The Zipfy Experience

This is the Zipfy Mini Luge 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.

Zipfy's Origins

Zipfy Mini Luge in Action 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.
