Looks like fun, but you need a steeper hill.

Tsk tsk tsk - no helmet! 
Good air time though. Looks like the landing gear was soft!

Way to go Gary!
I'm only 35, and I stopped sledding 15 years ago.
On my final sledding day, after only one trip down the hill, I quit sledding forever.
It was late at night, and I asked my friends if there were any ramps or anything. "No, no, no... you'll be fine" they said.
I must have been 15 feet above the ground at the apex...after I hit the ramp. I had (at very least) 3 full seconds of hang-time (arms and legs flailing wildly) before I hit the rock hard icy ground.
My friends couldn't inhale they were laughing so hard. I shuffled home, climbed into bed, and cried myself to sleep. I couldn't walk for a few days, and missed almost a week of classes.
I will never sled again. I only wish there was video of my glorious last run.
