I grew up in Northern Ohio, and used to love riding sleds of all kinds. I am not a big fan of toboggans simply because they cannot be steered effectively and you can't get 6 people to lean the right way to avoid a head on with a tree, especially if they have been drinking....I know, I have been there.:grin:
I remember one evening sled riding down a very steep, icy slope that was scary fast. Probably too fast to be going down at night, even if we were sober...but we were just teenagers and invulnerable to injury and ignorant of the fact that it was just down-right dangerous and stupid.
When I think back to all the things I did when I was a teenager, and how dangerous they were, I wonder how I made it to 66 years old...:grin: I can only assume someone was looking out for me.
