A light-weight toboggan that can be rolled up and carried under the armpit, blown up like a balloon, and put to work on a snowy slope, promises to be the most exciting development for this years (Northern Hemisphere) winter sports' enthusiasts. Called an Enka Jumbo, the toboggan, made in West Germany, is constructed of polyester fabric, and has an excellent coating that makes it ideal for downhill sliding. The Jumbo comes in three sizes—small, medium, and large. It is said to be safer than wooden sledges, as it acts as a cushion when landing from a jump. To steer the Jumbo, the rider shifts his weight from side to side while gripping handles situated on either side. Because of its pointed nose, the wedge-shaped Jumbo is said to be easier to direct. Experts believe that this new advance will bring the toboggan sport up to date with the 1980s.
