What sort of things could you do to improve a sled with technology?
Of course the two most obvious things are adding a clock and making it USB powered.
If we’re talking about the sort of sled that resembles the lid of a trash can, you could make it spit to improve the stability. The trick with that would be keeping the passenger from spinning. Perhaps a second layer could be added that counter-rotates in order to keep the rider stationary. I’ll bet if you made it so that fins could pop out of the bottom, you could make huge jumps by creating lift. Extreme sledding anybody?
As far as toboggans go (the long sleds with the runners), hydraulics could be installed to make it hop like a low rider (imaging cruising down the neighborhood hills, getting all the chicks).
Brakes maybe? There’s a thought.
How about bobsleds? Aside from olympic competition which would no doubt ban them, jet engines could be fun.
Hell, just stick an iPod dock in it. It’ll sell.
