The New Age of Sledding

So my ward had a sledding activity today. We just went to a park and found places to sled - no real 'ramps' or whatever. We hiked up this path and used that as our sledding spot. Half the time involved massive snowball fights instead of actual sledding, but it was awesome. We had a few tubes and those worked the best - putting 3 people on it made it go the fastest!

The best part, though... was at the end. We were all done, almost all packed up, and ready to go. But then someone had the bright idea to attach a rope to the back of Rob's car and two people could sit on the tube, hold on to the rope, and let the car pull you down the street (which was covered in snow/ice). Jess and I did it the first time and it proved to be a pretty stupid idea. The tube ended up going faster than the car and we almost ran into the moving tires! So we improved it a bit. We got much closer to the car, put our feet on the back bumper, and tried again. However, this time Jess and Matt were on the tube. I was in the back of the car videoing the whole thing. And Isaac and JJ joined in as well. It's a pretty awesome video. Enjoy.

That looks pretty dangerous. I guess I am not that adventurous. I am too afraid of broken bones.

A man is in jail in our area because of accidentally killing his daughter while she was tubing behind the car. I hate to put a damper on things, but this is really dangerous.
