One wonders, about what was in an inventor's mind, and what might be made of that imagination:

Cool stuff!
The uni-sled is something I would never try, but would certainly enjoy watching others on it.

I'm wondering how the pipe-organ guitar might sound (p. 148).

Re the uni-sled, I had something like it when I was a kid that were called 'Go-Devils' that were manufactured by the Butler Stamping Plant in Butler PA. They're fun, they can turn much faster than a sled by using your feet and shifting your weight, and they're much lighter (I used to bring it along on my newspaper route). Also, they're great for sitting around the bonfire while roasting wienies and marshmallows. Many good memories of kidhood for me, but I never rode it 'no hands', and the scrawny shelf brackets would bend upon landing from the first jump.
