Fun For Under $50? That’s Easy Sledding (NAPSA)—In sledding, the shortest distance between the top and bottom of a hill may be a straight line, but it’s not necessarily the most exciting. Now there’s a sled that takes this favorite wintertime activity to a new level of extreme fun—something that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Instead of plunging headfirst down a snow-covered hill on a traditional sled, imagine driving down on a “snow racer.” These downhill snow racers are new to the U.S. but have been causing frenzies already in Europe and Canada. In Canada, sliding down snow-covered hills is known as “GT-ing” rather than sledding. And just in time for the first snowfall, the GT experience is coming to America. The Outburst GT Sno Racer from Murray is a youth-sized sled that allows children from the ages of 5-14 to enjoy the thrill and excitement of sledding in a way they have never experienced before. Steering their very own sled down a snowyslope will make any child who climbs aboard never want to get off. For active children, the sled offers hours of fun out on the snow. Luckily, adults aren’t left out of the fun. The GT Pro Racer is an adult-sized sled that is made for people from ages 9 and up. This sled allows everyone in the family to be involved in extreme sports and winter weather adventures. This winter, outdoor enthusiasts can participate in a new kind of “extreme sledding.” These sleds are a great idea for people who are winter sport participants or interested in X Sports. This larger-scale model sled has increased width for extra stability. The GT Sno Racersconsist of a steel frame and high-impact plastic parts and require no mainte- nance. Thereis a full steering system and foot controls, with an added safety feature of the builtin patented steering spring. This feature allows the sled to slow downif the rider falls off, which provides more safety for the rider, the product and bystanders. The Outburst GT Sno Racer sells for $49.99, while the Pro Raceris available for $89.99. In the U.S., the sleds are sold exclusively online at www.murray.com.
