ABSTRACT:
A highly manoeuvrable toboggan (50) comprises a pair of ski members (60) connected only by a flexible and resilient plastic seat (70). The seat (70) is sufficiently flexible to enable the ski members (60) to be moved independently, relative to one another. In use, a rider sits on the seat (70) and is able to manoeuvre the toboggan (50) by application of force to the ski members (60) using his legs and hands and/or by shifting his weight on the seat (70). Manoeuvres similar to those executed in downhill skiing may be performed.
