There are three different sports of sledding which are bobsledding, luge, and skeleton sledding. 4. Bobsledding and luge are both events of the Winter Olympic Games. 5. Skeleton is supposed to reappear at the Olympics at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. 6. Bobsledding involves a team of two or four persons riding in the sled. 7. Luge involves either one or two persons, and skeleton involves only one person on the sled. 8. In luge sledding the racer lies flat on his back feet-first after starting in a seated position. 9. The athlete is head-first lying flat on his stomach after a running start. In skeleton sledding it's just the opposite. 10. All three sports are performed on the same tracks. 11. The average track is 1,500 m long and 1.4 m wide. 12. In the Olympics each athlete takes four runs down the track.
- (Sleds may not be made 100% of the following) There are wooden sleds, plastic sleds, steel sleds.
-Sleds can be used for carrying things, playing, and racing.
- There’s three different sports of sledding which are bobsledding, skeleton sledding and Luge
-Bobsledding when teams make timed runs down narrow, twisting, banked, iced tracks in a gravity-powered sled.
-A luge is a small one- or two-person sled on which one sleds face up and feet-first. Steering is done by flexing the sled's runners with the calf of each leg or exerting opposite shoulder pressure to the seat. Luge is also the name of the sport which involves racing with such sleds. It is a competition in which these sleds race against a timer.
-Skeleton is a fast-moving sliding sport during which athletes experience forces up to, but not exceeding, 5Gs, a stipulation enforced by the FIBT. Given the speeds attained by sliders up to 80 mph, they are not allowed any steering or brakes. Steering is managed by slight shifts of the athlete on the sled and by dragging the feet.
Snowmobiling is considered modern sledding. Snow mobiles are motorized sleds. They are usually propelled by a continuous track like a tank. When they are set up for ice-drags they can accelerate to 100mph in under six seconds. Snowmobiles are used in races all year in terrane like snow and grass.
Sledding in the 21 century: 1. In sledding you have to sit on your bum or stomach. 2. To steer you must take the string that is connected to the sled, and pull on it in the direction you want the sled to go. 3. The requirement for sledding is snow, a sled, a steep slope, and lots of warm clothing. 4. Sledding is also known as fringe recreational activity. 5. The types of sleds you can use are round, like trashcan lids, or a flat like rectangle that curves a little on the sides. 6. To improve the speed of the ride you can jump on the sled before you take off. 7. If you sled in Hawaii you might have herd of the Hawaiian lava sledding. This type of sledding is like sledding in snow except, here is the twist, you sled in rocks! 8. The sleds there are 12 feet long and 6 inches wide. JA=DB
