Wiki project Proposal.

For my assignment i am going to be talking about a common recreation amongst bored suburban teenagers. It goes by many different names, but I will call it tarp sledding.

Basically you get a giant tarp and fold it a few times to make roughly a 6x6ft square. You then get a vehicle with 4wheel drive. You take rope and tie the tarp to the tow hitch of the vehicle, leaving roughly 15feet between the tarp and vehicle for safety reasons.

You need a large grass field, preferably wet after it rains. One or more kids get on the tarp and grab hold, while the rest of the spectators pile into the vehicle, cars like explorers or blazers work the best because you can open the rear hatch to cheer on your friends! The object is for the driver to get the kids to fall off the tarp.

It is dangerous unless you know what you are doing, but it is a ton of fun, sort of like water tubing with no lake.
