Hi Ed... just read about your experiences with a kicksled as we call them up here in Fort Mcmurray Canada. My wife and I have so far brought 5 of them into our community for use by people with cerebral palsy / mobility handicaps. There is absolutely nothing available to eable the handicapped person to get out and enjoy the winter months. The Spark, equipped with an insert from the Tumbleform company, has allowed people to get out and enjoy the outdoors rather than just sitting in a window watching the rest of us enjoy the snow. They are quite the novelty and cause a lot of head turning... lots of fun indeed. Glad to read your story. There is a very old WWII movie that shows one and I didn't ever notice it until we had our first one. I think it is " The Damm Busters" but not really sure. Anyway, just thought I would sahre this with you. Phil Mackay
