The Art of Sledding

Step 6 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!

there is also no better way to have the wind knocked out of you if you go over a bump bigger than about 2 inches high at any considerable speed...
