    Default Interesting backstory on BRP

    I found this video to be pretty interesting.

    At the 6:40 mark refrencing 1970 "Bombardier breaks 90% market share"

    Cat dominated the 70's sled market, other than the nonsense about Bombi with 90% market share the vid was great!!

    Gotta go with a Cat vid now, Elsner campaigned the #1 sled in 79 as the 78 SnoPro high points champion.

    I always wonder where or why they replaced the I with Y in the Spyder/Ryker name. Now I know, unless that's just an old wives tale.

    Interesting especially the part where BRP continues to innovate and change

    Love all of FortNine's videos. Their two Spyder videos were the most informative F3-related content I found on YouTube, and were a big part in shifting my interest from the Ryker to the F3. Their production values are also top-notch.

    Here's a link to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNS...SuFzCZjfK2C7dQ

    And links to the two videos he did on the F3-S:




    Both somewhat dated (3 years old), but still quite relevant.
