Reviews"In Dutch, it's 'slee.' In Spanish, it's 'trineo.' In Italian, it's 'slitta." In English, it's 'sled.' And you can learn pretty much all there is to know about them in The Sled Book...This book offers just what you need before-and after-you go slidin' away."
Dewey Decimal796.9/5
SynopsisA successful sledmaker takes readers through a brief history of sleds and sledding, and taps into the emotional pull that many of us feel when we see those first frosty snowflakes-and a classic wood-and-metal flyer. From the use of sleds in the Olympic Games and the proper technique for kick sledding to choosing a good hill and making the perfect apres-ski cocoa, this book is sure to charm readers of all ages., Hoskin, owner of Mountain Boy Sled Works in Colorado, takes a nostalgic look back to the good ol days of sledding. Anyone who has ever ridden a sled as a child will appreciate this trip down memory lane.
