Sledding is a common activity in wintry areas. The term refers to traveling down any sort of decline, typically in cold weather, on a surface such as snow. Flat, plastic discs can be used, or wooden flats with metal runners. Similar to sliding, but requiring a "sled".
Sledding Techniques
The first ride down a hill on a sled is the most important, but most difficult, as it determines the path of the sled for further runs down the hill. It is essential to steer the sled along the most exciting course, perhaps adding twists and turns to make the run down the hill more exciting, or faster. Other techniques to improve the ride include turning around, lying on the stomach, or closing both eyes. Running up to a sled and jumping onto it can create additional momentum and improve ride speed. This technique can be referred to as "Flopping."
There are 4 types of sleds commonly used today: disks, toboggans, tubes, and runner sleds. Each type has advantages and disadvantages if one is trying to get the most out of a given slope.
