The sled to beat all sleds



2010-01-29 - PJs Cycle. - Photo by Melissa Carter. "John Carter, right and Thomas Long decided to manufacture a sled in anticipation of the first significant snowfall that our area has experienced in many years. Skeptically, Don Neat, center, watched as they made their final modifications to the unit," writes Melissa Carter. "The project began with an idea and a 220 Kawasaki Bayou fourwheeler frame. The builders took the stripped frame and welded it onto a car hood. Equipped with handlebars, footpegs, and a factory seat, the unit is definitely one of a kind. By pulling back on the handlebars, the idea is that the front of the sled will raise thus causing it to pick up speed on the snow," she wrote. "Now they anxiously wait like two kids on Christmas Eve for the snow to accumulate so they can put their sled to the test." A footnote. Like three kids. Don Neat vows to be the first one to test the invention.
