Best classic Runner sled made period!!
By MBA grad
This is the best classic runner sled I have ever used. I tried 4 different brands before selecting this one. The fit and finish are exceptional and the bottom steel runners are extra thick and just seems much more stout than the other brands - although I have never seen one break I would think this one can take much more abuse. As far as speed this along with all runners are super fast given the right snow conditions. The steering mechanism on the front is a "pivoting head" and it seemed to grip better and turn easier in hard pack. Overall this is the best runner sled I have used. I would also look at the mountainboy Ultimate which is of similar excellent craftsmanship but has a unique plastic bottom runners - hard to describe but take a look at the pictures. That sled worked really well in a wider range of conditions - especially the deeper powder. I can not attest to how the plastic would hold up long term although it seemed sturdy; so for me the classic runner was the choice.

By James G. Henderson
I own both this and the Mountain Boy Sledworks Ultimate Flyer. Both have nearly identical woodwork. This has the metal runners and the Ultimate Flyer has plastic sleds underneath. They are both beautiful and are both the fastest, most controllable sleds on the hills!This is faster on pure ice, and is more controllable overall than the Ultimate Flyer because the metal runners dig in more.The ultimate flyer is faster in most conditions, except for pure ice.Either sled is a work of art and are well worth their price!

Very Nice Sled - Good Deal at Amazon
By T. Frain
Order from Amazon because of a big snow storm coming, which is rare in my area. Two day shipping with prime. Was here before snow hit. Opened the sled up after we actually got the snow on the ground. Was quick to assemble with 3 Stainless Screws to screw on the steering bar. They even give you a wood handle screwdriver, which I think is a nice touch! The sled looks fantastic. It really does look handmade; like something you would make in your own garage if you were so inclined. Tried it out and it is a really nice handling sled, in my opinion. I did not one issue with it. My sled, where the front of the runners are attached to a metal bracket right under the pivoting head, the right side is sitting about 1/2 inch away and the left is closer. So if you are holding the sled where the "foot end" is on the ground and the steering bar is up by your chest and you look down the bottom length of the sled, the right side sits further away than the left, AND that runner is a little crooked where it screws onto the bracket. In addition, this front end of the right runner appears to have some welding slag or something on it. There is a sharp hung of metal on the runner that would REALLY cut you if it were to run over a foot or hand. This metal is powdercoated over as well. I may call MountainBoy and send them a picture and see what they think. If this were another brand of sled, I might just ignore it, but I'll give the manufacturer a chance to let me know if it is right or not, and if not, give them the opportunity to fix it. I gave it 4 stars instead of five because of this defect. The finish on the sled is really, really excellent, however. The willow handles are a really nice touch, as expected. It gives the sled real character.Now, I sorta wish that I had gotten the Ultimate Flyer...I was debating back and forth, but decided on the classic because I want it to last and I read some about the plastic cracking on the Ultimate models, and just didn't want to mess with that. This model is better than the flexible flyers that ONE lucky kid would have on my street when it snowed when I was little, so I really wanted to get that classic metal runner type sled that would last. Maybe next year I'll get an Ultimate Flyer if it snows again. For the Amazon price on this metal runner sled, you really can't go wrong, especially considering a regular flexible flyer (non MountainBoy version) is $75 on here and $99 in a hardware store!! The original price of the MountainBoy Classic is actually HIGHER than the price of the Ultimate, and the fact that it is like half price on Amazon just screams "THIS IS A DEAL" - so I say, get this classic flyer if you want the metal runner type sled that you never seemed to be able to talk your parents into buying when you were a kid!
