MATERIALS
- Bundles of dried banana tree trunks lashed together as a sled
MEASUREMENTS
Traditionally raced down a steep grassy hillside.
HOW TO PLAY
1
Competitors build or receive a sled made from lashed banana trunks shaped to slide quickly.
2
Each racer lies chest-down on their sled at the top of a steep slope.
3
On the signal, racers push off and slide down the hill as fast as possible while keeping balance.
4
Steering is done by shifting body weight, since the sled has no other controls.
5
The racer who reaches the bottom fastest without crashing is declared the winner.
