Homemade D.I.Y. sleds

Yesterday, I challenged the kids in the park around the corner with two homemade sleds. I’ve built both very quick with a few wooden slats and some pvc skids. The Powerslide 9000 has a rather simple design – it is basically a flat and fast version of the classic “Davos” sled which I always liked.

The other one is more sophisticated. It has three skids and an active foot steering. It tourned out that the design of the Snowrocket drags a lot of attention especially amongst the five year olds. But it was also quite dangerous to ride.

Here’s a video of the two sleds in action:
