This is Terry Adkins' (our musher's) sled. It's made by Prairie Bilt and was used in the last Iditarod.

This is a basket style dog sled on loan to us from Meg Burden.

A close up look at the connections on Meg's sled.

This braking system by CB sled articulates left and right by a simple yet highly innovative mechanism.

Rear view of our test sled to demonstrate the mechanics of the steering system.
