When and where is this thing? I actually have some experience designing and building a dog sled for the Klondike derby (Boy Scout thing). We won best design in the district. I wouldn't mind devoting a couple of Saturdays to work on this.

Long live duct tape!!

This event is held during mid febuary..yea i know im kinda last min. rushing it...sry my fault didnt relize we were actually gonna have people interested. Basically we come up with a design..im thinking a coffin, or maybe, a glass of dirty bong water..lol. Then we have to make a sled out of cardboard and duck tape, and a few other materials, paint it, and then ride it. A few years ago my college team created a rubber ducky. we rolled .....god that hurt. we get judged on design presentation, form on the slope, and whether or not it survives the desent. :twisted:

Oh if u wanna be the driver thats cool but there is no such thing as steering we just point and scream...lol...i am very happy people are interested...but im am worried about the proximity of the regestration date..i hope we havent missed it...i will keep u informed thanx everybody...oh do we wanna decide on a design...coffin?, bong water? im open to anything just not a rubber ducky...it didnt quite make it down the slope..infact i believe it was a death trap.
