Growing up, we ran the ole scout down the dirt road with the toboggan hooked on the back bumper.

Watch out, someone'll be turning you in to CPS for child abuse.

When I was a kid we did this but used snowmobiles to pull the sled. And most of the time the goal was to knock the person on the sled off, lol.

yup , 3 wheeler or snowmobile

had a friend get a little carried away on the drive way with he quad and me in the trailer , I ended up with a lot of gravel in my arm

thank god the well water was freezing cold as I was scrubbing that out it numbed it enough.

I went to the DR for my camp physical 3-4 days later they would not let me leave without antibiotics sure it would be infected even though it wasn't , it was just a lot of scab both hands and up past my elbow

snow is more forgiving especially is your already on the ground


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

By the time the little plastic sled broke in half they were pretty cold. Grandson was teasing his sister and friend cause he hadn't fell off. His next turn I made sure he rolled several times grin

LOL, saw this for sale the other day.
Bench seat welded on.
And seatbelts!
Seatbelts seem like a BAD idea.

best sled I've found for the kids is the black containment tubs that sit next to gas wells with the small chemical inducter in them. they are built a lot like a truck bed plastic liner but thicker. lots of abandoned wells around an the river likes to flood anything that floats away from said wells so it's a win win.

Car hoods are great if you dull or cut off sharp edges. weld some handles on. That seat looks dangerous.

I dont have a car hood. Somebody gave them that plastic sled. Now I have to buy another one. Supposed to get freezing rain tonight. Then more rain all week. Supposed to stay above freezing for awhile starting tomorrow. So snow will be gone. Wont be any half empty ponds.
