Any idea why the guy isn't riding the sled?

If it’s anything like what we did, it’s to allow the sled to get up to a decent speed before hopping on. If you are in the sled, it’ll be sunk further into the snow, and the dogs have a much much harder time getting going.

Instead, you run along with them, encourage them to get moving, then when the sled catches up to you, you hop on.

We had a “sled team” when I was young, and this was how we always did it in winter. (really, we had rescue huskies and trained them to pull for exercise, because they had a lot of energy). The summer bike rig was much easier to get them going on.
