Questions about TubTrax: tubing tracks
  • What variants of the installation are there:

      Straight track with one or more lanes next to each other. Width is approx. 2 m each with side walls. Straight track with a curve at the end of the track. Here you can feel the centrifugal forces in the target curve.Course with several curves (2-3) if the terrain is steep and long enough. A very varied route. Route with straights and curves through the forest. This route can be designed very adventurously. Route with straights and curves in opposite directions with tunnels and bridges to the finish. Can have a very spectacular course. Distance (approx. 30m) to an approx. 1.80m high jump with a jump (approx. 2m air level) and a soft, gentle landing in an air bag. Experience a great corridor feeling. Route about 20m long and ends in a water pool or lake with gliding over the water. Great competition opportunities. Great for events.
  • What are the fundamental differences:

    A basic distinction is made with a classic TubTrax track. Continuous, straight route. Here the start is at an incline of approx. 15-30 degrees and leads straight down to the finish. The target should run out flat so that the tubing tires come to a standstill automatically. To improve braking, we offer our "Stopping Fleece". After 2-4m the tube is gently stopped. If the speed of the tuber towards the finish is still high, the speed can be adjusted with small stopping fleece mats in the last third of the track so that the tube comes to a gentle stop. Routing with a concave course. With this route, the tuber starts with speed and is gently brought to a standstill at the end of the ride. The same stopping measures as described above also apply here.

  • From when should curve modules be used:

    Curved modules are mostly used when the route is longer than approx. 40m and the terrain is steep enough. In some cases 2-3 curves are built into the track lengths of 100m. If a tubing track has too little outflow at the end of the stretch, an approx. 90 degree curve can also be installed there so that the tuber drives into the curve at speed and slowly comes to a standstill sliding to the right or left.

  • Does a tubing track also work with jumping into an air bag:

    Yes. After the installation of a straight of approx. 30m length, a ski jump module with a kicker will be installed. Depending on the height of the air bag (approx. 1.80-2.50m height), the kicker gets its ramp angle so that the tuber flies only a few meters into the air bag after taking off and then lands in the center of the air bag .

  • Can the Epic Tubes also be used in winter:

    Yes. Since the Epic Tubes have a robust and solid HDPE hard shell base, the tubes can be ridden in the snow in winter and on the TubTrax plastic mats in summer.

  • Rubber or plastic tires can also be used for the summer tubing track:

    no The friction between the thin plastic of the tire and the TubTrax mats generates a lot of heat at higher speeds, which melts the plastic. Thus, the tire would tear while driving and probably injure the tuber from the fall. So should not be used. Our instructions for use also list which tubing tires may be used on the tubing track.

  • Are the TubTrax modules compatible with each other:

    Yes. The TubTrax modules: TubTrax-M1 and TubTrax-M2 and TubTrax-M3 are compatible with each other. There is also the start gate and the ski jump table (kicker) for jumping into the air bag.
