Rob Read & Steve Glass

Welcome to Sled Talk — where it’s all about snowmobiling, stories, and the ride.We’ve been riding together since the mid-70s, and let’s just say… we’ve seen it all. From pulling the cord to pulling our hair out, the sport has come a long way — and so have the stories.Snowmobiling isn’t just something we do… it’s been a lifelong passion. And after decades on the trails, we’ve got no shortage of laughs, lessons, breakdowns, and unforgettable moments to share.Whether you’re a hardcore rider, someone

Sled Drive-Thru’s, Marketplace Scams & Our Ride Ended...

Sled Talk ·

2026/04/15

In this episode of Sled Talk, we cover a little bit of everything from community pride to trail-side breakdowns. Snowmobilers on Mackinac Island, Michigan are stepping up in a big way by helping with Meals on Wheels deliveries, and yes — sleds are even rolling through the drive-thrus. It just goes to show what happens when riders are respectful and valued in their communities. We also talk about the upcoming indoor Vintage Sled Show & Shine in Minnedosa, Manitoba, and we’re planning to be...

Behind The Groomer: Are We Doing It Right?

2026/04/01

In this episode of Sled Talk, the guys cover everything from world records and military snowmobiles to trail grooming, stolen sleds, and engine rebuilds. They kick things off by revisiting our “Record Breakers and Movie Makers” episode, where Wasaga Beach made a run at the Guinness World Record books. Did they pull it off? The guys break down how it all turned out. From there, the conversation shifts to a surprising story about snowmobiles being used by Russia during attacks in Ukraine, and h...

Rant & Roll

Who knew Latvia was a snowmobiling powerhouse, yet there they are. We love the fact that Sled Talk is reaching all parts of the world. We give Sun & Snow a nice shout out after Rob teases them. The Amphibex ice crushers are back on the Red River busting things up to prevent ice flows from building up and flooding the river. They’re saving Winnipeg. Does it reach all the way back to Minneapolis? Uber was offering sled tours to people at the Milan Olympics. We reminisce on...

Fine and Dandy

2026/03/04

We kick off teasing an old friend of ours about the issues he was having with his sled prior to going for a ride. The Quebec Provincial Police with the QFSC’s did a crackdown on sledders handing out 260 tickets including a bunch for intoxication from drugs or alcohol. There are more snowmobilers than bikers in Quebec. Who knew? Ontario is also cracking down on exhaust cans. Are the fines high enough? We debate the value of these cans, and fine amounts. The South Inter...

Record Breakers and Movie Makers

We dive right into the increased enforcement we are seeing right across the country. The tickets are flying and fines are no fun. Arctic Cat has made a purchase. Widescape in now a part of the family. They look cool, but will they draw a following? It is nice to see them investing in the industry. Journey For Sight has done their 40th ride. The start in Flin Flon and end up in down in the South West corner of the province near the Turtle Mountains. The ride is over 600KM. The mone...

Think Before You Ride

Sled Talk ·

2026/02/04

Rob goes off on how many people have been killed or seriously injured this season. The stats he collected were from early January 2026 and far from complete yet very concerning. Then he and Steve get into an interesting community event in Elliot Lake ON. The town hall held a safety training course run by the OPP and made it an event with food, fun, and prizes. They both get into suspension service and how critical keeping an eye on your skid before, during, and after the season can change the...

Mistakes Were Made

Sled Talk ·

2026/01/21

We try to be accurate when sharing news or telling a story, but sometimes we slip up. We’re fine with being corrected and will adjust as necessary. Free February from Season 1 Episode 2 is an example of an oops. Trail passes are always required in Manitoba. Everyone has a Sled Cave that they are proud to work in. Cool caves usually attract a few more buddies to help work on your project or at least make sure the beer doesn’t get stale. We’d love to see pictures of yours. BRP (Skidoo)makes a l...

Monster Rides & Full Bellies

Sled Talk ·

2026/01/07

Sled people are usually some type of motorhead. Very seldom do you know a guy that only has a sled with no other toys. We’re both guilty of having all kinds of toys. We kick off the show talking about the roadster Rob recently bought and drove halfway across Canada desperately trying to beat the snow. We jump over to Taiga’s announcement of international distribution of their Nomad electric sled. Is electric the way of the future? We break down the value of having an electric sled. Have you e...

So This Is Christmas

Sled Talk ·

2025/12/24

Welcome to our Christmas episode. The Ontario government makes a huge contribution to snowmobiling. We break this story down getting into how important this move is. We are hoping more provinces follow this lead. Should vintage sleds see a trail pass discount? Vintage snowmobiling is a fast-growing part of the riding season. We chat about why it’s growing in popularity. There are several compelling reasons why this should be examined by the powers in control of this. Let’s hear from you on th...

Myths and Mayhem

Sled Talk ·

2025/12/10

Can you imagine, an argument about who’s more reliable Skidoo or Polaris? That’s how it began. Are barn finds a myth? Steve’s a believer. Rob’s not so sure, he thinks there are ulterior reasons. There might be some junk in barns, but a true barn find must have some value. Jimmy makes a couple of appearances. He found out the hard way that slush is a tough slog, and the rules we had to create for rides with him. What was he thinking, is James Bond a sled thief? We also have an update on the wo...

We get right into a couple stories from our misspent youth. We learned at the school of hard knocks. We discuss Polaris moving away from motorcycles to focus on off road vehicles. We review our off-camera conversation with Terris Baran of Safety Services Manitoba. We missed a lot when the camera was off. Jimmy is never far from our thoughts, and he once again provides some entertainment. Steve is exploring the idea of hosting a vintage Poker Derby. Give us your feedback on this. It might be t...

Be Safe Out There

2025/11/12

We sat down with the show’s first guest Terris Baran of Safety Services Manitoba. He was fantastic!!! Terris has a large amount of experience with sleds as a 40+ year rider, and years on the drag racing track. Are you dressed for success on the snow? How about your helmet? We take a dive into the different brain buckets out there. There is never a downside to additional training. No matter your age or skill level you will always learn something new. When riding as a group with different exper...

Vintage Classic Antique Oh My

Sled Talk ·

2025/10/29

We started out trying to define vintage sleds. This is a topic we want to hear from you on. The first ever Turtle Mountain grass drags (both sleds were evenly matched), slider lube, and the hazards of hay bales on the strip. What could happen for future events. We cover a concerning topic. Trail closures are happening across Ontario for several reasons, but as always funding plays a big role. Ste. Agathe announced a new warm up shack after the summer forest fires destroyed the ori...

Giving Thanks For Snowmobiling

Because everything after Thanksgiving is a little stretched, we felt we best keep with the times. We cover a lot of ground in this episode. Starting with the great debate. Which manufacturer is the best….. We even talked about manufacturers who were ahead of their time and many that are long past. In Tech Tips we go comfortably into suspensions from inspection to set ups. The conversation goes into new tech and to riders getting ripped off by trusted professionals. You won’t want ...

Stories from the Snowbank

2025/04/02

Over the 30 + years we've been riding there have been quite a few remarkable moments. While we laugh now, in some cases we didn't laugh then.....well some of us didn't. Some people in our group found these situations hilarious. That joy usually added to the misery. We've shared a few of those stories in this episode.
