Sweet. When I was a kid one of the neighbor kid's Dad found an olympic-sized swimming pool cover. Best slip and slide ever. It covered the whole freaking backyard. Needless to say their water bills were quite high that summer.

While growing up in NVA, our house had a huge, steep hill behind it that was always covered to a depth of 2"-3" in dried pine needles. It was perhaps 200 yards long and the mature pine trees were evenly spaced in rows about 8' apart to aid in erosion control. Although we had two slip-n-slides that we would set up in series, we could never come close to matching the speed generated by boogie boarding down the dried pine needles, sometimes on only cardboard sheets. We were able to generate such speed on the hill that our momentum carried us across the back yard lawn, through my mom's vegetable garden and into the side of the house. Let's just say my dad was displeased when he discovered that perhaps 10 linear feet of our house's lower section of aluminum siding were smashed completely flat by our crashes into the house during our sessions of pine needle tobogganing.

That looks sweet! I bought my daughter the "classic" model when it hit 100 a few weeks back. My abs hurt for 3 days afterward.

<edit> Saw this on the Onion this morning:

* SACRAMENTO, CA&#8212;Breaking the previous world record by a full three minutes, it took only 27 seconds after setting up the Slip N&#185; Slide for someone to be seriously injured.
