Good Morning from cold as hell Montana,
Winter has arrived, the workouts are intensifying, and I am fully prepped and ready for the upcoming competition season. With temperatures here in Butte dipping below zero at night I have begun thinking about those blower powder days and the smell of two stroke fuel burning. I have been flipping and riding a ton this summer and fall and feel confident that my skills are in place for the big show, Winter X.
I was looking through photos from last winter and thinking about what is to come from the winter ahead. One thing stuck in my mind from last winter, is our trip to Russia. The shows we performed behind the iron curtain with the SCS Crew were mind blowing. One of our close friends and sponsors, Montaqua Dave, not only produces the best tasting water in all the west, he also has written a nice little synopsis of our events in Russia. So thanks Dave, I wanted to share this piece with the fans to get everyone excited about our next trip to Europe!
Excerpt
Some people hibernate during the winter but others live to play in the snow. The SCS Sledstyle Crew does more than play, they continually push the sport of freestyle snowmobiling to new heights. Most winters are pretty crazy for these guys but the last 4 months might just top them all…
Anticipation for X Games 13 had been persistently building since the close of last year’s event. The SCS Crew trained and planned diligently for the last 12 months getting ready to show the world how their sport was evolving. The preparation intensified in December & January when a practice facility was built in Idaho and white powdery flakes began to fall.
Fanatic spectators ascended upon Aspen in record numbers for X Games 13 to watch the world’s greatest extreme athletes defy the laws of gravity. The SCS Crew was in full force building the sickest freestyle course in the competition’s history and then dominating the medal podiums. SCS’s founder, Steve Miller, engineered and built the course while SCS Riders Heath Frisby & Joe Parsons won medals.
The X Games had barely come to a close when Heath Frisby received a call from Travis Pastrana. With the SCS Sledstyle motorhome loaded with sleds & Montaqua, the group headed south to meet up with Travis & his zany crew of top action sport athletes. Frisby had been invited to Utah to personally coach Pastrana on flipping a snowmobile for the Nitro Circus show on MTV.
With that in mind, I plan on bringing you the best content I can generate this winter, whether it is through social media, my new HD helmet cam from Vholdr, or through photos from all my friends and fans. I will soon be going to California to train at the Red Bull Facility and will have some awesome footage to go with it. Thanks to everyone for their help, and let’s get ready to rock this winter and make some history!
Cheers

Morning,
I received an email from a marketing person at the Winter X-Games office yesterday, and to my surprise I am now on a poster! They will be doing a short parody film, similar to something like the Airplane movies, to help get the word out about Winter X. Be on the look out for the ad, I couldn’t be more excited for winter now!

What’s Up,
So those nice guys at SCS Vinyl Works, who do my sled wraps thought of a nice little bonus for those who order new wraps. The first twenty orders come with a autographed poster by yours truly. So give that boyfriend, husband, wife, son, daughter, or redneck neighbor a new sled wrap for Xmas, and keep the poster for yourself!

What’s Up
Canada has been my new home for the last few weeks. As I’m sure you have all seen, that pretty little Astro van we bought has been serving us well. Simply to keep the miles off our own trucks, we bought that gem to abuse for our travels across the great white north. For anyone who hasn’t been to Canada I highly recommend you watch the movie Strange Brew. It accurately portrays what life in Canada is actually like.
Just kidding, we have been having a ton of fun setting up and breaking down the shows, driving all over the middle of no where, and listening to tons of music. I also got a little tattoo work done in Edmonton by Chris at Tattoo Showdown. I will keep you posted on what goes down at the events as the tour winds down. For now keep checking New Rock Live for all the contest results.

Canada is expensive, but hey have snow, so I like it. Even though hot wings and pizza were roughly $55, it’s good to be riding on snow rather than wood chips again. Tonight is the first night of the New Rock Live tour I have been talking about for some time. It’s a combination music/sledstyle tour across Canada. It’s a little like a winter Warped Tour for those of you in the US. I’m stoked to be a part of it and think tonight’s show is going to be sick. Isaac Sherbine and Keith Sayers are riding in the tour as well, so it’s really fun to ride with your best friends in foreign countries. Even though I think I have been in Canada every other weekend this summer. Check out this practice picture, that landing ramp is huge!

Morning,
SCS Wraps has been hard at work designing the new graphics for the upcoming winter, and I finally received my full sled kit. I think they look pretty rad, with a whole new theme to boot. It has been snowing like crazy here in the Wood River Valley with almost 12 inches up north. I think we actually skipped fall and went straight to winter, which is fine by me.
I am heading up to Butte, MT now to gather up all my sleds, gear, ramps etc from Keith Sayers house and packing for the New Rock Live Tour. The first stop is October 9, 2009; Medicine Hat Arena- Medicine Hat, Alberta. So get in your truck and drive up to watch the show

What’s Up,
Most of us sledstyle or FMX guys really aren’t too savvy when it comes to water sports. Sure we can sit on a boat and drink a beer or two, but most of us are snow or dirt based people. Well the weather here in Bellevue has been windy as all hell, so last weekend we headed north to Redfish Lake. This could be one of the most beautiful lakes in the west, and you don’t have to give up the creature comforts of life going there either. Some friends and family and I went up for a day in the crystal clear ice cold water, luckily right before it snowed. I gave this whole stand up paddle boarding craze a try, and I must say it is pretty fun. The balance needed to keep things upright and smooth it pretty intense. I just cruised around the lake on flat water, but after seeing those big wave videos I am more than impressed by the pros. You should give it a shot next time you give the chance.

Hey guys,
I wanted to point out a good blog that is related to sledstyle and snowmobiling in general. Julien has been great about putting up content for me, and I wanted to give him a shout out as well. This is the kind of site we need to grow, let’s make this sport as big as we can! Thanks Julien, and keep up the good work, even is you are in college right now!

My boys at SCS Vinyl Works did it once again, and I can’t wait to throw their new wrap on my sleds this winter. Check out their new page with the 2010 snowmobile wraps!
