This Zipfy Sledding video I made makes me laugh every time I watch it. John, our friend, was the first to go, Trevor, my 23 yr old son, was the 2nd to go and then I went down, with the Go Pro Camera strapped on me. After we made it down the first little hill, it went flat for about 50 feet, so I had to scoot using my legs, to get my speed up again.
About half way thru the video, if you watch carefully you'll see a patch of black pavement in my path, but since the Zipfy's are easy to steer, I just went around it. John didn't have gloves on and was freezing after a few minutes, so it was easy to pass him. Then the pursuit was on to catch up and pass Trevor but we are both very competitive and I know he wasn't about to let his mother finish first.
At one point I did pass him but then we were neck and neck, so I stuck my arm out, trying to keep him from passing me. Then we both crashed which by the way didn't hurt - except my ego, since he took off running and jumped on the Zipfy. If you watch carefully I am not quite as agile as he is. I had to stop and get on the Zipfy again before picking up speed.
I'm jealous of Trevor and everyone else who can run and jump on a Zipfy. Nevertheless, this ride is so much fun going over bridges and streams, around curves, passing snowshoers, dogs and children being pulled on a sled.
I have 3 favorite winter sports which keeps me outdoors a LOT during the winter months: Snowshoeing, Skiing and Zipfy Riding! All 3 are SUPER fun to do. I have my favorite 5 - 10 minute sledding runs that I just can't get enough of! It's so much fun!! Buy your Zipfy's from me ($40/each) and join us! I've seen 4 year old's on up to 70+ year old's on Zipfys - all the same size - having fun. I think it's the safest and most exhilarating sledding device on the market today!
