More Data and theories needed for the

[SlipperySlider]

Dear Toboggan Times,

I think we need more Data and certainly more Toboggan Theories upon which to ponder.

For example:

• Is it better to have the weight in the front or the back? 
• Is it better for the team to throw themselves forward at the start (the Dynamic Start) or just sit there ( the Passive Start) hoping not to "rock the boat"?
  
• Is it better to wax or to wane?
  
• Do competitors who have partaken of the Chili tasting go faster on Sundays than Saturdays?
  
• Should competitors intentionally roll their toboggans at the finish to protect their bottoms?
  
• Are unprotected bottoms a problem?
  

No other national sport is so lacking in basic information.  We need more input from other inquisitive minds.

Have trouble thinking about anything else BUT tobogganing?  

Join the new help group "TOBOGANON".  We meet once a year at the Camden Snow Bowl.  BYOB
