Redneck Sledding
 

Yes a few of you have heard of this already, however what it is is...Tie a Rope to the trailer hitch of a Dodge Ram (or equivalent 4wd vehicle), give about 20 feet of distance and tie it to a handle of some sort (a small piece of wood about 3" wide x 10" long is what we used) now, get a saucer sled (metal preferably because we broke 3 plastic ones in a day) wait for the first snow/ice storm, and find a decent sized field (or local city streets). Now utilizing one driver, and one spotter in the bed of the truck, toss the dumbest person on the sled first (that unfortunately was me). Toss the truck in 4wd if needed, and go! We used 5 acres of the 10 acre field behind me and had a BLAST! Speeds in excess of 45 MPH were hit, blood was shed, bones probably broken, but all in all it was a GREAT TIME. We broke the first two plastic saucers NO PROBLEM, and then we went onto a snow/boogie board which was just too fast. Since the perimiter of my field is covered by stickerbushes on 3 sides, we all went into them, but....by far the worst one was my buddy Mike (skaman). You know youre a redneck when you are stuck a few feet deep in these rather hellish stickerbushes and your buddies are laughing at you telling you "DONT MOVE...WE NEED A PICTURE OF THIS!" Unfortunately for Mike his bad luck did not stop there, when he was sent into my metal sided barn at about 30 MPH...his arm was bruised, cut, and possibly broken...the barn was dented, and the Rat/Mouse traps he ran over destroyed :-)

More pics and a few videos will be posted in the next hour or so. Next time it snows, make sure you get in contact with me to either try or watch this.

A little different twist was a quad, 25 ft of rope, a three person sled throw in some drinks and it was a blast of a weekend. The only damage done was when the sled got off course and caught me in the back of the legs. If it wasnt for the beer it may have hurt.

:rofl:

now that is a statement that i am sure many people here can apply to several "great ideas" they or a friend had about 2 hours after the drinking started. lol

I must say it was a fun day with jon..... and of course it was my driving skills with the truck that whipped mike into the pricker bushes...... HAHAHA but atleast i didn't whip him into the barn.

:werd:

Yea, getting molested and nearly neutered by thorn bushes was a lovely experience, but if you guys wanted to get a good pic of me in pain the barn incident would have been a much better selection. even better yet, the dent in the barn says it best...
