That's proof that we were flexible in our youth.

When I lived on the farm, dad built a sled out of pressure treated 2X8s and fashioned aluminum aluminum skid covers on the skids. It was primarily for hooking the horse up to it and drag in the firewood. Well, one day my then 13 year old brother and I decided to hook it up to the Jeep and go tearing across the freshly plowed field with it, taking turns dragging each other through the mud and the muck.

Thinking back now, I remember being thrown off it more times than I can count, and am amazed that neither of us suffered anything more than a mouthful of mud. We sure did have a blast doing it, though.
