i’ve done this many many times but either in parking lots or in industrial areas with no traffic… and not at that high of a speed… because i like life and not being in the hospital during life. that is sooooo stupidly dangerous that it is not cool at all. i fell off a saucer on the street (in snow) at like 35kph and it hurt like hell for a long time. it takes nothing at all to get concussed with a mild fall in that kind of weather. ---

That’s insane! I also want to know what that tube is made out of because it was definitely in contact with the pavement for quite a stretch in that video. ---

No way in hell I’d do that. I’ve been behind a sled before, it was only a 440 an I think the sled only made it to ~40mph. It was out in a field that was kind of iced over, the tow rope was pretty long too, I’d guess the tube was going 80-100 when we ‘cracked the whip’. ---

But he was also wearing full leathers, helmet, etc just in case (and there was zero traffic)… granted we also rode a couch being dragged to Wegmans that night. Was that with my parents’ couch? LOL. I still never saw that vid. My dad still asks me what we did with that ---

No, this was the time previous to that, this one we found on the side of the road. ---

The frame rate seems constant so I don’t think the video has been sped-up to make it look faster… I could be wrong though. Either way, sketchy as hell! ---

It’s really hard for a sled to go 75+ mph towing an extra person on a tube. But 30-60 sure feels damn fast when your 6" off the ground. ---
