The entertainment industry is advancing and trying to reach a wider circle of users, offering a variety of new products. Even in the Old Testament it is said that there is nothing new under the sun. This can also be attributed to the tubing, in fact, the inflatable chambers that older people used to ride from the snow slides. However, the former are made of more durable materials and are specially designed for high-speed descents from highlands. Because of the outward resemblance to cheesecakes, people call them that. They also look like a pill.
In this article we will talk about such products of the SNOW SHOW brand.
Features
Tubing is a great accessory for outdoor activities in the winter season. Thanks to them, you can get a huge rush of adrenaline, descending at high speed from the hills. You can also use them in the summer in games on the water surface.
SNOW SHOW produces the following types of tubing:
- made only of PVC;
- combined (the composition includes fabric and PVC);
- inflatable, with a plastic bottom.
Each of these groups has its own characteristics. The first category is the most practical to use, since the cover made of PVC serves for a long time.
The second category - hybrid products, will be used for a shorter period, but they are much cheaper.
And the third type, with a bottom made of plastic, is the most reliable and practical option. The cover is made of PVC, and the bottom is made of special plastic, which can withstand low temperatures.
The main difference between the second type and the rest is that such tubing cannot be towed by a car.
The next feature of the cheesecakes is the diameter. It can vary from 65 to 150 cm. The most popular sizes are from 90 to 120. And the final one is the shape. They are round or oval.
Model Overview
The Snow Show company has been producing tubing for more than 15 years, during which time it has designed several types. Many models are very popular - these are series such as “Design”, “Standard”, “Practitioner” and others.
The brightest and most unique category Design is a one-of-a-kind collection of inflatable products. The best designers of the company worked on it. These tubings are not just items for riding, but a work of art. Due to the unique appearance of this series, they can even decorate the walls, and not be stored away from the eyes in the garage after the end of the season.
This line offers many unique and unique solutions.
But the unconditional hits of the season were models such as Russian Matryoshka, Stylish space, Yellow elit and others.
This series has enviable characteristics:
- withstands loads of up to 100 kg, which allows a child to ride with an adult;
- Awning and bottom PVC material, plastic bottom not provided;
- light weight - 2.9 kg;
- diameter in working condition - 95 cm.
The cover is made of a special waterproof fabric, transportation handles are sewn to it.
The cable and the camera are included in the package; at the request of the buyer, individual logos or chevrons can be applied to the awning.
How to choose?
To choose the right cheesecake, you need to pay attention to certain points.
- Size and weight. If only a child will use it, you need to buy a small diameter (up to 90 cm in inflated form) and a weight of up to 2.5 kg, so that it would not be difficult for the baby to independently lift the tubing up the hill. If you are planning family skiing, then it will be optimal to purchase an adult “pill” of large diameter (up to one and a half meters). She is able to withstand a decent weight, and two people fit perfectly there.
- The presence of pens. Inflatable products must be equipped with handles for each passenger so that no one falls out during the descent.
- Awning and camera material. When riding, a decent load acts on the cover, and it is better if the fabric is reliable, with a minimum friction resistance of 630 g / m. It is more reasonable for a family to buy with a plastic bottom. The inflatable balloon should be made of natural rubber capable of withstanding heavy loads and low temperatures.
Also do not forget about the operating instructions - it should be included in the sled set.
Still need to be reminded that PVC darkens over time. And if you want your tubing to look attractive for as long as possible, then you need to choose darker colors.
How to store?
Keeping and keeping “cheesecakes” is not difficult - you just need to follow simple rules. It is recommended that sleds be stored in an unheated room.. If you suddenly had to bring it into heat for a long time, then it is better to bleed air by 50 percent, otherwise the camera may burst.
It is also advisable that the tubing is not for a long time in a room with people: rubber can give off an unpleasant odor.
After the season ends, it will be right to remove the camera from the tent, lower it, wipe it dry and then pump it up. If you store the camera in a twisted form, then cracks may appear on the bends, and the cylinder will be unusable in the future.
The case should be stored separately from the camera to prevent stains from prolonged contact of rubber and fabric.
