Mad River Rocket - Killer B Sled
Price:


Product Description
In Vermont, sledding is serious business. If ever there were a place where the untapped potential of sledding as a sport could be unleashed, it would be here. And that's why a group of friends in Vermont's Mad River Valley prime sledding territory set out to create a sled that would offer what cheap toy store sleds and big, uncontrollable toboggans couldn't. And so the Mad River Rocket was born.Mad River Rocket - Killer B Sled Review
I was at a Flea Market a couple of years ago and saw one of these sitting on the table - bought it for $20 and thought it was kind of heavy when I put it in the back of my truck. When I got home, I realized that there were 3 of them sandwiched together. bonus!!!!My wife and I have used 2 of them in the woods near our cabin and have had a blast! They are really easy to learn and turn very easily. We have found that at speed they are a bit hard to control due to their short length. If you ride them all day your knees and hips do get a bit sore, but we found that walking back up hill makes you loosen up a bit.
The Mad River Rocket that we were not using, I turned in to a pulk - winter camping sled. I drilled out holes on the side for shock cord and constructed a harness with webbing and PVC tubing all for about $15. After some experimenting and a bunch of rollovers on sideslopes, I have used the sled/pulk a ton winter camping. The sled tracks well and is small enough to get through thick woods yet large enough to carry a lot of gear. I clip it in to a small backpack and have found that it is much easier and more fun to pull my gear than have on a large pack. The PVC pipes hold it away from my body enough when I an going downhill.
I would highly recommend one of these sleds if you can get your hands on one!
