Sled

Yes that's right. Here in the south we get maybe one snow a year. And I always enjoy it. Last year, me and my friends wanted to go sledding, but all we had were the tops of storage bins, and the didn't work to well. So I planned ahead this year.

It started snowing on a Friday aabout 2 weeks ago, so after work, me and a co-worked went to the hardware store. I picked up 10 ft of 1" PVC pipe, two angled PCV connectors, rope, bolts, and a piece of plywood. After a little drilling and fastening, and I had this guy. It worked well, but not as well as I had hoped. It had little problem sliding, but it was too low to the ground. On a good hill, it kicked up a bunch of snow in my face and was hard to see. I countered that by standing on it and realized I could actually steer it a little bit. All in all it was a success, and on a budget. However next year, I'll spend the extra few dollars and get a 3" or 4" pipe. That should let me sit as well as stand. Until then.....
