Yes,

But I used to use a rubble bag as a sledge for better speed

yeah we call it a sledge. sled is also used though but less frequently.

weak.

The word toboggan seems to unwieldy a word for what it is. Just good ol' simple sledge, just sledging along on its merry sledgey way...

my friend from australia asked me this question the other day, i call it a sled, but that's because several of my bad teeth have been knocked out and corrected my pronunciation

I had one of these modified with skateboard wheels. Used to take it down hills in the summer.

Someone stole it :(

my teeth are so bad i call it a "slee" (pronounced "slay") or on particularly toothrotty days "slede" ("slayduh"). Sledge sounds more like a hammer to me.

I call it a horseless ice-carriage, but whatever

We'll call it whatever the fuck we want! We invented the language! SHIT
