Hoodin- redneck term for pulling a car hood behind an atv. It is best to use an old one off of a wrecked vehicle. Thanks to "Captain" we have been doing a bunch of this the last couple of weeks

I'll see your hoodin and raise you.....well.....hoodin. Ignore the fact that I was all amped up on coffee at the time . Oh, and for the record waxing that thing makes a big difference

I sure thought that you were going to go down the hill standing. I was anticipating a face-plant after you got over half way down the hill.

I would have gone down on my feet, but my hockey helmet had been in the car all night so it was a little too snug to work right. There's always next winter

I thought the whole point of hooding was so that you where pulled behind a vehicle...

you where just sledding.

We did that too Just no video. The next snow we get, anyone have a go pro they want to lend to a hooding video experiment?

Put "gunpowder and sledding" on the DONT list!

INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- A 62-year-old sledder looking for a burst of power got it when the homemade rocket strapped to his back exploded, burning him over nearly 20 percent of his body. Oakland County Undersheriff Mike McCabe said the man, whose identity hasn't been released, was hospitalized in stable condition Monday.
The man was hosting a Sunday night sledding party when he filled an automobile muffler with gasoline and gunpowder, strapped it to his back and had it lit, seeking what McCabe called "a rocket-launch effect."
The device blew up as the man headed downhill, causing second-degree burns to his face and right side of his body and possible eye damage.
No charges have been filed against the man, whom McCabe said is known for doing "outrageous things" at his sledding parties
