Sledding pretzel?!?

ok so heres the dealio... i am a proud owner of a mad river rocket. this is a sled that is very similar to knee boarding that is the most fun thing in the winter besides skiing. I am claiming here but im getting quite good and am working on learning 540's of booters and 270's on to rails. I recently learned FS switchups on a rail and other assorted tricks and think it would be epic if i was to do the first ever pretzel on a sled. The only problem is i need a new camera to document it so i would appreciate the vote for the GoPro HD contest (sled pretzel) so all of NS can witness the sledding pretzel!

Please enjoy the following video of the sleds (not me!)

First it's probably fun, but I'm good on that completely.

Second, since when had anybody heard of the spinto band?

^^^ it is in no way a scheme since i clearly am asking for votes because honestly... who doesnt want one? and then if i win, due to all the support, i can post some sick edits including the quests to pretzel on a sled! haha and why not get the news out about sledding while im at it?

alright so nils (ski4life888) is one of my best friends and i just got to get his back on this one. although we may look like midgets, we are by no means short. i'm 6' 4" and hes just over 6.

but yeah, i have at times thought it would be funny to dress up as the lollipop gang and sled some.

this looks so sweet ! it would probably be good practice for people who have never hit the park before, to like learn upper body movements and stuff before trying it all together on skis. +k !

the nose presses were the only thing worth watching really in the first video. the second was incredible, music fit perfectly with it.
