Was there from 8:45am to midday..... my first time at this show. Wow..... fantastic, got a pair of gloves on my way out. Met Bigfish, revrnd, nunz and his wife.
Was asking around for Sledjunk..... everyone said..."oh, he was here 5 minutes ago" but I didn't get to meet up.
All in all.... it's was a show well worth the money. Hope the open up a bigger area for food though....
.
Cheers all.
Sorry we missed you, Ty.
It was a good show. Picked up a new track for Moosifer's sled as well as another pair of Altima boots. Great day.

Yes for me and again no changes.

Me too!

I used Caliber as well. However, the configurator doesn't give much help in installing the guides in the nose to steer into the lanes.

Please remember everything can be stolen if they are equipped with the right time and tools. Krok Lock is made as the best detourant on the market, before any one talks trash about the product please research more about it. i have personally owned them on my trailers and have had attempts to steal my trailer and i ended up with a damaged krok lock and trailer and sleds were still in tact. Installed another unit and good to go. They come in aluminum and plastic
I watched the video and it looks interesting, but it appears to me that he didn't really attempt to show that it was impervious. The attempts with the pry bar were pretty feeble and I don't know if he even pulled the trigger on the reciprocating saw. I can't see that the plastic (whatever blend) would stand up to a recip saw for very long. A less feeble unsuccessful break in attempt would have been much more credible. I think I saw those at the Novi show about 5 years ago and wasn't impressed enough to dump the money into one at that time.
IMO, a cordless angle grinder would gain access through that in short order, as it would for most other devices. JMO

I was told by our Club President that we needed this to get a Driver abstract..... Anyone else heard this or this only my district asking for this? Since I steeped down from club president I'm not always in the loop for district stuff..... live is good now.... I can do trail work and do signs... it's what I like
Welcome back GG. Yes, all drivers need a driver abstract, as well as current chainsaw, FA and WHMIS certificates.

Welcome to the forum! There is a lot of good information here and a lot of fun. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Most are very helpful.

Much.

I do have them, but still use them for the sleds that do not have wheels.

We need an "in-house" fab guy to do sled wheels.
I'd be down for 2 sets.
Revrnd? Oh, Revrnd?

A couple of points.
First, those units are rated at 300 Lbs MAX LOAD limit. Typically, Safe Working Load is 1/3 or 1/4 of Max Load. You would want at least 400 Lbs SWL, IMO.
Yes, a friend got twisted around and the trailer ended up on its side. The sleds were still clamped to the floor of the trailer. Mind you, that kind of accident can, and probably will, still cause damage to the sled, but at least it is not a projectile. In 2002, I was returning from Parry Sound with one sled fastened securely (or so I thought) to n open bed trailer. As I approached a crossroad, a car, which had stopped, pulled out in front of me. I hit him in the left front quarter and spun him around so that he hit me in my rear quarter. My car came to rest 90 degrees to the roadway, facing the ditch. After I stopped, something hit me in the driver's door and blocked it. The something was my sled. It had ripped the ratchet straps and / or straightened the hooks. The trailer was the old style that ran a bar through the side of the trailer, over the skis and into a bracket in he center of the trailer. I had taken a piece of chain and hooked it to that bar and to the ski for more support. That 5/8 inch bar was twisted into a 'C' shape, ripped out of the trailer at both ends and went for a ride still attached to the ski. The forces that are exerted in a crash, or even a panic maneuver, are unimaginable.
Do yourself a favour, and don't cheap out on tiedowns. I used to use SuperClamps, but have switched to the bars that came with my trailer, because I find the SuperClamps do not fit well with my ski wheels. However, I have also made some bars that clamp the skid down as well, so that the sled is held at both ends.

AED’s are everywhere and that is a good thing. You don’t have to have first aid to operate one. They are self explanatory and won’t let you do something out of sequence
True, but a little training will give people the confidence to open the box to find out how easy they are to operate. Without training, I think that many will shy away rom the device because they THINK they can't operate one.

Just got info that permit sales are down across the province for both seasonal and classic.

Welcome to the forum, Christy!
Just don't ask Nunz to wrench on anything. Karen, maybe. Nunz, no way.

Maybe it's time to take a trip to Sledarama in November. Well worth the trip to Peterborough, personally I think you would enjoy it...
I have not missed going to the powersports show, at all. Aside from seeing friends, which I already see...
I went to Sledarama for the first time a couple of years ago. After that, I have skipped the Toronto show for the last two years, and, as you said, haven't missed it. So, now I am looking forward to Novi, next weekend, Heart of Ontario Open House on the 10th, and then Sledarama on the 17th.

I'm ahead of you. I've been riding sleds back and forth between the shop and warehouse across the street for about 3 weeks... we have these ski wheel things that hook onto the ski loop with a wheel on either side of the ski, they work great !! Just finished an engine rebuild and moved it across yesterday. Must be close to 1 km by now !!!!
First saw those at Novi in 2016. They looked pretty intriguing. glad to hear that they work well.

Does loading and unloading the '19 850 into the trailer, and loading in the 2020 Doo count?.
If it does then I beat you! Unloaded the '07 and '12 from the 2011 Triton and on to the 2020.
So. Where are the pics of the 2020?????

I wonder how many lives could be saved if more folks had first aid?
