Good food good conversations, hell 3 hrs in the rest.
IndySKS sorry you couldn't make it, we would have liked to have you and wife there with us ,next time for sure dude.
Show was great but could have used more vendors and clothing other than Royal.
Personally I went to find a new Helmet but found nothing , I want a BV2S and cant find one anywhere.
Monique and I are looking forward to the pinestone ride to get together again with everybody.
Greg buy the seat jack dude and come on out, even if its just for one weekend.

Andy bought a pair of boots at the Royal Distributing booth and I got a pair of snowmobile gloves. Line ups were attrocious there but it was still fun.

Flash 10-26-2003, 05:01 PM well if u saw us you would of saw us at the 3 oclock freestle show wear both articats broke down into pieces
we where the ones by telephone poll top row and had added stickers to cover a sheet of plywood behind us and we where standing on seats screaming (we where only ones screaming and the announcers pointed us out for where the party is at and i had a interveiw with camera guy on how the show was. in all we where the ones makign all the noise not all of us just a selected few we got split up
so did u see us :D
IndySKS 10-26-2003, 06:07 PM Yea sorry we couldn't have joned you folks for supper but we got back to the booth around 4:20 and they were swamped and some of their helpers had already left. So I felt obligated to stay to the very end .
I could not believe how busy it was in the OFSC booth all day , I had expecpted some busy times but nothing like it was. It was 3pm before we could get away for lunch and only then the reason it slowed a bit was a lot of people at the freestyle show. We were swamped with people purchasing their permits, once they found out part of the money went directly to the Clubs this year everyone had no problems forking out the cash. Permit sales were expected to double from last year . Now having worked on the other side of the counter I can say that there is no one selling permits that "helps" you decide which Club or District to buy from , it's all done very fairly. I'm already looking foward to helping again next year.
The bigest miscomception I think I had all day was 4 or 5 people thinking we were OFSC employies sucking up the big over time dollars . They were quite suprized to learn that no one there was a paid employie .
3 hours in the restaurant ? If I had known that we should have joined you after 7 pm , we decided to stop on the way home in some city called Kitchener, I throughly believe they have 3 year olds design the roads there, what a mess the 401 and hwy 8 area are.We spent more time lost than it took us to eat.
To everyone that dropped by and said hello , sorry I didn't have more time to chat but did enjoy meet those of you that i did . Hope to see and meet everyone at the Pinestone this February.
Yah me and FLASH! had the party going. I thought FLASH! was gonna jump a kid infront of him for his beernuts. My throat is still soar. I thought the show was good. To bad we couldn't meet up with anyone. :(
jacqui583 10-26-2003, 09:52 PM Yeah, I definitely have to say a good time was had by all! It was great finally meeting up with people I've been chatting with for over a year. And what a great crew we have on here! I was already looking forward to Pinestone, now I can't wait!
Trailblazer's pics didn't turn out very well, it was too dark out and the spotlight we stood in front of threw a lot of shadows. I think he'll post one anyway though.
permafrost 10-26-2003, 09:59 PM Im glad everyone had a good time, wish i could of been there , snifff sniff. Oh well the pinestone ride will be here in no time.
Guys who saw that girl at the NGK iridium boothh??? Wow was she HOT. :p
At the last freestyle show, what happen to the guy riding the black cat. Where I was standing I could only see them in the air. I couldn't see him land but I knew it was going to hurt. I never seen him jump again and I didn't see the ambulance move. I thought the show was great with some good deals.
trailblazer 10-27-2003, 02:12 AM Well I have to echo the other's that we met up with.
We had a great time getting to know some fine folks and getting to know some other fine folks (Scott and Monique) a little better. We had met them 2 years ago up in Durham in a restaurant. Fortunately we have better memories of that meeting than Scott does. He had an allergic reaction to mushrooms after the waitress asured him there were none cooked with his meal.
We're definitely looking forward to Pinestone even more now. (But I won't wish December, January and February away.) For any of you sitting on the fence trying to decide wether to go or not, JUST DOO IT!!! (Intentional spelling, Hehehe)
I'll try to post the pic here. I'm not sure if it'll work. Jacqui allready mentioned it was too dark for a good picture and the spot light cast some bad shadows.
Dave, (IndySKS) it's too bad You and Suzanne didn't make it. It would have been a nice way to end your busy, tiring day volunteering your time for the benefit of District 5 once again. THANKS!!!! :)

Welcome to this addictive winter pastime and this awesome site.
Just stick with us and you'll connect with other riders in your area in no time.
That's one of the reasons Paul Yarek has been assigned the official position of "FILL IN YOUR LOCATION, HOUND." He does a great job reminding those new to the site they need to fill that in. Keep up the great work Paul. :)
BTW - As you're looking for great places to ride this winter, don't think you need to endure the ritual ride up the 400 in bumper-to-bumper traffic grooming your "road rage driving habits." There's awesome trails to the southwest of Toronto. Our trails are in an area from Guelph west to Lake Huron around Bayfield. They then run south along Lake Huron, around Grand Bend continueing on to the Sarnia area. (Port Huron Mich. for our American friends.) From there they run south-east to the Lake Erie shores and east to the Turkey Point area. From there they continue North back to the Guelph area. Here's our website for District 5.

Let us know if you're going to be in our area.

The guy was gonna swing his feet around but couldn't get them all the way around. So he landed on his @$$ and something broke and fell off his sled and the handlebars were all bent. He was Kourtney Hungerford who was in Slednecks 5.

kennypope 10-28-2003, 08:09 PM Me and the Moose were at the show on sat aswell but got there when it opened......beat the rush..........didn't work!!! We met up with friends from the Toronto area.....non sw people! :hallo5: Had a good time, was dissapointed not to hook up with Perm, but he had some bigger stuff to worry about.
Bought lots of stuff......spent lots of money.
Did anyone go too the Supertrax show??? We went on Friday when we first got into the city. Man it was quite in there ......you could hear crickets!! Did get too meet Blair though and caught the first air show of the braaaap team. Got a good deal on some snow cross boots at that show.
I think next year they got to find a bigger venue for the big show.....way too crowed for me!!
Formulaman 10-28-2003, 08:38 PM Wow talk about alot of people! That place was crazy for this poor old country bumpkin lol Had fun and enjoyed meeting the others. Sorry we missed you A.K.A and powder, I tried to call when we got there but couldn't get a signal. Missed you too revrnd, you were probably heading out as we were coming in. Didn't see ya there Flash or King we were at the 4 oclock freestlye but got out there too late and couldn't see much. We had a great time socializing at the keg afterwards it was fun. Permafrost too bad we didn't meet, don't think I'm gonna make pinestone but we'll meet you and LadyK one of these days. Whew I think thats it or did I miss anyone?
