Side X Side Action Magazine

Did I miss something? Did Joyner go out of business? I was just flipping through the latest "Side X Side Action" issue and noticed that there is no Joyner vehicle included in the 2009 Shootout. They even have a few "kiddy toy" brands I've never heard of. What gives?

Joyner didn't want to make everyone look bad.

Not a good look for SXS mag. They have failed to kick on from last years Shootout by reducing the models, adding no name brands and spreading it over 4 months. Never mind, there's always next year and plenty of room to improve, but it does leave the door open for other magazines to do a UTV Shootout how it should be...........with independent experts doing the testing and specs and the journalists reporting the results. SXS use their journalists to test the UTVs and if you remember last year one couldn't change a manual gearbox in a Joyner and they gave 5 out of 5 for safety to the Rhino(the only utv to get this rating) only for the Rhino to be pulled off the market after 46 deaths. In this years shootout SXS has conveniently left out a safety section. Something smells and they need to gain trust if they want their mag survive. Side X Side Magazine, print facts and not what people want to read!

Cheers Mike.
