The Flying Turtle® is a patented "sit-skate" that zips along
any smooth, hard surface just by swinging the handlebars back and forth.
No batteries or pedals, just kid-powered fun.
Children put their hands and feet on the handlebars which pivot in relation
to the seat and work the handlebars for
propulsion by vectored torque thrust making the
front wheels want to skate forward.
It's low to the ground and has no sharp edges or spokes so the Flying Turtle®
is probably one of the safest ride-ons for ages 3 to 12.
Compare that to a skateboard.
These fun toys are so well liked that amusement parks around the world have
the commercial version and therapeutic enough that there is a variation for
special needs children (see Roller Racer® and Exer-Rider® below).

Spring Swings®...Swings that Bounce are fun outdoor
high physical activity designs for various ages up to adult.
The company is named after the obvious products but also makes
interesting and exhilarating cable trolley rides.
The Fun Ride Deluxe
flies above the rest of the toys that we enjoy here.
Even our airplane pilot gleefully carves up lengths of atmostphere.
More ambitious initially than most, the rewarding outcome is a
tested and approved play fixture that draws attention and interest.
Fun Ride Deluxe is intended to be used as a cable ride between two
points over reasonalby level unpaved ground.
A strong aircraft grade steel cable is strung up to
seventy feet typically between two stout trees
and a ball- bearing trolley with two handgrips rolls on four pulleys along it.
Step up and hang on from the slightly higher end then
sail through the air until
you come to a stop with your feet on the ground at the other end.
The upper weight limit is 225 lb. with a lower age limit of eight
with adult supervision.
The steel cable has one end wrapped on the
starting side tree (not included!) back to
itself and seized with three cable clamps. The cable's
other end has a wrap
through one end of a turnbuckle over a thimble back to three clamps.
It is likely that you will need to trim it to length unless two
trees or supports are just the right distance apart.
The turnbuckle's other end shackles to a length of loop-end
steel cable around the go-to tree.
The trolley consists of two halves of hard UV-stabilized
red plastic halves held together by
four bolts through the four pulley bearings plus two more smaller bolts.
