well i am lucky to have an engineer as a boyfriend. well most of the time i am not sure that its such a good thing LOL. it sure comes in handy with building projects. He is building a steering sled that i am excited to get a chance to drive. It is almost finished, just needs the basket and the finishing touches.
The steering system works through a bracket system which is simple and reliable. The bracket system is supported by cable steering. The basket length will be able to be changed. The attachement points of the stanctions to the runners will be able to be shifted between 2 different positions. This will allow the sled to function as a sprint sled as well as a mid distance sled.
I am really excited about this feature because when i am running with no weight in the sled eg like a sprint i will be able to be further along the runners, closer the middle, the optimal position for my weight to be. When i have a load, such as gear needed for a distace run i will able to have a longer basket to fit everything in and still be in a comfortable driving position.
if you would like to learn more about this sled design you can email me at bestsurfiechick@hotmail.com
