Santa Retires Rudolph

2008-12-09T08:24:00.000-08:00

Even Santa Claus has apparently been forced to make cutbacks this year. Rumours abound that Santa has retired Rudolph and his entire team of reindeer.

In an exclusive interview, Santa is supposed to have said that it was either the reindeer or cheaper holiday gifts for the kids this year.

Other reports appear to say that Santa has given into temptation and acquired a shiny, bright new red Zipfy mini luge to take him on his round the world trip on Christmas eve.

A photo journalist in Lapland is claiming to have taken photos of Santa practising on his Zipfy in preparation for his upcoming trip round the world. Apparently the photos show a gleeful Santa enjoying himself to the hilt. One photo is thought to show Santa on his Zipfy in mid air during a jump.

Reports are also coming in that, in an interview given from his exclusive retirement resort, Rudolph has claimed to be extremely happy and rather relieved that he and his fellow reindeer don’t have to make the somewhat strenuous trip this year, especially at their age.

On a side note, retailers report that Santa’s latest sled has started a new craze with Zipfys selling like hot cakes.

The Zipfy Experience

2008-11-26T09:39:00.000-08:00

In a small town in the Bavarian Alps, a bunch of people got sick of riding down the slopes on shovels. They wanted something better, faster and well, frankly - funkier!

So someone came up with the design for the Zipfy (pronounced Zip-Fee).

It's somewhere between a snow sled and a luge and it will take you flying down a snow covered slope in the ride of your life.

Zipfy comes in 5 colors: Pink Sapphire, Electric Eel Green, Firefly Red, Blue Ice and Savanna Yellow.

Zipfy's secret is its clever molded shape and its central lever that provides stability and allows the rider to steer. To turn, you just need to lean over to the side whilst gripping the lever as you carve your way through the snow in a thrilling, sweeping curve. To slow down, simply drop your heels to the ground and dig into the snow. If you want to stop just lean back and pull on the lever. That's it!

Oh and by the way, you're so close to the ground you can just roll off safely if you need to.

Snowboarders, skateboarders and other adrenaline junkies take note - you can even do jumps on a Zipfy. Race downhill, over a snow ramp and take off. You can land on your feet holding the Zipfy in one hand. What a rush!

The Zipfy Mini-Luge is compact at only 21 x 13 x 16 inches, so it will fit easily in your trunk. It’s made from rugged high density polyethaline, but it weighs in at just 3.5 pounds which makes it easy to carry around, no matter how many tomes you carry it up the slope.

You can get hold of a Zipfy for under $40, making it not just a unique Christmas gift idea but a great inflation busting one too.

Family Fun - Zipfy Style

2008-11-20T13:06:00.000-08:00

Zipfy riding is a great outdoor activity for all the family.

Kids of all ages from 6 – 106 can enjoy the thrills and excitement of racing through the snow on one of these unique plastic snow sleds. Have fun in the fresh air, get plenty of exercise and share your children’s delight in the feeling of exhilaration and freedom.

Unlike many children’s snow sleds, Zipfy combines easy stopping, steering and speed control – it takes just a short time to learn.

For younger children, you could always create a snow bank for them to run into in case they forget to stop! But don’t worry they can just roll off anytime, the low center of gravity means they can’t fall far.

For older children and teens, Zipfy appeals to the fee spirit of the board rider, whether snowboards, surfboards or skateboards. They can learn to execute sweeping slalom turns, flying starts and jumps.

Get their friends together for races and competitions, bring prizes, hot drinks and food for a fantastic day out.

A Zipfy mini luge is a great Christmas gift idea for teens or children. Why not take a look at the choice of cool colors available from our featured store?

Zipfy's Origins

2008-11-16T11:57:00.000-08:00

A Zipfy is simply the best snow sled you can get your hands on.

Its roots are in the old European pastime of shovel racing – an alternative to riding down the slopes on a tin tray! The thing about shovels is their handle – it seems that the Europeans found that sitting on the blade of a shovel and gripping the handle gave them great steering and control.

In the mountains, miners and trail maintenance crews found that riding their shovels down at the end of a hard day was a fast and fun way to get home.

But it’s more than a modified shovel, Zipfy also owes its origins to the Olympic Luge. You ride a Zipfy feet first like the traditional luge but unlike the Olympic sport you sit up with your legs extended and supported by the Zipfy’s molded topside. This makes it easy to steer and control your speed. It’s also a lot more comfortable than a luge!

This unique toboggan has a wing-like profile that allows riders to virtually float and glide across the snow and an underside rail design that carves through the snow in turns.

The Zipfy Mini-luge is precision made in the USA. One size fits all (up to 250 lbs) and its robust design and construction mean it can withstand high stress conditions.

Zipfy is now available in 10 countries and is tipped to be one of the most wanted, inexpensive gift ideas for Christmas.
