Sports reviews of Mountain Boy Sledworks Ultimate Flyer 52-Inch Sled
Customer Review: Worked well for us, fast and fun
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I ordered this and the slalom sled from mountain boy (via amazon). I also picked up the sled pad for the ultimate flyer (which I recommend). We took them out today for the first time. Hill we went on is good sized and well used. Temps were in the mid 20's. Had the old plastic saucer with as well as one of the newer type foam sled which sell for about 30 bucks. The ultimate flyer worked great (I am 6'3" 215) for me, although I am a little top heavy and sitting on it got a little tipsy at speed, on my stomach worked great. The kids like it, mine are a little young to steer it but it worked well and two could go at once. I cannot even fit on the smaller sleds so this was great and more controllable then a tobagan.
It seemed to hold up well and to be a bit better built then the slalom sled. The slalom was great on the hard packed snow and may have been a bit better then the fyer, but the center pivot started to loosen right away and the front wood chipped on run number two so it got retired to the car and I will maybe have to lock-tite the center screw before the next outing. Flyer looks nicer with the side rails and I am happy with it. I don't see why it won't last for some time but if I can get a few years of good use from it that would be great. These are not "heirloom" pieces and if you buy them expecting that for 80-100 you will be disappointed. They do look good though, work well, and compared to some of the plastic junk out there in the 30-50 dollar range, probably worth the little extra especially if you are an adult or want to put two kids on the sled. So the ultimate flyer I am giving a 5 star rating. The slalom I know is fixable but when I review that one I am knocking a point off for the early retirement from the hill today.
Description of Mountain Boy Sledworks Ultimate Flyer 52-Inch Sled
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.At 52 inches long, this sled is 5 inches longer and 4 pounds heavier than Mountain Boy Sledworks' Original Ultimate Flyer but otherwise identical. It's built to last for generations and features a pivoting front section that allows slalom turns, 180-degree turns, and hockey stops.

The sled's custom-molded bottom of high-quality slippery black plastic glides along with ease, while its wide stance keeps it stable. The sturdy bottom has a wide, flat center to float on soft snow and raised rails on the edges to track precisely on hardpack. Screws are stainless steel for durability. 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 4 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.
