Slippery RacerHeavy Duty Commercial Snow Tube, Hard Bottom, Cushion Insert, Canvass Cover-42”

Great Item, Ran all day on older slushy snow, which exposed underside to lots of branches and sticks which would have spelled doom for any other inflatable sled. Super fast as well, Smaller loads like Kids under 50 lbs. are like rockets on this one, recommend helmets.I ran tandem with my 12 year old daughter, 300 lbs on sled, had no problem.What you need to know.....The valves on the inner tubes are standard Schrader valves, but to ship them in the packaging they came in, the cores to the valves were pulled out to vent them prior to shipment, and not put back in tight, so they need to be tightened, Also, a little grease or lube on the o-ring to the core is also good practice, Vaseline in a pinch. I advise buying a tire valve core tool if you are going to be inflating and deflating them often. (tool is like $4) at any tire place, and amazon has a lengthy list of 30 different types that range in price from $3 to $20. ($4 is all that is needed) Instead of holding the valve open with the ball point pen, you just remove the core to deflate, Takes most of work out of it.These Inner-tubes take a lot to inflate, Air compressor a must. Note that bike pumps are A LOT of work to inflate these. - I had a compressor, :-)The inner tubes are a descent grade, but are reinforced rubber, Super strong, but the tubes smell like a tire shop. Heavy rubber scent that can be hard to deal with if these are in an enclosed car. I had no issue with it, but my Wife and Mother-in Law had multiple thoughts about it and did not hesitate to offer their opinion. If hauling around, a pickup is advised or outside the car. For storage, recommend deflating tubes, Pulling out of bottom and the woopie cushion center inner tube, and putting into a trash bag and close it up to contain scent to keep storage area less smelly.Handle with tether is great for pulling empty sled, not advised to pull with people on it. Put cooler on sled and pulled that, and the 20 lb cooler was about the limit of the tagline if you want that to last.Sled will do great on new snow to icy and slushy conditions. On prepared runs, I can see other sleds with less surface area being a little faster, but in general this one is a great compromise on differing conditions. On another trip we went off on our own, we forged our own run in 2 day old powder, first pass, went about 30 yards, 2nd pass about 3-4 yards further, each additional run kept increasing length, etc, until we had a nice run about 75 yards long terminating in a flat area. Grade was only about 4 maybe 5%, if that, but made for tons of fun.For best performance, try to lay flat across the tube and distribute your weight across the sled evenly, and then lay still. If you are not balanced, then the sled would have slightly more drag, to one side and slow you down just a hair, (note we had 2 sleds and races were pretty competitive)

What a great tube! We got this to pull behind the atv and it works awesome!! Kids love it and stands up to the road really good!. Had a small problem w the handle and after w talked to customer service, they sent us a replacement at no cost. We took it to the sledding hill and our kids go about 25 ft further then any of the other tracks! Sure to impress.

These things fly down the hill nest snow tubes we’ve ever used, and the hard bottom protects them from damage. Awesome fun

Met our exceptions this past weekend when we went tubing at a local State Park in the Cascade Mountains. This is no commercial tube, but much better than the cheap ones you find at Sports Authority. I would consider this a "prosumer grade" tube. Not as fast as a commercial tube, but was still very fun and durable. My wife and 2.5 year old daughter went down together with no problems. The tube maintained air pressure and the hard plastic bottom protected the tube from any sharp objects hiding under the snow.The only unpleasant thing about this tube was the smell. Had I known how potent the odor was, I would have taken it out of the box and let it sit for a week before putting it in the back of the car. Unfortunately, this did not occur to me and the smell pretty much gave me a headache the whole drive to the park. So, PLEASE let this thing air out before putting it in your vehicle!

We purchased four of these for Christmas. Three out of four of the inner tubes don't hold air. Two have slow leaks, and one won't hold air at all. The seams are faulty...little pinpoint leaks everywhere. This has proven to be a very disappointing "investment".

I love the canvas/bottom plastic casing. Very well made and durable outer however the tubes that come with this are garbage. Made over seas and cannot handle light use. Have bought two slippery racers, one large tube would not hold air on first fill and one of the small tubes had a faulty stem and would not hold air. The second large tube began rotting the second season of light use (see photos). Always stored inside and was maybe used a total of 20 outings averaging a half hour of use. For the price of the slippery racer better tubes should be provided. I give the outer cover a 5 star rating and give the tire tubes a zero rating averaging 3 overall. Would love to give a 5 star overall but the inner tubes are not durable and cold hardy like they advertise.

The media could not be loaded.  I’m not going to bad-mouth Bradley since I decided against their brand. They seem like a reputable tube but they don’t recommend towing and they have a canvas bottom.I went with the Slippery Racer and have pulled my 8 year old twin girls behind the ATV in the snow. WOW! Great fun! So far these have held up with no signs of tearing in spite of pulling adults as well. I liked this product so well that I bought a second one.

Wow this thing is incredible. appears to be extremely well made. the inner tube (does need to be inflated) is protected by an extremely think hard plastic bottom and the superior build quality of the nylon cover and handles makes me feel like this thing is not going to fall apart after a trip or two down the hill. Also, it come with an insert that sits in the middle to help support smaller people or to just help cushion the ride. If i didn't know that it was for snow i would think that i could tie this up behind a boat for some serious tubing action. definitely recommend this for some serious sledding action.

I’ve tried it over two days so far and the 5 stars conclusion was known at the very slide. The feeling of this tube is great. We would go much further than anyone else with other type of sleigh. Also because it is full of air it bounces and offer cushion if you hit a bump.My 7yr old son tried it alone and loved It. I tried it myself at 200 pounds and it was also amazing and the we tried it both together so around 250 ponds and it was perfect. People kept asking me about it all day but most were surprised and scared by the price. Yes it is expensive but boy it is fun! And it will probably last much longer than any plastic sleigh so a better investment.The handle to pull it is very nice. Easy to pull. However for a young kid it might be a little heavy to pull. My son could pull it but as soon as it was getting steep it was too heavy for him so I had to pull it up. No issue for an adult. I would guess that at 10 Years and older pulling it won’t be a problem.The construction is very solid. The bottom is a hard shell. The tube looks like a super strong one. The covering is also of high quality. There are actually 2 tubes. There is also a small one that go in the middle of the tube so you can sit on it and make the whole ride very comfortable.The 2 slight negative I found. It came with no instructions. Not that it is really needed but I first wonder how far to inflate the tube. Finally it is very easy juste keep inflating until the fabric of the tube is fully expanded. You start with the big tube and then insert the small tube and do that one. At first the air was leaking slowly via the valves because they had not been closed properly at the manufacture. That was disappointing but was fixed very easily but purchasing a tool to close the valve (4$) at a nearby tire shop.Despite this last point, this tube is easily 5 stars overall. We are having a lot of fun with it and the quality is high so that it will last many winters.

Seems to be built OK. It’s actually smaller than the description states. The tube only measures 38” when the description clearly states 42”. I tried to send it back, but shipping was too expensive, it was cheaper to keep it for now. Wouldn’t buy another one that’s for sure

Tube pour glisser. Livrer en retard . Pas de la bonne couleur , j’avais demandé la couleur armée gris et blanc , j’ai reçu couleur vert et brun.Mais glisse bien !

The valve to inflate is defective. Won't inflate. Can't use, sent back.

Good quality, love the cushion in the bottom for extra padding.
