Sports reviews of Mountain Boy Sledworks Royal Flyer
Customer Review: One of the biggest disappointments I've ordered here!
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
Heirloom quality sled? Keep looking. I ordered this for my son believing it could be used for generations. When you first take it out of the box it is breathtaking. Like looking at those old wood boats! Wow! However expectations drop fast from that point on. I found rust yes you read that right, rust in the back end right side of the runner where it is welded. I was immediately disappointed but figured hey it'll rust out in the snow anyway. Perhaps because it's recycled materials. (You can see I really wanted to love this sled.) Well looking at the nose, the wood had a hairline split. Still could be overlooked but years of use could cause that split to be serious later. (Now I'm thinking I need to exchange this sled for another.) This wasn't living up to its name as an heirloom quality sled. Well looking at the right front runner, there was some leftover welding material on the runner. It was obvious someone noticed this after the coating was on because some of it was peeled away and left deep grooves in the runner as well as slivers of metal sticking out of it, through the black! An obvious cutting hazard for children and adults alike. I don't believe the National Parenting Center would give its seal of approval if this sled was inspected. All these issues combined for the high price makes this unacceptable. 20 minutes after opening it I was printing out the return label. I'll be ordering the Mountain Boy Classic Flyer for $129. Another runner type sled made overseas unfortunately, but I really can't justify the high cost for the Royal Flyer with the poor quality I've inspected. Hopefully it works out better otherwise, Mountain Boy has lost this snow enthusiast forever!
Description of Mountain Boy Sledworks Royal Flyer
For many people, this is the perfect sled - a metal runner sled, built by hand by a Colorado sledmaker. The sled is ideal on a wall, and even better on a good steep hill. Tiger maple planks, joined with solid tongue-and-groove joints, form the body of the sled. Stainless steel hardware is used throughout, and the powder-coated metal runners have extra-strong "knees" (the bent-metal parts that connect the runners to the sled). The patent-pending double-pivot design gives fabulous turning power, even on slick ice. Hand-made in limited quantities; each is signed and numbered by the sledmaker. Meets all USC and ASTM child safety requirements; marine-grade finish. Holds up to 300 pounds.Built to last for generations and featuring a pivoting front section that allows slalom turns, 180-degree turns, and hockey stops, this heirloom-style hand-crafted sled is made of elegant, highly figured maple. Each sled is signed and numbered by the sledmaker. For strength and long-life, runners are extra-thick powder-coated steel, as are the "knees"--bent parts connecting runners to top. Bolts are stainless steel for durability. Three coats of marine-grade finish protect the wood against elements. Suitable for a child aged 3 years and up and sturdy enough to support 300 pounds, the sled measures 52 inches long x 24 inches wide x 5 inches high and weighs 16 pounds. It meets all USC and ASTM child-safety standards and carries a 1-year warranty against defects. Assembly (instructions included) is easy.
A 1-inch-thick pad with water-resistant nylon cover that fits the sled is sold separately.
