Description

another round of snow, and another round of ghettosledding in Humboldt Park.

improvised sleds are highly encouraged...rubbermaid bins, cookie sheets, home made snowboards/skis, whatever your heart desires or mind can come up with. we have a few cheepo sleds kickin around that work just fine as well.

We've had garbage bag wrapped cardboard. It worked. Just not durable. You would want a heavy mil contractors bag. And the snow needs to be just right, which I think it will be by then.
Any Pam you got kickin around...bring it!!!

Critical Mass Friday, ghettosledding Saturday! I will bring either cookies or a boozy hot drink. And this weird yoga mat-type sled thing...

Also, I was told last night that a garbage bag that one climbs into and lubes up with cooking spray makes for a fantastic downhill transportation device. Has this been attempted recently? Surely?

I am in Lincoln square and considering going, It was a lot of fun last night. Just not sure if I want to do this, or try the critical mass ride.

the temps should remain below freezing through the weekend. and by then, the hood kids will have packed down the snow real nice making perfect conditions for ghettosleds

Anyone interested in biking down from Lincoln Square?

all this snow had better not melt before we get out there...

In L. A. and missing this great chance to sled in after a great snow fall. Darn!
