About Paricon
Paricon, makers of the original Flexible Flyer sled, began making sleds in 1861 with the founding of a family business, Paris Manufacturing, in South Paris, Maine, by the great grandfather of current CEO Hank Morton. When Henry Morton started making sleds at home, he constructed them by hand and his wife decorated them. These original hand-decorated sleds have become much sought after by collectors, but the originals simply ensured each sled would be a child's prized possession.
Today, Hank and his sons, Ted and Tom, are continuing the family tradition in the sled business with Paricon. The sled line has evolved to include a wide assortment of products for winter use, including sleds, snowboards, foam sliders, inflatable tubes, wooden toboggans, and snow toys. Paricon serves customers throughout the U.S. from its distribution center, which remains in South Paris.

Does not hold up at all to any lumps & bumps.. such as pebbles or sticks. Sled shreds easily. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful:  A boogie board for snow, By John Ruiz (Crystal Beach, Florida United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Flexible Flyer Aurora (Sports) With the blizzard of 2010 a few days out, I bought this for my 5 year old. We both had fun with it, riding solo or with her on my back. It is fun to ride laying down or sitting up. The snow was deep and well-packed. I don't remember anything riding well in really deep or wet snow. It doesn't handle like the Flexible Flyer I grew up with, and I wouldn't choose this for tight areas with surrounding trees, but it also weighs a lot less than a wood/metal sled. And for the price, it doesn't have to become a family heirloom. Cowabunga! 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful: Not very happy, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Flexible Flyer Aurora (Sports) I bought 2 of these for my daughters (8 and 9). After the first snow storm one of the handles broke off of one of the sleds. Before the season was over, both handles had broken off and my daughter was destroyed that her sister's didn't break. They treated them both the same. I was disappointed. |
