(More customer reviews)I've got both a 42" sled and this longer 60" model. I got the longer one because as an adult the shorter sled is too small for me. And I hate waiting for my turn to come around again. Seriously we had the best snow storm I can remember as a kid and the favorite sled for the hill by my house was the 42" flexible flyer sled.
On the longer sled, it's big enough for 2 adults, or an adult and a dog, or one adult on less packed snow. The reason is that with the longer runners it floats better on the less packed snow. These sleds do not work well in deep unpacked snow. You need to run a toboggan down the hill a few times and pack it then the steel runner sleds come into their own.
Best part about these sleds is that they have great steering control. If you've tried those plastic toboggans you know what the problem is, no control what so ever.
The sled had one minor blemish, in that the hole for the rope to pull it up the hill wasn't completely drilled through. A bit of reaming with a pocket knife fixed it though.
If you are trying to decide which sled to get think mostly about the size of the person pulling it up and down the hill. The smaller the sled the lighter (of course) and the longer the better for larger kids. I'm nearly 200lbs in my full snow gear and while I can make a 42" sled go, I prefer this longer one. The neighborhood kids at less than 100Lbs (8, 10, & 1l yrs old.) used the 42" sled just fine.

Do away with cheap plastic sleds and upgrade to the real thing with the Flexible Flyer 60-inch steel-runner sled. Made from birch wood and powder-coated steel, the sled lets both children and adults cruise down the hill at high speeds. The sled includes a flexible steering bar for control, along with three sets of knees for support. Recommended for ages 5 and older, the sled measures 60 by 5.5 by 20.5 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 14 pounds.
