Mountain Boy Sledworks Ultimate Flyer 52-Inch Sled

Mountain Boy Sledworks Ultimate Flyer 52-Inch Sled is Handmade wooden sled with pivot-front design for slalom turns, 180-degree turns, and hockey stops.

Outside magazine called it a “steerable snow rocket.” The New York Times dubbed it “an instant heirloom.” Designed by a Colorado sledmaker, crafted entirely by hand, the Ultimate Flyer is an incredible sled. The whole front section pivots, so it turns far more sharply than a conventional flexible flyer. The bottom is molded plastic, not metal runners, so it floats through powder and bites through hard-packed snow or ice. The body and handle are kiln-dried birch, the handrails are willow, and the finish is marine-grade. Meets all USC and ASTM child-safety requirements. The Ultimate Flyer 52″ Sled measures 52″L x 23″W x 4″ H, 14 lbs. Holds up to 300 pounds.

This sled is a rocket! I purchased three of these sleds over time – two 52″ and one 47″ – on ebay from $39, $42 and $64 and they have been well worth the expense. I am 5’9″ and the 47″ is fine but I do like having a few extra inches of sled to ride on. Assembly of all three was a nonevent. The holes in the handle were a bit off but this worked to my advantage. If you tighten each nut just slightly then continue tightening them a little at a time, they go in snug but snug means there are not likely to come lose. A little Rem Oil will help if the fit is too snug. I cleaned and waxed the bottom of the sleds with two coats of Collinite Fleet Wax – a super hard boat paste wax – and headed to our hill. As stated, this sled is a rocket and was easily the fastest sled on he hill and went the farthest – it flew – really fast. I could easily turn and navigate to find the fastest line down – the steering is great! I would like to get a Classic too but after riding the Ultimate, I can see the Classic being faster in icing conditions only. I highly recommend wearing goggles and a helmet. Shop around and get a good deal – I am glad I took my time and waited for three great deals.
