Extreme sledding, the latest in extreme sports
If you think sledding using a flying saucer is a thrill--I do, the thing can spin, there's a sled out there that adds a whole new experience to winter sports. Mad River Rocket makes maneuverable adventure sleds that help you get a feeling you've turned into Superman. You don't really leap over tall buildings, but flipping, dipping and darting through trees, over ditches, up embankments, down snow covered stairs, human-made hills and naturally formed mountains is on the menu--if it's covered with snow, you're in luck.
Extreme sledding is one of the latest trends that has turned the thrill of childhood into a sport that can send adults hearts' racing. Here's a video to show just what a Mad River Rocket sled can do plus an ABC News article that details its wonder. What isn't shown is how the sled can also be used to tow gear if you're hiking in the winter. The company's Web site details more extreme sled info with loads of photos.
