This reminds me of the video on the You Tube that shows a wild crow sledding on a plastic lid, down a snow-covered roof. At the end of the ride, it picks up the lid, flies to the top of the roof, and rides down again.
The only issue we had with the “Flying Saucer” was the lack of any kind of steering, though I did lose a tooth to a toboggan in the 1960’s, while kneeling in the front to steer over a stone wall. Later, when we got older and were provided machines to enhance our fun, we would tow the saucer behind a snowmobile (yes, they were snowmobiles then, not the snow machines of today) and try to fling the rider off. Lost one buddy, for a bit, inside the snow laden branch’s of a spruce tree. Yes, great fun that added to my growing collection of lifetime achievement awards (various aches, pains and surgically repaired things). Wouldn’t change a moment of it.

I should rent an earth mover and make a hill in my yard.

I think this was adapted into a scene in “I Want a Dog for Christmas.”

He can build another nest. It’s kind of his ‘thing’.

Balduck Hill in Detroit. Great place to sled and toboggan in the 50’s.

I had a metal saucer. It was fast. I waxed it. It was too fast.

When your ears flutter in the wind, it’s another level of fun.
Also redemands me of the lubricated saucer scene in Christmas Vacation. Belly laughs every time.
