Well its about 2:10 am and I'm finally home after about 10 hours on the road. The show was quite amazing, and althopugh I didnt get a ton of pictures, I did get a few nice ones that I'll put up in the morning when I get them off my camera.

I can say this, the guys at Gorilla had quite the booth, lots of "BIG" stuff for true Gorilla style. They had the 32" silverback....and wait..... yes they now are taking orders on 27's, 28's abd 30's if I'm not mistaken. I think these tires might just be a very BERY big player in the mud boggin game very quickly. The guys at Gorilla couldnt have been nicer, great group of guys to shoot the shit with about anything and EVERYTHING ;)

RZR's and Rhino's where in full force at the show, lots of cool custome plastics, custome monster size lifts, and all around bad ass looking machines. A full sized Ranger Crew cab with bull encloser and a Dually set-up in the rear, it honestly looked more like a toned down BIG RIG than a Polaris Ranger.

Race quads EVERYWHERE, I mean EVERYWHERE, and done to the nuts in paint, chrome, and loads of aftermarket accessories like you wouldnt believe.

I'll post pics and more info in the morning, time to go cuddle with my lovely Mrs Rubberdown :D

EDIT:
Forgot to mention I got a chance to meet Mr. Bigdog himself, and his wife the Supreme decider as well as A.J. from the muddy 13 crew. Pleasure to meet you guys, and finally put a face to the name Vern. ;)

Cool pics Paul. Thats a great facility isn't it. I worked a few shows there myself. The real question is did you go to St. Elmos and get the Horse Radish?

Theres always next year. But I'm sure after all of the walking you guys did you weren't much thinking of waiting for a spot for a table. My knees still hurt when I remember how big that place is.

How much GC do you figure it had?

thanks for the shots RD..Would you say that the sxs are pushing in on the market?? what % do you think they make up nowadays?

Rubberdown

Buck, I would say that they are growing and growing fast. Since the show had everything from race quads to utility quads to sxs's and all kinds of dirtbike, street bikes etc etc, its hard to say, but of the quads and sxs's, the sxs's probably filled about 20 to 25% of the total qty in the show.

Now on another note, HOLY OFF SHORE INVASION!!!! There must have been 20+ different brands of off shore junk just filling the place, everything from the mini machines up to full size sxs's that look both like good makes and models (copycats of rhinos, rangers etc etc) and some that looked flat out terrible like childrens toys.




Riven, I forget, but I think it was like 30 something inches?

ive seen a few of those... some with suberu engines... i dont know what to think... There will b alot of people buying those and finding out that there is no goodies in the after market world and then buying the real deal.. so i guess they live and learn.

It also looks like the RZR is the new favorite child of the aftermarket industry.
