Think you can’t ski in a tropical country? You’re wrong again. Grass-skiing is the newest sport that has just recent sprung up in Vietnam – a country where conventional skiing and snowboarding is virtually non-existent. With 20,000 VND ($1.50), you are entitled to a grass-sled and a push down from the local employee. The sled speeds up to 40km/hr (25mph) on the slightly steep hill and accomplishes your childhood dream of being a superhero. The Vietnamese locals also claim this game to be an effective stress reliever.
With 60,000 VND ($4.50), you can rent the “skiing gear” for an hour. And for the first-timers, there will be free classes to teach you how to ski and fall properly to avoid injuries. What are you waiting for? Go wild!
Can we build grass angels as well? 🙂
Add grass-boarding and I’m sold!
creative… I wonder how fast this goes? Is it as exhilarating as the picture shows?
Looks fun though!
It goes up to 30km/hr. That is pretty fast considering how close you are to the ground!
