2 skidoos on rigid plastic sleds. These sleds work well for the most part, but if they consist of more than one piece of plastic and have a heavy load on them, they will rip apart at the seams (at the welds), which eventually leads to creating drag, and then pulling the seams even further apart. So their usefulness is limited.
