Interesting backstory on BRP

I found this video to be pretty interesting.

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

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.

Apart from the --king CRAP rap music, I enjoyed...

I lived in MN back in the 70's and thought the Cats were the **** also.... but here are some interesting numbers.... https://snowgoer.com/latest-news/bo...uction-for-1971-you-wont-believe-the-numbers/

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 :2thumbs:

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/UCNSMdQtn1SuFzCZjfK2C7dQ

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

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