These two events would be interesting events. 1.Downhill Sled RidgeRunning - Basically the sport is the same as skiing through the gates but instead of using skis an eventee would skeleton (face first) or bareback (laying on the back) down a hill where they have to negotiate gates in a certain amount of time. There would also be jumps that the Ridger could jump or not jump off of to gain extra points or marks in freestyle moves of manipulating the sled by completing a 360 stomach turn where the Ridger holds the sled away from their body and flips it so many turns underneath of them for a certain amount of points. Downhill Sled Ridge Running would be composed of one, two and three member teams and would be ran on specially made sleds or Paths for the safety of the team but would basically be the same as a sled that we have all gone down in our childhood. 2.Downhill Tobagan Ridge Running - This sport would be the same as Sled Ridge running but entail the team consisting of five members that ride down a slope on a tobagan and through gates. Only minor jumps would be prohibited for this type of event. This may sound dagnerous but how is it anymore dangerous than louging or downhill skiing? The danger is about the same as motocross or another sport. |
