well if we get dumped on i will be

because my snowboard is in greensboro. and it is always fun to play with snowboards if there is enough snow

but i wouldn't mind SLEDDING. with a REAL sled. like a red rider. none of that saucer shit.

there's literally about a 1 mile radius circle around my house where it isn't doing shit according to the radar lol.. wtf

1/19/2009 9:44:01 PM

^^^ psh the saucers are the best when i was a kid living in south dakota, those were the sleds that made you almost go into the street when you went down the hill.

and the hill we sled on was hugeeee took a lot of energy out of you just climbing back up it.

1/19/2009 9:46:25 PM

i enjoy a flat bottom fishing boat tied behind a 4 wheeler/small tractor

it's a thousand wonders i didn't die as a younger individual

1/19/2009 9:47:27 PM

i like the sleds with the runners man! those things make you fly. but you need very specific conditions

hence the reason why saucers are good. your weight helps pack down the snow so that you can fly if there isn't enough slow for the runner type sled, you ruin it and don't go anywhere.

still snowing in NW Greensboro

^ they are called toboggans

UGH i'm MISSING IT

1/19/2009 9:48:04 PM

gah i want some snow dammit

1/19/2009 9:48:52 PM

^^^ i know but people get confused you know. with the hat and all

1/19/2009 9:49:16 PM

no, the hat is not a toboggan. the sled is the toboggan. it is you southerners that have a problem with this concept

1/19/2009 9:50:15 PM

you southerners

1/19/2009 9:50:44 PM

OMG, RACIST

1/19/2009 9:51:51 PM

^^^ listen if you wanna be canadian that is your business



i know what it is but i have to say saucer because i've run into this problem before.

[Edited on January 19, 2009 at 9:52 PM. Reason : .]

1/19/2009 9:52:35 PM

omg, i love those round sleds. if that is what you are referring to when you say saucer. those are my fav

1/19/2009 9:54:18 PM

yes saucer. and i know what a toboggan is. but the cool kind is neither of these things. it is this:





unless this is a toboggan. but i always thought the toboggans were the ones with the roll/curl in the front. i'm talkin bout steel runner sleds

[Edited on January 19, 2009 at 9:59 PM. Reason : whooopsssss]

1/19/2009 9:56:56 PM

we used to spray the bottom of our saucer sleds with vegetable oil


and a steel runner sled is a toboggan

[Edited on January 19, 2009 at 9:59 PM. Reason : a]

1/19/2009 9:58:21 PM

oh well i thought a toboggan was like this:




those things are kinda lame. like just a piece of flat wood.

[Edited on January 19, 2009 at 10:01 PM. Reason : either way. what i'm sayin is the runner kind are the best.]

1/19/2009 10:00:24 PM

that, too, is a toboggan.

1/19/2009 10:05:07 PM

1/19/2009 10:05:15 PM

^^ well now i know. i always just called the runner kind a sled

ours was my dads! it is badass.

1/19/2009 10:06:02 PM

1/19/2009 10:07:17 PM

1/20/2009 2:38:23 AM

Yeah, up north they look at you weird when you call it a toboggan, they refer to it as a hat....I told them southern people think of a hat as something with a brim.....I talked to one of my coworkers about wearing my toboggan while running late at night...and he was like...wut? (work up north)
