Once upon a time there was a great sledding hill by my house. It was awesome. Sometimes there were sweet jumps, which I would on occasion take for some sick air.
I had a GT Snow Racer as my sled of choice, which is good for sweet tricks. I decided I would try to pull off a Superman, which involves, midair, holding onto the front and letting your legs stay out behind you like you are flying.
Man, I loved sledding off ramps as a kid and teenager. I remember one year someone put a couple bales of straw on the hillside and packed snow over it. You could make it ten feet before hitting the ground.
The worst was the sled drifting to the side midair and coming down right on the edge. Blood and ashes that hurt. When I was older and smarter I ended all ramp jumps the same way, grabbing the sled with one hand and landing on my feet.
Thanks for bringing back memories And awesome comic, as always.
I went sledding just a few years ago on a date. Fantastic fun, but much different as a 220lb adult (plus date). It was a popular hill so the "snow" was all compacted. End result; uncontrollable speed, face full of snow, date laughing hysterically. Good times had by all.
And sometimes when I landed those jumps, my butt took a beating reminiscent of when Ralphie told his mother that he learned how to curse from Schwartz. (Is it too late to bring back A Christmas Story references?)
What you're supposed to do is use a spray-bottle to mist over the surface of the ramp and turn it to ice overnight. This trick also works for snow forts, and punishing that jerk who tries to kick in your walls.
I tried this once. I jumped a bit and the sled crashed down into sticky snow. The sled had a brake handle, though. Right between my legs. Momentum did the rest. Tis was the most painful experience that i had so far in my life.
I have managed to sled off a ramp. My sister was fine, though, just a couple of tracks across her.
Awww! Little bugs are so cute! And hilarious. (:
P.S. First panel typo?: "Sledding OFF a ramp."
Oop! Good catch! I just fixed it. Thanks.
I hate to be that guy, but in panel 1, didn't you mean ''sledding off a ramp'' instead of ''of a ramp''?
Also, panel 3 rocked.
I love the hat ^^
kid-bugs are my favorite characters (along with the nazi-pedophile ghidrah)! I love how sarcasm fits the kids, reminds me of my nephews.

Sled meet ground, chest meet steering wheel. Ouch.
Wow… Doctors and nurses has really changed since I was little…

The Little Bugs are so adorable. Does this mean Bug comes in all size and shapes too?

Haha, my sister totally did the 3rd panel, well, sans the witty comments.
If you ask me, the last panel would constitute a "thrill of victory"!
" Dominatrix who forgot the safe word" ….FTW!!!!
WHISKEY! WHISKEY!
Ramps always see like a good idea, but never turn out to be as good as you imagine!
last panel is conjuring up scenes involving a round metal sled from Christmas Vacation for me…
My old sledding hill had a rock in the middle, worked really well as a ramp. I never had the nerve tho. always swerved a little to the right. blast!
I rode my bike down a hill once that my friend built a snow ramp on. Absolutely destroyed the ramp… broke my bike on the landing.

I hate those weak ramps. I get so eager then whoop! I crash 'em.
luv the third panel
Once I tied my dog’s leash to my sled… and went over a (5 foot) cliff.
The 4th panel sounds like fun.
