Snafu has done things differently at the Interbike shows and also thins year they doing things their own way. McGoo explains what the plans are: SNAFU's shown in the BMX zone once in our 9 years at Interbike. The reason we don't set up a booth at Interbike is two-fold:
A) because we don't sell dealer-direct, we can't give shops who are interested in our products straight answers on things like inventory, colors, prices, shipping terms, etc. These answers have to come from our US distributors
B) Our US distributors (Sidewall and SBS) show SNAFU merch in their booths, and both companies are well equipped to answer dealer questions similar to A) above.
