I am looking for a chute for about 8 kids, do I go with the 12' or the 20'?
1636900
I got the 11 which is great for 4 kids.... Bigger will work better for more than that!
1636901
I believe the 12' only has 6 handles. If so I would go with the 20'...don't want kids fighting for handles!

The 12 should be fine, but I choose a bigger one so that the kids had a little space between them, yet always allowed room for more if needed. Lots of fun and youtube shows how to play several games like cat and mouse. Enjoy!

It depends on how old the kids are and how much control you want them to have of the chute. I use mine with 6-20 kids (ages 4-6). The more material a child has to control, the harder it will be. The 12' is a very manageable size however the 20' will provide more challenge and resistance in maneuvering it. I suggest drawing it out on your driveway with some chalk and you will be able to visualize it better. hope that helps,

Gosh, it depends upon how many handholds you have, how old (how big) the kids are and, of course, how much room you have! I favor the 12' one, simply because its size makes it more versatile for things like building a fort indoors (draping it over tables, etc), and is more manageable for the kids to handle and pack around. Also, if there are kids on every handhold--and I think there are at least 8 handholds on the 12' version--they can get a great "billow" effect on the 12' 'chute, as opposed to the 20'. I guess I'd recommend the 12' for your gang. It's a great party game thing as well as creative play. Have fun!

I would recommend a good 20 get for maximum effectiveness. .. But is dependent on strength of throw into it. My son is 9 and 20 feet is minimum.

I would definitely say go with the 18". Unless you have long legs the 20" might be too much of a stretch and end up being rather uncomfortable

I'm heavy, 200+, and wish I would have gone with the 10". I hate the 12", no good support at all. Woman at customer service at Lucid said the 10" would have been better. Hope this helps.

The 12 footer will track better and be slightly faster but be slightly less maneuverable. Get the 12 footer if you can afford it - should only be a few pounds more as far as weight goes.

I don't ride, but my 11 and 13 year-old sons do well on 20" wheels. Being 6'3", I would think 24" might suit you better.

Overall i would say 12 and up. I say 12 bc you gotta have good balance at first and older kids can take a fall more than others. Now as of the product i recommend the newer ones. Hes they are more expensive but you wont have the back of your knees hurting like these here. I had to put a towel to soften the straps between my leg and the strap

The 30 is what I would call a standard sized bass fishing reel so I'd say a 20 would be perfect for ultra light applications.

For safeties sake I'd go no later than 12" maybe even 10". You'd have to judge the safety factor yourself. It does have a pretty good amount of slack.

Jonathan, the 8' version is comprised of TWO bars, not three. So, 8' is the minimum length for this version of the crane. You can ADD another optional section and make it a 12' unit. It will take some effort to learn to use this well, so don't take a commercial gig before you do some substantial practice. I would also recommend the ball bearing pan adapter though it can be used without. Hope this helps. Johnny.

18" works pretty well for most things. 8" would be for fine work like string or lace work. 20+ would be best for things like icing tips or doing large volumes fairly quickly. It's mostly about how often you're willing to fill your bag vs how much you want to hold onto at one time. I find that anything larger than 18-20" is just too big.

Would be best bet. 16 too small and 24 too difficult to learn on. 20 will provide most use for 4' 11". Small enough for tricks, big enough for some touring around the neighborhood.

We have both sets - the 12" and 18" - and the 18" set seems to get more use from both the kids and the adults. For under 10 yrs, the 12" might be better, but for 10 yrs and older, I would lean towards the larger set. The smaller kids can use both hands to handle the 18" set.

I think either one would work.. if you use the 12" high one it will just extend a little further above the rails. won't really matter...

Hi, Before I purchased my 2 Kayaks I was advised to get a 12 foot flat bottom. I bought a 10 foot in the water and a 2 man 12 ffot on top of the water Kayak. Both are set up for fishing. I much prefer the 10 foot Sun Dolphin. Not only was it cheaper, it handles so much easier in the water. It is light enough that I can acrry it alone from the car to the water and I am over 50 y/o female. I love the 10 foot Kayak also because I can just throw it the back of my pick up, no special gear needed. The larger one is a little to large for that. Hope this helps.

Go with the 20L. I bought the 10L and it's perfect for two people. If you need to make more space, attach a carabiner and hang your flip flops off that. Enjoy the back pack.

I would suggest the 18 if you like to sit a little less hunched over, or the 20 if you like lean forward a bit. This bike seems to be larger than the other store bought bikes I was looking at.
