How Do You Sled Using An Air Mattress?
• Wait for it to snow, it won’t work as a sled in mud! • Dig out the inflatable air mattress, preferably a double one, out of the attic/loft. • Remember to grab the foot pump and a cycle helmet! • Find some friends, the heavier set the better for extra speed. • Drive out somewhere hilly and select a field with as few walls as possible. • Seek the Farmer’s permission to use his field otherwise you may come face to face with a shotgun. • Walk down the sled run. Make especially sure there are no hidden streams or strips of barbed wire. • Don goggles, hats and cycle helmet. • The shiny side of the mattress should be the one in contact with the snow. • Put heavier set friends in the middle of the bed. If the heavier set friends go on the outside of the mattress you will spin around a lot. It’s quite scary hurtling backwards down a hill! Off you go!
