Saskatoon Sled Show

Radar78 · Nov 4, 2018

Any Saskys out there with thoughts on the show? I thought it was quite poor. Less vendors. And way too many non sled related vendors with a very aggressive sales pitch. Maybe it was good if you were looking for a helmet......?

Hit the nail on the head with the turbos. Man they were everywhere! They’re super cool to look at and dream about but do they actually drum up enough business in Saskatchewan to warrant coming out here? I’ve heard the booths aren’t cheap. And I feel like most guys out here are like me when it comes to boosting our 2 strokes. Would love to play the turbo game but can’t afford and/or justify the cost for the 6-9 days a year spent in the mountains!!

Was talking to Dave from redline a couple years ago and he said for the show cost to the turbos that sold it was well worth the time. I will make the drive to Edmonton next year.

Thought show was zlright but wasn't much to buy. Those who are selling all seem to be selling same thing.

In my mind shows are about getting to see products and conversing with people. Are there deals yes for sure usually helmets and gear, turbo guys show up so that you can see there product and bs with them. If they are not at the show people don’t see them or there name. Redline has a pump gas kit out this year that’s probably more appealing than ever for the sasky boys along with all the mountain riders I hated packing fuel.

Ya, I don't get the middle east selling the bracelet's and the Dr. Ho's insoles and heated/massaging flip flops both, but we do fairly decent at the Saskatoon show, and always get to bull**** with fellow sledders ! The vintage booth had some shiny stuff this year too...and that 600 Mono Cat was puuuurty !
