Extreme Sledding in Minnesota
Minnesota is a perfect extreme sledding destination. Our winters might have been created just for the snow sledding madness of this extreme sport.
Most of us also love the traditional snow sledding found in Minnesota.
Attention, thrill seekers: if you think sledding downhill on a flying saucer is a thrill, there are sleds that add a whole new experience to winter sports. Maneuverable adventure sleds help you feel like you've become Superman (or Superwoman). Flipping, dipping and darting between trees, up embankments and down snow covered sliding hills, has turned the thrill of childhood sledding into a sport that can send an adults hearts' racing.
Adventure sledding is one of the latest trends in Minnesota outdoor winter activities. The sport started with a few dare devils who took sledding to a new level with tricks, flips, and long treks up steep and long hills just for the thrill of a crazy ride down. The carving and tight turns required to do this are more than you would achieve on a snowboard. As you can imagine, a regular sled doesn’t cut it when hitting the hills.
Here's a video to show just what extreme sledders can do:
