pictures from Yakima Road Warrior Tour visit at Onion River Sports

Hey thought there might be some people out there that would enjoy these pics (attached below) of the Yakima Road Warrior Tour. The Yakima rack dawgz stopped by to see us at Onion River Sports in beautiful downtown Montpelier, Vermont!

They were driving a Subaru Tribeca which is the car sponsor of the nationwide Yakima Road Warrior Tour. It was set up with a Yakima LowRider roof rack system on the Subaru Tribeca cross bars. Attached to the LowRider roof rack cross bars was a very sweet Yakima SkyBox Pro cargo box. They also had a Yakima Mako Saddles kayak rack setup, along with the brand new Yakima ShowBoat roller system that makes it very easy to load a canoe or kayak onto any roof mount canoe rack or kayak rack. We got a demonstration on how easy it was to use the Yakima ShowBoat roller to load a kayak onto the Mako Saddles kayak rack.

Mounted to the Subaru Tribeca rear receiver hitch was the Yakima FlipSide hitch bike rack, which is also brand new for 2008. This is a unique hitch bike rack because the FlipSide can flip down to either side of the car and out of the way so it's easy to access the rear of the car.

very cool pictures of the Yakima Showboat kayak roller system. I've been looking at this as a kayak lift assistant for a while. Does anyone know where there might be some online videos showing a demo or something of how the Yakima Showboat works?

Check out the Car Rack Resources video department at http://www.videos.carrackresources.com/ where car rack video demonstrations are always being added. You can probably find a video of the Yakima Showboat roof rack roller system there.
