Yes! It was fun. My friends and I used to make snow ramps at the bottom of the hill to do jumps, it was really cool.
-
Very, very rarely. 2" wasa heavy fall. In 1962, a foot of snow fell on Dec 26 and it didn't thaw until March. This was unusually cold and surprisingly good sledding for southeast England.
-
Yes, all the time on our Krazy Karpets!
-
yes and if it snows again i am going tubing ! wheeeeeeeee +5

Oh yes. He tied the sled to the back of the car and took off with me on it. My Mother screaming by the side of the road. Perhaps he was trying to have a very convenient "accident".. When the car slowed down I kept going, missed getting pulled under the right rear wheel by inches. I declined any further "rides". LMAO
-
Yes, all the time..:)
-
Oh yes. We lived in Idaho Falls and used to go to the fire station hill and go sledding. It was a blast!
-
Oh, boy, did I ever! My first trip to the emergency room was at the age of six, from going down a hill on a sled by myself for the first time! Right into a tree at the bottom of the hill... Woke up in the ER just before a nurse stabbed me with this HUGE knitting needle, under the pretense of giving me a tetanus shot...liar! She was trying to kill me by carving my leg off with that thing!
-
Yeaaah! +5

Yes, I use to like to sled in the snow with my friends when I was a child, and even back in my teenager I use to enjoy it. Me and my friends would build all kinds of obstacle ramps and we would do all kinds of jumping tricks, it was fun.
-
When I was a kid my dad used to take my sister and I sledding at golf courses in the winter. It's one of my favorite past times... I miss it a lot.
-
No, we didn't have snow where i lived. I had a pony though and i had a lot of fun racing him alongside the highway :)
-
No. No snow in Auckland and didnt go away for holidays. Had a cool trolley my Dad made though ~ was called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and was fire-engine red. Use to race that down the long drive way .. not quite the same as snow I guess, but snow sledding never crossed my mind, til I was old enough to think ..."hmmmm I've never made a snowman or gone snow sledding!"
-
Yes, every winter. We would also use anything we could as a sledge, and I've went down hills on my jacket, street signs, a bar stool (which spun around the whole way down, which was disorientating, especially when i went off the ramp we had built at the bottom and flew through the air) and many other random things.
-
Yes, every winter. I always loved sledding.
-
Yes, did it then and still do it now with my Girls. Great Fun! +5 Best, Jonathan
-
absolutely and I still do. We take a grill with us now and a cooler full of meats as well as hot chocolate powder and gallons of water with a couple sleaves of cups. We go out and start the grill and cook up hot dogs, burgers, brats and hot chocolate and we give them out free to the parents of the kids sledding. The kids of course also get some but not until they are done so they don't get sick down the hill.(we learned that the hard way)
-
A 1956 Buick hood made an excellent sled for 5 or 6 kids. We'd wax it for a really fast run and get a new one when the sled was too banged up to work.
-
Yes I did. We had a steep hill up the road from us. It curved through the woods, a relatively narrow path through the trees, down into the school playground. I loved to take my sled down that trail. In hindsight, I was a bit crazy for doing it. But it was great fun.
-
In 1952, Nashville had its worst blizzard, ever. My dad, for three months, had been working on a homemade snow sled for me. When the blizzard arrived and the sled was ready, i had the mumps. not on one side of my face,but on both. I could only look at my new sled and cry. My dad did a super job. I did stick my foot out in the snow. i was determined.
-
Not as a child since I grew up in Florida...But as a teen til now...yep.
-
i did,we got an old car bonnet and found a big hill and went weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee all the way down
-
Yes toboggan Bobsled Flying Saucer Had good fun http://www.sledwarehouse.com/plasticsleds.htm :-)
-
No not exactly! As kids we were so poor we couldn’t afford a sledge, we used large heavy duty plastic sacks instead! We climbed inside like you would to do the egg & spoon race, sit at the top of a snow bank then edge our way over it! Then off we went at some speeds Lol.. Much better than a sledge although you did end up with a very numb backside!! :-/
-
My favorite winter pastime.
-
One afternoon in my entire life I did that.
-
Yeah it's great! One time we used a waxed up surfboard and went a lot faster, but it was hard to hold on
-
No, we weren't allowed to have snow. ;)
-
Ya loved it, we used to slide down solsbury hill (made famous by peter gabriel). We also used to jump into snow drifts off the top of the hill. we'd be up to our necks in snow, great fun. We haven't had a good snow fall around here for years to be able to try it out again.
-
Yeah. I had a crazy carpet, it was awesome.
-
'Snow'? What is this 'snow'?
-
No i live in southern CA.
-
No never did, that's something i missed when i was a child.
-
Yes, I did. I sledded in a public park about a mile from my house.
-
No. We hardly ever get snow here.
-
Yes we had lots of snow in the 1970's and 1980's and every winter we took out our sled. There was a hill near to where we lived and we would drag the sled to the top and go down it. I remember being out at about midnight when we were growing up doing that and you felt safe unlike now.
-
No we did not have a sled.
-
Every chance I got. :-)
-
Many times.
-
ooh good story! =] we have this hill near our house that is almost a drop, taking a dangerous curve at the bottom. it was aptly named 'dead mans hill'. if it got icy enough on the tops of the roads, we would shoot down like bobsleds out of control. we would build little snow ramps along the way to make death a little more exciting. remember those round yellow plastic sleds? we would all link and go down bobbing and weaving all together. we had so much fun on that hill, but we hardly get good enough snow anymore...but im sure if we did, people would be out on that hill! =]
-
Not as a child, my first encounters with snow as a child are up in the El Teide but never saw much snow there , just little patches! Was one of the first things on my to do list when I lived in Switzerland, almost killed myself! :D
-
Every year that it snowed, and it snowed every year, and it still does. :-)
-
No, I grew up in Florida. No snow or hills down here. We did slide on cardboard down the grass on the side of interstate ramps though.
-
Yes, many times.
-
yep
-
We lived on a big hill with a lot of kids in the neighborhood. We would use a car hood as a toboggan. A 56 Buick hood made the best sled. We would wax it and take it to the top of the hill. Six or seven of us would fit in the hood and we would use it until it got too smashed up then get another one.
-
Yup, there's always something magical about riding down a hill on a sled. 🛷
-
As a child living in Colorado above 6000 asl during the winter what do you think?
-
Yes, I did. There were several good hills in our neighborhood. The biggest hill was in a woods about a block from our house. Some of the bigger kids in the neighborhood had build a real ski jump about a quarter of the way down the hill. It was a small ski jump, only about 6 feet high but it sure was fun.
