Default Ten Sleds that Shaped the Sport

I loved the artice by Jerry Basset on Ten Sleds that Shaped the Sport.

I grew up with Sno Jets so I was thrilled to see them get honourable mention.

Also recognizing that Polaris popularized IFS in production sleds and didnt invent it was good insight.

The only change I would suggest would be to recognize the 1 hit wonders that initially experimented with rider forward positioning, Redline, Blade and the others whose name I cant remember (showing my age I guess)
Ski Doo definately popularized it in production sleds though.

Great article
