The Ultimate Flyer is an elegant, hand-made beauty that glides and turns like no other sled youve ever tried. The entire front section of the sled pivots, letting you make much sharper turns than on a conventional flexible flyer. And, it looks great standing on the porch in between sled runs. The Flyer is made to last for generations: thick birch planks, hand-carved willow hand rails and stainless-steel hardware make it tough, and the sturdy plastic skids on the bottom are designed to last for many years.
When Mountian Boy Sledworks build an Ultimate Flyer, they start with planks of beautiful, golden birch. Then they plane down the planks, sand them, burn in the Mountain Boy brand, and give every piece several coats of marine-grade finish. They attach hand rails of hand-carved willow, giving each sled a unique look and feel. Copper ferrules between the body of the sled and the rails add to the rustic look, while adding substantial strength. Just how strong -- well, some of Mountain Boy's crazier fans take them off 6' jumps and see how much airtime they can get. On the bottom of the sled they attach a pair of proprietary, custom-molded plastic skids. We like to think of them as greased lightning -- they are very fast, but their shape allows for smooth, decisive turning. Contoured runners bite into the snow or ice so you can carve down hard-packed slopes, while a solid bottom of custom-molded slippery plastic lets the sled float through soft snow.
