The Art of Sledding

Step 6The Full Tuck

The Full Tuck
There is no faster sledding position than the full tuck; belly down in the sled, feet off the ground, arms tucked in the small of your back. Many people prefer to sit on their knees or bottom, but both positions are aerodynamically inferior. Although going head first may appear more dangerous, I find that I have excellent control.

SLEDDING IS DANGEROUS! EXERCISE CAUTION!
