ONCOMING SLEDS: The left arm is raised at shoulder height with the elbow bent, the forearm vertical and the wrist bent. The arm should move from left to right over the head, pointing to the right of the trail.  
 
 

LEFT TURN: The left arm is extended straight out from the shoulder, pointed in the direction of the turn.

SLEDS FOLLOWING: The arm is raised with the elbow bent and the thumb pointing backward. The arm should move in a "hitch-hiking" motion from the front to the back, over the shoulder.
