. Buddy was parked in front of "The Major" (our nickname for the Mountie), and punched it to leave. The sled dug down in the soft snow, so buddy hammered the throttle so he wouldn't get stuck. The Major began to look like Frosty The Snowman. The funniest part was when The Major was fumbling under his parka, trying to unlimber his .38 Special from its holster to exact a little revenge.

To this day, buddy claims it was an accident. The Major retired to my former hometown, and we still laugh about it over coffee when I go back to Manitoba to visit.

me my buddie and the guy i sold my old sled to were out riding having a good ole time but i noticed every time i stopped i could see the tip of his ski's when i looked back, so i waited till i got near a decent snow drift and sure enough there they were so i played it off like i was wanting to know which way did they want to go and soon as he lifted his visor up to answer, i nailed the crap out of it and packed his helmet full and the sled too! i was laughing so hard i fell off the sled tears were froze to my face. took about 20 mins to get all the snow out of his stuff. he said he learned a good lesson but that it was funny as hell!! said he felt like a deer looking in the headlights. ah! it was beautiful :lmao:

Actually, shortly after, my friend got be back with a gravel shower. I saw that one coming too, and slowed down so most of it went over my head, but one piece got me right in the knuckle. I need to get bark busters for my sled i guess. I didn't try to get revenge, but let him know he got me good at the next stop and and I was calling it quits. (I honestly don't think he meant it, the trail was all covered where he got me...) I draw the line at gravel... Even on bikes, loose sand is OK, but I try to be careful of who's behind me in the gravel.

Heh, that&#39;s a going to be a tough story to beat, I think zog wins the prize for best roost story...

Funny, I didn&#39;t say anything being an older fuddy-duddy but the first thing that entered my mind when I read the post is how dangerous this could actually be. Could quite easily take an eye out. :(

It&#39;s all fun and games till ya hit the wife in the face with a small rock. Then it turns ugly real quick as you are chased through the ditches at breakneck speed trying to escape the wrath.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Now that&#39;s funny !! I have been in serveral identical situations myself.. Only.. I caught him &#33;!!

2 weeks ago, coming home, part of our group was splitting off to go home at a 90 degree banked turn, so instead of making the turn, I went over the bank, nailing it as I go to the top-about 4 feet up. Didn&#39;t realize my buddy, the state trooper was directly behind me-I was told he looked like Frosty when I got done-I apologized and told him I didn&#39;t know he was there-he looked skeptical but accepted my apology-but I am paying close attention to him whenever we ride together now.......
