I don't stop, I just slow down to probably 5-10 MPH. Stand on one running board, let the other one dangle off to the side on the top of the snow for balance, use the gas and your body weight to control speed, direction and the lean angle of the sled. I've tried many other ways of doing donuts and this is the only way that makes it easy for me and comes naturally.
While sitting...From a dead stop or slow you can lean hard to the inside and nail the throttle while steering to the outside and working the handlebars back and forth...when the snow builds up on your chest from basically laying on your side keep working the throttle and steering to go around as many times as you please......
hammer down
never slow down, countersteer hard plant yer a$$ in the snow and open 'er up! going up hill or down.
While standing on the left side with both feet I like starting at about 25 mph then counter steer to the right to get it over. Then I keep pulling making a spiral mark in the snow (smaller and smaller). The faster you start out the more your sled slides sideways making a very wide (8 to 10 foot) path. I find it's a lot easier to do a left turn than a right turn. I try to practice right turns to get better but I still feel better doing left turns. I have had a few guys ride with me and cant get the hang of carving. I just put them on their sled in front of me and go for it. Once they feel how their sled reacts they have no problems learning it.
Hey Poopdragon..The only donuts your good at are the ones you dip in your coffee!!!!!While sitting...From a dead stop or slow you can lean hard to the inside and nail the throttle while steering to the outside and working the handlebars back and forth...when the snow builds up on your chest from basically laying on your side keep working the throttle and steering to go around as many times as you please......

Well it is pretty hard to beat your donuts hotbelt. Yours are made by when you cool your belt off in the snow after each run.........by taking it off and laying it in the snow

My bad I didn't even read the thread. Don't mean to tread on your funny. I am glad someone else finds humor in simple things. LOL

Standing on one side with the rear foot as far back as i can with out pulling something, Stick the other foot out in the snow and crank on that thing. Show the sled whose boss using the foot in the snow to push up if you get too far over and play with the throttle to see whats best. I had to teach this to a buddy last weekend and he just wouldnt rip on the sled it just threw him around.
