Only thing was, there was a river at the end of the hill and you had to either jump of the speeding bike and risk injury or stay on and risk drowning when you went in...🤣🤣
I survived both.
The park by us was fantastic for sledging on, it was half a mile from to to bottom and had a very steep slope with a gravel path that ran across it horizontally a quarter of the way down, when you hit it you took off for a few feet.

This area was also lined with trees and I've seen people take off, lose control and hit the trees, broken bones were a regular occurrence.

At the end of the run was a deep drop into a stream so you either had to bail out or try to steer into the gap over the stream that lead to the park gates.

All high adrenaline stuff but the walk back up to the top was a killer.
