Hey Vmax, the demo rides are on for Saturday. The Yamaha Canada Site is always being updated and often events get archived or moved lower on the page. We are flying out to Rev'y tomorrow. Dealer meetings and rides are Thursday and Friday and public VIP rides on on Saturday up on Boulder.

Game-on.

When you say VIP, does that mean I have to know someone? Or can any joe just walk in and get to try the new Nytro MTX?

Well, my wife and I made the trek to Revelstoke for the Western Canada Dealer Meeting and Customer Apprectiation Yamaha-Fest this weekend. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW, WHAT A WEEKEND!!! If you have not been to Revelstoke, you need to get there. 18 Feet of snow, amazing views, great boondocking and hills that you have to be nuts to go up!!!! The Chutes Chris was talking about above are just crazy. I agree, I am 30 and way to scared to be one of those guys, but it was a blast to watch them make it, and also interesting to watch those crashes as they roll thousands of feet down.

We also got to watch Jimmy Blaze do back flips with the Canadian Rockies as a backdrop. That in itself was just cool.

I had the chance to demo all the yamaha mtn sleds, and let me tell you, I am gonna own a 2008 Nytro MTX. That is one nice sled, very impressive, the engine is amazing!!!! Best seat yamaha has ever put on a sled, comfortable, predictable handling. It is the one for me!!! Also was able to get a ride on a Phazer Mtn with the MC Express Turbo. WOW!!!! Thanks to John Piccolo (A Totally Yamaha Member) for this opportunity. And also a big thanks for his help in getting my wife into the bowl for the day of fun. Thatnks John!!!

Now for the details. I have been around a lot of snowmobile events in the past 20+ years and let me tell you this trip to Revelstoke has been the most enjoyable. The fellas on the Yamaha Canada Team go the extra mile to make everyone feel like a VIP. I am very impressed with the entire event, from the moment we entered the parking lot, til the time I am typing this blog, we have not stopped smiling!!!

Brandon Keys is an outstanding fellow, and the entire team rocks. From great demo rides, food, gifts, knowledge, customer service/relations, and so on and so forth they are just top notch. I have never been treated with this level of appreciation from a company before. I truely feel Yamaha is the company with family. We felt like famil this entire weekend!!!!

We were given a trail pass by one of the Yamaha guys at the parking lot gate, guided to the top by the demo fleet, looked after at the demo rides, fed hamburgers at the chalet. One of the parts and accessory reps even chased us down a trail just to stop us and remind us we were invited to dinner at the Hill Crest Resort.

What a day, and we are staying for a few more days!!!!

I will be snow checking my 2008 FX Nytro MTX in 40th Ann. Colors!!!!!!

Thanks Chris and the entire Yamaha Canada Team,

Steve Burdick
