ABSTRACT:
A bobsled having a load supporting forward steerable member hingably connected to a load supporting trailing member is disclosed wherein the trailing member is spaced behind the forward member. The hinge connected members are adapted to turn and tilt relative to one another for changing the direction of movement of the sled and for folding the members upon one another for ease of handling, transportion and storage. Hand grips located on a front end portion of the forward member permit a rider lying prone on the sled to turn or tilt the same while in motion to alter the direction of motion of the sled or brake the forward momentum thereof. The members each contain a pair of runners having lower surfaces tapered away from a weight-bearing surface of the members as the runners extend from the front to the back of each member. Elongated, flat, rectangular reinforcing strips formed of durable material such as metal are attached to rear portions of the lengths of the sled runners.
