Best rolling cheesecakes in 2024

In winter, many people prefer to while away their leisure time with a cup of tea in their hands in front of the TV, completely forgetting about walking in the fresh air. But winter is a time of funny sports fun. You don't have to learn to ski or ice skate if you don't know how to do it. There is also roller coaster riding, which does not require special skills. Of course, for such a rest, you will need a comfortable and safe sled, for example, inflatable tubing cheesecakes. Many have already opted for tubing over traditional sleds as a safer option. To understand the intricacies of the choice will help our rating of the best cheesecakes for riding.

What is tubing

This sports equipment gets its name from the English word meaning "pipe". The device is designed for both snow riding and water entertainment. Anyone can use it, regardless of age. Unlike traditional sleds, tubing is much lighter, equipped with protective fasteners and comfortable handles. There are different models of cheesecakes, which are designed not only for one person, but also for couples.

How tubing works

The basis of the inflatable sled is a car camera. The strength of the entire device and the safety of the owner depend on its quality. It is better to buy products with a domestically produced camera, they are much stronger than their foreign counterparts.

The diameter of the chamber corresponds to the diameter of the inflatable cheesecake itself. However, in some cases, these parameters may not match. For example, if the chamber is smaller, it should be pumped up more. This will increase the rigidity of the structure and its speed properties. A softer camera makes the descent more comfortable, but then speed qualities are lost.

What to look for when buying

In order not to spoil the pleasure of riding, you need to choose the right cheesecake. First of all, you should rationally select the material of the top coat. This affects the durability of the product and its strength, as well as the sliding speed. The best option is PVC reinforced fabric. Such fabric glides better, and products made of it withstand the load better. Other topcoats include less durable fabrics such as cordura, polyoxford or nylon. These materials come in a variety of colors and make the tubing more recognizable.

The bottom of the cheesecake should be made of very strong PVC with a high density. The higher the number, the stronger the fabric. It is best to choose cheesecakes, where fabric with a density of 900 g / m2 is used for the base, and fabric with a density of 650 g / m2 should be used for the top. This parameter is especially important if you intend to use intensive tubing.

Then it is necessary to check the presence and strength of all belts, handles and fasteners.Inflatable sleds must be equipped with a special transport loop. Especially carefully you need to check its strength and reliability of attachment to the device. You can tie a thick, strong rope or tow rope to the loop. If you fix the cable around the perimeter of the tubing, then during the ride it will not spin.

Another important detail to consider when buying an inflatable sled is the reliability and durability of the handles. As a rule, they are made from the same material as the cable itself. For ease of use, the handles can be covered with fabric and filled with soft foam. Sometimes the handles can be made of rubber or plastic. The most reliable handles are made of PVC and are glued to the tubing with a particularly strong glue.

The handles can simply be sewn onto the fabric of the outer shell of the cheesecake. This option is the most fragile and often leads to damage and injury. Ideally, the handles should be sewn onto a reinforced cable. This allows you to correctly distribute the load and reliably protect the fabric from tearing.

How to choose the size of the cheesecake

Before buying your favorite model of inflatable sled, you need to make sure that it fits in size. It is recommended to carefully examine the seat and try to sit in it. A person should feel comfortable enough in it.

The dimensions of the tubing are determined based on the height of the person. Usually, the diameter of the cheesecake varies from 60 to 150 cm, but there are models of larger and smaller diameters. It should be borne in mind that the manufacturer indicates on the packaging the size of the cheesecake in non-working condition. When inflated, the diameter of the circle may be smaller.

If a person's height does not exceed 2 m or a cheesecake is chosen for two people, then a model with a diameter of 120 cm will do.When a person grows below 175 cm, it is worth stopping at a tubing with a diameter of 110 - 115 cm.But it is still better to try on an inflatable sled in the store and navigate when choosing on their own feelings.

How to choose a tubing for a child

Choosing a cheesecake for a child is based on the same principles as for adult models. But there are some peculiarities. For example, for very young children, the child needs to be able to freely reach the tubing handles. The child's feet should reach the ground a little, but at the same time fit into the 10 cm set at the norm. If the size of the cheesecake does not correspond to the child's age, then it is better to ride with him.

In general, when using it for the first time, it is necessary to slide down the hill with the child several times. At the time of descent, it is necessary to show by example how to operate an inflatable sled.

The sizes of children's tubings are also indicated in centimeters in diameter and are selected according to the child's height. For the smallest children, models with a diameter of 65 cm are suitable.Children with a height of up to 1 meter - at least 80 cm, for teenagers, a model with a diameter of 95 cm or more is suitable.

Man's height	110 cm	140 cm	170 cm	200 cm	more than 2 m
Tubing diameter	65-85 cm	90-95 cm	100-110 cm	125 cm	150 cm
