The Art of Sledding

Step 7 Turning

To turn drag your hand in the snow. In this image I am simply dragging my palm. A more aggressive turn can be made by putting all of your body weight on one fist. Note that my hands are to my sides and not in front of my face. This allows me to switch rapidly from the full tuck to turning. Additionally, if my hands were in front of my head they would shoot snow into my eyes and could get pulled under the sled.

SLEDDING IS DANGEROUS! EXERCISE CAUTION!

What i do is carry a stick and jam that in the ground and you turn fast plus you don't loose allot of speed.

But see, for a person in the sophisticated art of "Extreme Sledding" this could be dangerous... Think eyes poked out by wildly flailing arms while going down a veeeery steep hill. ;)

but for a tart with a trash can cover it works fine, but for sleds that we have like hi tech ones it works ok.
