What it says. We got more snow coming to cardiff apparently and we already have a good foot on the ground.
So being without a sledge and refusing to pay £10 for a bit of moulded plastic, I decided to see what things I have in excess that I could use as a sledge. Projump Boxes!
Yay or Nay?

Nah
It would go soggy mate :Claugh:
Now a couple of pairs of knackered springs (not broken ones) screwed to the underneath of an old door (can be removed from house with a screwdriver :Claugh:) should fit the bill nicely
Or a car bonnet works well if you have a spanner handy
One that worked for me is an old carry mat (camping bed) just pull the end up over your feet when yu sit on it but don't hit any rocks as they are thin and it hurts :Claugh:
Best of all though is to whip the top off a top box (car one ) that is just the right shape :Cbiggrin:

last year the best sledge we found was one of them medium sized bouncy castles fully blown up now that was funny lol other good ones a dumpy bag,food tray,bin lid? this year we are using a radio flyer cart with the wheels taken off works a treat :)
-
oh dont worry, the box would be totally covered in gaffer tape and possibly reinforced with skyrunners :)
This is me, after all!
-
tape a garbage bag to the bottom to keep it from getting soaked.

Damn! I wanted to vote twice! HTFU & I am aidan! Anyway, do it, video it, and poss earn £250!
-
body boards are quite good if you have any cheapo holiday ones knocking around also one of the best improvided sledes has to be a cam/walking survival bag (body size heavy duty bin bag) the nuts for coming down fan y big.
Other improvised options:
baking tins
tea trays
old bath
for sale boards (house for sale) there really good
lilo

Just one question
Why is this in the "Ouch I Hurt Myself" section :Claugh:
Were you intending to do it and then show the pictures of the injurys :Cbiggrin:
And you have got me thinking now mate as I have lots of worn out but not broken springs that are just waiting for me to bolt 4 of them to a plank and go sledging :Claugh:

Make a crossbow Jason, me and Parlby thought about doing this with my old skyrunner springs :L
-
Na already got one of those :Claugh:
Barnett Comando self loader
They would make good springs for an off road buggy though :Cbiggrin:

I thought about using springs last year but knowing how insanely stupid I am when it comes to fast things and adrenaline I also thought about how having a big crash and a snapped spring dig into my body was going to be a very very bad thing.
-
lockuy you know what i mean, i coudltn think of the proper word sop i put sponser.
-
Your main mistake Ben was thinking someone would pay for Locky :Claugh:
It's bad enough when we get him for free :Cbiggrin: just ask Sprog :Claugh:
Only joking Locky (please don't hit me again :Cbiggrin: )
