All about SNOW SHOW tubing
The entertainment industry is moving forward and trying to reach a larger circle of users, offering various new products. Even in the Old Testament it is said that there is nothing new under the sun. This can also be attributed to tubing, in fact, inflatable tubes that older people used to ride from snow slides. However, the former are made of more durable materials and are specifically designed for downhill descents. Because of the external resemblance to cheesecakes, the people call them that. They also look like a pill.
In this article, we will talk about such products from the SNOW SHOW brand.
Peculiarities
Tubing is a great accessory for outdoor activities in the winter season... Thanks to them, you can get a huge adrenaline rush, descending at high speed from the slides. 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 lasts a long time.
The second category - hybrid products, will operate for a shorter period of time, but they are significantly cheaper.
And the third type, with a plastic bottom, is the most reliable and practical option. The cover is made of PVC, and the bottom is made of special plastic that can withstand low temperatures.
The main difference of the second type from the others is that such a 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 form. They are round or oval.
Model overview
The Snow Show company has been producing tubing for over 15 years, during which time it has designed several types. Many models are very popular - these are series such as "Design", "Standard", "Practician" 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. Thanks to the unique appearance of this series, they can even decorate the walls, and not be kept out of sight in the garage after the season.
This line offers many unique and unique solutions.
But the undisputed hits of the season were such models as "Russian Matryoshka", Stylish space, Yellow elit and others.
This series has enviable characteristics:

- the material of the awning and the bottom is PVC, the plastic bottom is not provided;
- small weight - 2.9 kg;
- diameter in working order - 95 cm.
The cover is made of a special waterproof fabric; transport handles are sewn to it.
The kit includes a cable and a camera, 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 be using it, you need to buy a small diameter (up to 90 cm inflated) and weighing up to 2.5 kg, so that it is not difficult for the baby to independently lift the tubing up the hill. If you are planning family skiing, then it would be optimal to purchase an already adult "tablet" of large diameter (up to one and a half meters). It is capable of supporting a decent weight, and two people will fit perfectly there.
- The presence of handles... Inflatable products should be equipped with handles for each passenger so that no one falls out during descent.
- Awning and camera material... When riding on the cover, there are decent loads, and it is better if the fabric is reliable, with a minimum frictional 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 that can withstand heavy loads and low temperatures.
Also, do not forget about the operating instructions - it should be included in the sled kit.
It should also 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 storing "cheesecakes" is not difficult - you just need to follow simple rules. It is recommended that the sled is kept in an unheated room... If you suddenly had to bring it into the heat for a long time, then it is better to bleed the air by 50 percent, otherwise the camera may burst.
It is also desirable that the tubing should not be in a room with people for a long time: rubber can give off an unpleasant odor.
After the season is over, it will be correct to remove the camera from the tent, lower it, wipe it dry and then pump it up. If the camera is stored rolled up, cracks may appear in the folds 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.
