I think a 4-person tuba quartet bobsled would be optimal.
Put the euphoniums front and back to do the steering and launching.
The tubas do the heavy work anyway... :P

I have a nice recording bell pan am with up right valves. The bell will Give you a nice place to rest your head or your feet depending on how you lay on it and the valves won't stick into your back. (Plastic will not meeting the sled standards)......

It has an almost silver finish for increased speed and few dents for you to grab better. Please send you certificate of sanity before you are allowed to even look at the pictures.

This, i could get into...

Where do you practice? Perform?

And is there a standard repertoire? Can you use sharp turns to effect a doplar glissando?

As a beginner, i'll see how i manage alpen horn tobogganing before i try the hard stuff.
