Who knows that's too far in the future!
What was your career plan before your current career took off?
I wanted to be a Supercross mechanic if my whole snowmobile gig didn't turn out!
What goals have you set for yourself for next year?
Well first off, get Burandt so retarded stuck he has to have 5 guys to help him out. I'm going to push myself like never before to have a sick segment in Slednecks 13
How did you originally get involved with Slednecks?
I filmed a lot with Clay and I annoyed Burandt all winter. Hopefully my riding and attitude had something to do with it!
If you could be any superhero which one would it be and why?
I would choose the hulk because if anyone messed with me I would just throw them like 4 miles!
After a major accident or injury, what motivates you to get back?
Hopefully I'm not in that situation any more and I can just be dialed, but when you're pushing it who knows. Watching moto and sled movies usually gets me going after I'm down!
With all of the advancement of snowmobiles in the past years what has been your favorite improvement?
Also what improvement are you looking forward to?
I would definitely have to say suspension has come the farthest in the past years so it my favorite! I'm really looking forward to the turbo in the near future they will be easier to tune and stay tuned and hopefully cheaper for the consumers so they can experience that 70 mph skis 4 feet in the air rush that I live for!
What is the best safety feature available now?
I'm thinking the new neck braces from Leatt and EVS... I'm getting one!

Don't ever let someone put your dreams down... do what feels right in life and have faith in yourself! Most important, dream big and go even bigger!
If you could choose any sport to be a professional at what would you choose and why?
Snowmobiling... that's why I'm here!

Props... one gnarly dude!
What are your thoughts on Robbie Knievel?
Still very gnarly but he had more suspension and technology than his pops did.
What can you do to keep current riding areas open to the public?
Know where the boundaries are, pick up your trash! We don't need a worse rap sheet then we already have!

Why do you do what you do?
My passion in life is snowmobiling... I grew to love it with my dad and brothers. I'm in my element. I feel free. I feel invincible. I can do whatever I want. No rules. No limits. No worries. No stress. No responsibility. I love pushing myself, scaring myself, and adrenaline is my drug of choice. Snowmobiling is how I let my frustrations out and just go have fun! That is why I snowmobile.
