     They used to call them "flying carpets" , Then Coleco sold them as   
   "slde-a-boggan"A few years ago I saw some called "rolll-a-boggans" at   
   a discount / dollar store.  These are all just polyethelene sheets.   
   There are some moulded ones that look like they might make good   
   sliding creepers too -  EMSCO ESP and Lucky Bums,  and Sno Joe and   
   Slippery Racer are a few that look interesting. Definitely kook good   
   for working on grass /mud or sand - and quite possibly gravel where   
   roller creepers can NOT be used - as well as on rough concrete.
