Marines show Afghanistan how rock sledding is done

6/2/2012

When it's high time for fun in Afghanistan, Marines need to improvise. Take this video, where one of our few and proud troops uses sheet metal to bounce and zip down the side of a hill in Kajaki. That's one bumpy ride, but these being Marines, they've seen much worse. And wouldn't you know it, our boy makes it all the way down without falling off? He then gets up and throws a well-deserved fist-pump. We don't know how many tries it took to get the perfect take, but we'll be always faithful to the idea that it was the first one. These are Marines, after all.
