It is winter now, so if you live in a snowy area it will be the time of snowball fights and sledge races. However, when you think that it is impossible to modernize such old entertainment, you are wrong. A snowball fight will always remain the same (we hope there will be no heat-sensing snowball gadgets); the sledge races can be much comfortable now with this type of sledges.Alurunner is a good example of new generation of sledges. It is made of aluminum, which is light and looks very sexy. Apart from that, this sledge features shock absorbers, to make your ride as comfortable as it can be. Hand brake will help if you are going in the wrong direction, and plastic covered sledge runners, when coated with wax, will guarantee you almost no friction between runners and snow to bring the speed to maximum. Light aluminum construction is a plus, but it also limits the max weight of sledge racer to less than 100 kg. This sledge can be easily transported while not in use – a special carry bag is included.
It is interesting to watch, how good become old entertainments that we know from childhood influenced by new technologies. This sledge feels and looks almost like a sports luge, and can deliver rider a true high speed and a lot of fun. It is a pity that, looking at price tag of 640 dollars, manufacturers did not include some electronic equipment in it, such as seat warmer or mp3 player, because we think that 640 dollar price for just a sledge is a bit high. But hey, the less electronics it have, the less are chances to break it when crashed – just try not to break something not electronic, like arm or leg.
