I have been looking for a sled like this to rival the ROGUE brand for a while, cause as much as I love the ROGUE training equipment, its crazy over price for most of it. While they do have quality stuff, People clearly paying for the brand name.But with this sled I have the quality piece I wanted without the inflated price tag. The handles are taking a little while to wear in and ease of switching from side to side still takes a lil effort to get the poles out and back in, but I'm sure with time it will wear out and be much smoother a transition. I can push this beast down the side yard or drag it with some battle ropes without any problems. It runs very smooth on the grass, but I would get the plastics "skis" if you want to use it on the pavement, Really for the nose reduction alone. But that's honestly prob every sled unless its super lite weight.I would have given it 5 stars except for the fact that it is such a beast! I didn't think about how difficult it would be to move from the garage to the yard outside. Its very bulky and heavy, which is awesome cause its clearly very durable, but heavy as hell! lol
