Any idea why the guy isn't riding the sled?

If it’s anything like what we did, it’s to allow the sled to get up to a decent speed before hopping on. If you are in the sled, it’ll be sunk further into the snow, and the dogs have a much much harder time getting going.
Instead, you run along with them, encourage them to get moving, then when the sled catches up to you, you hop on.
We had a “sled team” when I was young, and this was how we always did it in winter. (really, we had rescue huskies and trained them to pull for exercise, because they had a lot of energy). The summer bike rig was much easier to get them going on.
Fascinating, thanks!
Wander the gallery. Look at the art. Be polite. If you feel able please post some great art :)
