The Cardboard Classic is a coveted tradition. This hilarious event features elaborate sleds made by loyal listeners and fans of the Preston & Steve Show. Sled-building teams come together to think up the funniest and most fantastic ideas for sleds. Sometimes, builders think of putting hidden messages in or on their sleds.
Whether it's a message for good luck or something to make the participants laugh on their way down, hidden messages are a tradition on Cardboard Classic sleds. These messages aren't overt. They are typically in or on the sled for only the riders to see. We happened to notice a few of these by looking closely.
Some of these "messages" are just Easter eggs (hidden references or jokes) that we find funny. You may have missed these as they were zooming past you down the mountain or in the pictures posted.
These little hand-written blurbs on the sleds add to their charm. Being handmade, they truly reflect the people who put in the time to work on them. Each cardboard piece, stroke of paint, and strip of tape have their own story. The little messages are put on without the intention of people noticing them right away. That's what makes them feel special.
Here are 9 of the great hidden messages in or on Cardboard Classic sleds:
These Bowling Scores
Gina CosenzaIf you take a closer look at this score chart, you'll have a laugh. For one, the sasquatch is KILLING the other competitors in bowling. Kathy's score is also hilarious.
First Place Feathers
Gina CosenzaOur first-place design winner, The Gene Simmons Chicken sled, had some really awesome details worked in. For example, these "WMMR" and "PS" "feathers" that are not noticeable unless viewed up close.
The Date On The DeLorean
Check out the date this DeLorean is going back to...the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl.
This...Interesting Reminder
Gina CosenzaWhat else is there to say? This sled is modelled after Theodore Tugboat, but some had some...suggestive...questions about his shape. This message clears it right up!
Easter Eggs on The Dashboard
Gina CosenzaThis dashboard on the Trans-Am sled has a couple of Easter Eggs. See if you can spot them. Our favorite is obviously the radio tuned to 93.3!
BamBam Trans-Am
Gina CosenzaThis sneaky sticker placement on the Trans-Am sled made us smile. The BamBam love made its way all the way up Montage.
Heartfelt Message on the Dino
Gina CosenzaWritten in green marker, this message on the Dino sled was very sweet.
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Gina CosenzaLola is the daughter of one of the builders on the "Documents from the White House" sled. She helped paint and design the sled, so she was represented right on the inside for all to see.
The Inside Of The Yellow Submarine
Gina CosenzaAnother helper made her mark! The daughter of one of the sled builders on the Yellow Submarine sled helped to decorate the inside, rainbow paint splatters and all. She even signed her name nice and big for us and the riders to see.
