Sledding Instructions

there are several things about sledding that a street sledder must know:

beware of traffic

you will never sled the first time you try unless someone pushes you over the edge 

cardboard will only protect you from the snow while it is not wet so a garbage bag helps

you have to carve out a hard path to move forward, but it is faster to go down the same path once it has been carved

once the path hardens, it is hard to steer off of them and make new ones without a lot of speed

if you use your hands to steer, you can shred the skin off of your fingers without something to protect them

sometimes you only get part way down the hill but you still want to start at that peak

you have to climb up the hill every time but it is rewarding each time you get to slide down the hill

it takes more effort to climb the hill than it does to slide down
