Its that time of year again when we start counting the weeks till the snow falls. It seems just like yes-

terday that we were putting together our first issue of Clinch, and an incredible number of things have

changed in the world of MotorFist since this time last year.

MotorFist has grown from a couple of people working out of remote offices into a proper company. We

now have a big office, a full staff of great people handling everything from sales to finances, our own

coffee machine and a modified Honda Ruckus scooter for general cruising around town and grabbing the

mail. But probably the biggest change is in the size of our line. Last year we basically tested the market

to see if snowmobilers were ready for what we had to offer. We produced the Rekon Jacket and Bib in

limited numbers for our first year and we were overwhelmed with the response. Many sizes quickly sold

out and we couldn't believe the positive feedback received from snowmobilers and dealers alike. This

proved to us that the industry was definitely ready for specialized outerwear that offers great perfor-

mance, longevity and value.

The design and production staff has been working around the clock on a whole slew of new garments.

As you will see in the gear section of this magazine, the line is greatly expanded, and aside from helmets

and boots it includes pretty much everything a snowmobiler needs to stay dry, comfortable and safe in

the backcountry.

One of our primary goals when designing our gear was to ensure that the clothing is not obtrusive to your

snowmobiling experience. If you have to think about your gear while you are on the snow then there is

something wrong and it’s not working correctly. There are many more important things to think about;

like what line you are going to take through those trees or how you really don't want to drop into that

steep bowl. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that you won't be too hot, too cold, too wet and

that the gear fits correctly so that you can be thinking about the amazing experience of snowmobiling

and not thinking about how quickly you can get back to the lodge and out of this soaking wet jacket. Our

fabrics have been carefully selected to meet the unique temperature and moisture demands of snow-

mobiling and painstakingly patterned to ensure that the fit is right for the great majority of riders. Our

internal testing has shown that we met our goals and we hope that you agree. With a greatly enhanced

line for 2011, like you, we can’t wait to get out on the snow!

This past year has been an incredible journey and none of it would have been possible without the

encouragement and amazing support of customers and friends like you and we thank you for this. We

welcome you to the MotorFist family and look forward to many more great experiences and successful

seasons.

May you have many more days of bottomless powder and bluebird skies.

See you on the snow.

Look for MotorFist on

A lot of time, effort and money went into producing this magazine, so please do not copy any part of it without prior written consent from MotorFist. If you do copy it we will send our ambulance chasing lawyers after you and we will not be responsible for what they do. It will be bad! So for all our sakes, just play by the rules and keep this publica-tion away from photocopiers, scanners and other reproductive devices. Do not try to replicate any of the riding and stunts seen in this magazine. The riders pictured are trained professionals (sort of). While snowmobiling always wear a helmet and other protective equipment and do not ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol. However riding under the influence of adrenaline is perfectly fine. When riding in the mountain areas always carry avalanche equipment; bea-con, shovel and probes. Before riding make sure you and your riding partners know how to operate the beacons.Ride safe and have fun!

Nascar is all right but they only turn left and if it weren't for the

wrecks and the fact that it is really easy to follow when your

hammered we don't think anyone would ever watch it. Motocross

is better but the little single cylinder Japanese engines are a bit

small. Imagine taking the big engines, wrecks and close racing

from Nascar and mixing it with the dirt, jumps of Motocross. How

»Off Season AnticsShort Course TrucksRacing doesn't get much better.

cool would that be? Well that is pretty much they have done with

short course off road racing.

We had our first experience with short course racing this past

summer when the Lucas Oil Off Road series came to Miller

Motorsports Park in Utah. Cool doesn't even come close to

describing this form of racing. The vehicles are purpose built

spaceframe trucks housing a 900 hp V8 and long travel suspen-

sion all enclosed in a fiberglass body. The bodies however are

pretty much a waste of time as they get broken by other trucks

and fly off, rarely lasting more than a few laps. The racing takes

place on a mile long dirt course with jumps, rhythm sections,

tabletops, doubles and berms. The trucks are driven by a bunch of

adrenaline junkies with backgrounds ranging from Baja racing to

freestyle motocross. The result is arguably the most exciting rac-

ing you could ever imagine. Huge air, full throttle sideways turns,

big wrecks and fires are all pretty common in the races. With an

overabundance of horsepower and carnage it really doesn't get

much better. Its like a motorheads wet dream!

Building clothing is a lot like making a meal, the quality of the end

product is only as good as the ingredients. When we started Motor-

Fist we had a choice, we could open the fridge and pick the closest

foods and throw together a quick sandwich or we could search out

the absolute best ingredients available and put together a quality

product that will perform and last for many years. So while not the

cheapest and easiest option we decided to seek out the absolute

best technology ingredients on the market to put into our clothes.

We have used our experience as snowmobilers to design our gar-

ments and had them built in the best factories we could find. Our

logic is simple, if we have good designs that are well built using the

best materials the finished garments will be very high quality and

capable of ensuring our customers will stay warm and dry for many

seasons to come.

Fabric is the main ingredient in any item of clothing and when it

comes to clothing that will be worn in the snow the choice of fab-

rics is absolutely key to ensuring that the wearer will stay warm

and dry. We knew that we needed a fabric that would be water-

proof enough to keep the rider dry in those wet snow days but

also a fabric that breathes enough to allow the rider to not soak

in his own sweat. There really aren't many fabrics that are both

waterproof and breathable at the same time. There are no short-

age of claims about waterproof and breathability and while water-

proofness is fairly easy to test, breathability on the other hand

requires much more complex testing procedures. We found some

test results of waterproof/breathable membrane fabrics that were

conducted by the US Army at the Natick Soldier Systems Center. In

these tests the Armny tested all the major fabrics and eVent fabric

came out on top. Not only was eVent� highly waterproof but was

twice as breathable as most of the other fabrics. We figured that

eVent was good enough to clothe a bunch of machine gun wielding

soldiers and send them to all ends of the earth then it was prob-

ably good enough for us to wear snowmobiling. Another reason

we were drawn to eVent� is that they are a subsidiary of General

Electric. After Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb his companies

merged and became GE, today GE is one of the worlds largest com-

panies and a leading innovator of energy efficiency among many

other things.

»Technically SpeakingA Breath of Fresh AirWarm and dry from the the inside out

Competitive Membrane

the bubbler test compares the breathability of two waterproof membranes. See the bubbler test in action at www.motorfist.com

You may be asking why we are so concerned about breathability

when our gear is typically used in cold conditions, surely warmth

and waterproofness is more important than breathability. While

waterproof is very important it is not hard to find materials that

are waterproof. If that is all we were concerned with then we would

make garments out of trash sacks. However if we did that then

the wearer would quickly soak themselves in their own sweat. Your

body naturally sweats as a way of regulating body temperature

and during intensive sports such as snowmobiling your body can

produce up to half a gallon of sweat per hour. This sweat needs a

way to leave the body as quickly as possible

It is pretty amazing how breathable membrane fabrics work.

Typically the membrane is made from PTFE which is essentially

plumbers tape, the PTFE has lots of microscopic holes all over it.

These holes are sized so that the larger water molecules from the

outside cannot get through but the smaller sweat gas molecules

from the inside can escape. The PTFE membrane itself works very

well but unfortunately it is very fragile and can be easily clogged

by oils and skin particles. Therefore, the PTFE must be protected

and most membrane manufacturers simply laminate a thin layer of

polyurethane over the top. While this gives the PTFE the protection

it needs to hold up to regular use it takes away a lot of the mem-

branes breathability. What makes eVent� so unique is that they

figured out a way to coat the individual fibers of PTFE with polyure-

thane so that the PTFE is protected but still has open pores so that

it can breathe. The result is the most breathable membrane fabric

on the market and one that is currently rocking the outdoor indus-

try. Companies such as Nike, Teva and Oakley are using eVent� in

their products and MotorFist is very happy to have an exclusive in

the snowmobile industry with this amazing fabric allowing us to

offer a new level of waterproofness and breathability to snowmo-

bilers with our Rekon line.

Our obsessive attention to detail doesn't end with the fabrics. We

also wanted to ensure that all the other components in our clothing

were the best available. We have had the frustrating experience of

dealing with zippers failing on other clothing prior to MotorFist and

realized that quality zippers are essential. YKK is the worlds largest

producer of zippers and have become number one by producing

very high quality zippers. We use YKK exclusively on our outer-

wear. All zippers on the outside of the garment are waterproof zip-

pers that are sealed with a waterproof membrane. The Velcro on

our garments is genuine Velcro brand hook and loop fastening and

the specific type of Velcro has been selected to ensure that it will

last for many seasons. Some of our garments also feature reflec-

tive tape from 3M. We also use Thinsulate insulation from 3M in our

Valkyrie and WOT gloves. Thinsulate uses unique microfibers that

trap air molecules between materials. These air molecules provide

incredibly efficient insulation for a small volume of material.

Sourcing all of these different high-end products definitely hasn't

been easy. However, we know that our attention to detail is

extremely important to guarantee that our gear is of the highest

quality available so that you will remain dry and warm for many

seasons to come. We love to snowmobile just as much as you do

and know that quality clothing is essential to getting maximum

enjoyment from the incredible sport of snowmobiling.

Noble GasesFlatulence from the King of France. OK, not really.

Snowmobiler GlossaryEnhance your snowmobiling IQ

While on scuba diving in Brazil, BYU graduate Nate Alder discov-

ered that divers use noble gases in dry suits to insulate themselves

from the cold waters. As an avid snowboarder and outdoor enthu-

siast this application of noble gases sparked an idea for a busi-

ness opportunity. A lot of hard work and several years later Nate

is now at the helm of a fast growing company called Klymit that

is constantly developing new applications for their NobleTek gas

adjustable insulation. Klymit offers a range of vests that feature

inflatable gas chambers that are filled with NobleTek insulation.

This unique form of insulation is three times as efficient per inch

of insulation than conventional insulations and the level of insula-

tion can be easily adjusted by adding more gas or letting some

out. Recalling some of those unpleasant times that each of the

Motor- Fist team has experienced while being stuck on the snow for

hours waiting for machines to be repaired, life-flight helicopters

to arrive, storms to blow over, or the sun to come up, we came up

with the concept of a vest that can be used for extra insulation in

any emergency situation. We are proud to introduce, as an industry

first, the MotorFist Surviva-Vest. A groundbreaking product that

we hope we are never forced to use, but are confident if needed

while stuck and inactive for hours in the snow, might possibly be a

lifesaver. Now we are just waiting to see what Nate comes up with

on his next vacation.

Check out the vest on page 35.

BACKFLIPS

Every sport has that one huge annual event, whether it be the Superbowl, Daytona, Baja all these events have one thing in common.

If you're an enthusiast you can't miss it. For snowmobilers our big hoorah is the Jackson Hole Hillclimbs. Every spring the small ski-

town of Jackson hole gets bombarded by thousands of snowmobilers coming from all over to witness the carnage on the hill, party

like Rockstars and generally get their last dose of snowmobiling before the snow melts for the summer.

ROCKS, BEER &The Jackson Hole Hillclimbs

If you've got a six pack you've gotta show it off, even if it is while upside down while jumping a freestyle ramp.

Zollinger is without doubt the most successful surname in hillclimb-ing and its not just because there is a whole army of them its because they can ride like this.

It doesn't get much better than a seat grab indian air and a backflip over a beautiful Jackson sunset.

Some racers ride with legs flailing as they try to keep the machine going the direction they want. Scott thompson however keeps his feet planted and moves his upper body, this style is definitely working for him as he is one of the fastest racers currently on the rmShA circuit.

Not matter how many times you have seen a snowmobile backflip it is always amazing to watch. here heath frisby flips his Ski-doo at the ocatane Addictions freestyle show.

more often than not the hill wins at Jackson as was the case with dennis durmas's run. his poor Polaris bounced of several rocks before flying down the hill and being caught in the safety net.

the enormous truck motorfist f-650 six door brings a whole new meaning to the term big truck.

Jennifer Jacobson pilots the motorfist ranger while Josh Skinner and Adam Scott try to hang-on while launching t-shirts to the eager freestyle crowd.

the double black diamond ski runs of the Snow King resort are closed to skiers as snowmobile racers attempt to ride their machines up and over the top. In mountain snowmobiling Jackson is the ultimate challenge and even these days there is still only a small group of riders who have ever made it over the top. the hill is incredibly long and steep, and on low snow years like 2010 the rocks cause a major problem. here Carson ellingford tries to navigate his machine through the vertical rock section near the top known as the rock garden.

Summer doesn't suck when you can still snowmobile.

In June we are usually riding motorcycles and hanging out at the lake enjoying the warm summer weather. When we packed our sleds away in march we thought the snowmobile season was over for the year. but thanks to some late spring snow and a lot of elevation we were able to get out on the sleds for one last ride on June 22nd.

the Winter of 2009 was a strange one. the snow never came until later in the winter and it seem like every time we went out there was powder with no base and weeds showing through. this december like early season snow was around pretty much all winter. the snow got pretty good for a few weeks in late february before the temperatures started rising in march and the snow quickly turned into slushy spring snow. We had a couple of spring like rides around the time of Jackson hill Climbs and after that put the sleds away for the year assuming the winter was over. I took a vacation to texas to get some sun and get some r&r before the motorcycle season started in a few weeks. Pretty much as soon as I left for texas I started getting calls from buddies talking about epic powder back home. Winter had finally showed up when it should have been spring. things got busy with motorcycling and I never went back out in the snow again.

Until June. We heard some rumors about guys still riding in Wyo-

ming in June and with a pile of MotorFist prototype clothing needing

photographed on the snow we decided to load the sleds and head

out again. It was a strange feeling to be going back on the snow

again in the same season after a two month break and it was even

more weird to be hauling sleds while everyone else on the road was

in full summer mode; hauling boats or riding Harley.

Surprisingly there is still quite a bit of snow up high even in June but

it's just hard to reach. In Wyoming there is a lot of altitude and at

higher elevations the snow stays around sometimes all year round.

It is tough to find a location however that has a road that you can

drive a truck close to this snow because obviously you cant ride a

snowmobile too far on dirt.

Our first attempt at summer snowmobiling didn't go so well. We

headed into the mountains with the truck and sleds in tow and were

getting pretty close to the snow when we came across fallen trees

blocking the trail. Apparently a couple of days earlier a massive

storm had come through and knocked over huge trees everywhere.

We also saw some half melted hail stones that were about the size

of quarters. So who knows how big they were when they first fell a

few days previous. We tried to clear a path through the debris by

chain sawing through the logs but we just came across more fallen

trees further up the trail. There were fallen trees everywhere and

it would have taken days to clear a path up to the snow. We were

forced to accept that nature had defeated us and head back for

home. Epic failure.

While on our first attempt we didn't even get the sleds off the trailer

we knew that there was potential for an epic ride. So we decided

to try again and make a real trip of it. This time we took a camper

trailer and a 4x4 motor home and headed into the mountains for

a snowmobile camping trip. Our goal was to get shots of the new

product in action and get away from the emails and cell phone for

a couple of days and have some fun. We came home with several

gigabytes worth of images and some great stories. Mission accom-

plished.

1 As the sun began to set we climbed up to a summit and pho-

tographed the setting sun over the mountains. Without doubt it

was one of the most incredible views any of us had ever seen. We

photographed some of the gear using a strobe to light the subject,

photographically it was absolutely amazing and one of those rare

times when everything looked perfect and the result was some

very dramatic looking shots.

2 While hitting a jump for the camera Foster got a bit off line and

to avoid nailing the photographer he pitched his sled into the trees.

The sled came to an abrupt stop when it hit a tree and "Chicken"

Foster got ejected through the trees and down the hill. The sled

amazingly came away with only a few scratches, Foster wasn't hurt

badly but he had some bruises and it took all the confidence out of

him. Getting the sled out of trees wasn't easy but with the help of

Fosters rope and pulley system that he packs it was slightly easier

but still took four of us.

3 Foster did some unscheduled durability testing of the new eVent

Rekon fabric. The scathing with the tree left a lot of bark on the

coat but the fabric didn't rip or tear at all.

4 Skinner loves short track sleds like a fat kid likes cake. He had

a blast riding Brads battle scarred Rev MXZ and while its not the

prettiest of sleds we figured it was a fitting ride to showcase our

value priced Recession Jacket and Pants.

5 Brad got really into the jumping and kept going bigger and big-

ger over the two days. However the skid on his XP had other ideas,

and after a few sideways landings the track slipped off the rails.

Game over for the XP.

6 There was a huge pond that Foster and Brad had been eyeing

the whole time we had been there. And as we headed back to

camp for the last time the inevitable water-skipping began. And

skip they did, the boys went further and spun tighter doughnuts

until both sleds had been pretty much sunk and they were com-

pletely soaked.

LUKE Rainey isn't a factory racer with a pit crew and racing out of a polished factory

race semi. He is a hometown Wyoming snowmobiler who works hard in the oil

fields and spends his spare time riding and racing snowmobiles. But Luke is

making waves in the RMSHA paddock with his recent results and is poised to be the next big name in

snowmobile hill climb racing.

This little known racer from the small town of Thayne, Wyoming showed up at the Jackson Hillclimb's

last year with two well used Ski-Doo's and a lifted Dodge Cummins. The RMSHA tech guys gave him a

hard time because his sleds were so well used that they were down on compression. The motors should

have been producing about 120 psi of compression but Luke had put so many miles on the sleds prac-

ticing that they were down to about 108 psi. All weekend Luke sat at the bottom of the hill with a set

of binoculars and watched every single run. "Rick Budge, my mentor, kept telling me just go fast and

smooth, fast and smooth. So that's what I did." A lack of horsepower didn't seem to affect Luke, as he

went on to dominate the stock classes taking overall wins in the 600, 700 and 800 classes.

While new to the podium of the Jackson Hill Climbs Luke has been around snowmobiles his whole life.

He grew up in Etna, Wyoming and started riding a Polaris 680 Ultra with his dad Lloyd when he was

about eleven. Living in a small mountain town there wasn't a whole lot to do in the winter except for

riding snowmobiles so Luke rode Black Mountain behind his house pretty much everyday. After years

of backcountry riding Luke had a buddy who got into hill climb racing and convinced Luke to give it a

try in 2006. "My first race was at Preston and I covered more terrain going back and forth on that hill

than you can imagine. Racing was a lot different than riding in the backcountry." Over the years Luke's

racing gradually improved and he began getting some support from Ski-Doo. But in 2010 at the Jackson

Hill Climbs Luke really shocked everyone with his results.

In an era of facebook, twitter and websites Luke is a rare breed. He sticks to what he does best and that

is riding snowmobiles. He works ten days straight on a drilling rig in the Wyoming oil fields and spends

his ten days off riding. "No matter what, I always ride for two hours a day but usually more. Sleds in the

winter and motocross to stay in shape in the summer". This guy doesn't even have an email address,

"I ain't got time for the damn computer all I do is ride." So while you probably won't find Luke on Face-

book you can almost guarantee that you will see him on the RMSHA podium this year.

In 2011 Luke will be running Ski-Doo's and is excited to ride the new E-Tec 800 Freeride. He will be rac-

ing all the RMSHA stock classes along with a mod class. When asked about his competition Luke told

us that Polaris racer Keith Curtis is his target, "that kid is way fast and is winning everything just now. I

don't like to see Polaris win that much so hopefully I can change that". With these two young racers on

brand new machines battling head to head 2011 should be an exciting year for RMSHA racing. We are

sure this isn't the last you will hear of Luke Rainey.

Our premium outerwear the Rekon series is

improved with a new waterproof and breath-

able fabric from eVent�, this fabric was picked

based on Military test results that showed eVent� as the most

breathable and waterproof available. The Rekon line also benefits

from changes to the fit and construction. Also new for 2011 is the

Sidehill pullover, the Rekon pant and several new jacket colors.

With economic tough times effecting us all we set out to build a

less expensive jacket and pant for snowmobile riders who want

affordable quality gear. The Recession line offers incredible value

with a Toray two-layer waterproof and breathable outer shell along

with high quality standard MotorFist features like YKK� zippers,

taped seams and double stitching.

Everyone needs a jacket that can be worn anywhere, one that is

just as capable of being worn on the snow as it is being worn run-

ning around town. The Hell Roaring is our answer for that versatile

piece of clothing. Featuring a waterproof and windproof soft shell

fabric and a casual cut the Hell Roaring is stylish and functional in

a range of conditions.

The key to getting the best performance from MotorFist outerwear

is layering with the correct garments underneath. Wearing your

old Levi's and flannel shirt underneath our gear pretty much defies

the whole purpose the clothing is designed to do. So new for 2011 is

a line of base and mid layer garments designed specifically to work

with our outerwear. The Hydrophobic base layer jacket and pant

has a special fabric that will wick the sweat away from your body

allowing the moisture to vent out the outerwear. And for those

The2011

We are so confident in our clothing that we offer a 5 year bluebird guarantee on all our outer-wear. So for 5 years we will replace or repair your gear should you have any type of problem with it, in addition to this we will send you a replacement jacket, pant or bib for you to wear while your damaged item is being repaired. We understand that the snowmobile season is short and with this guarantee you should never miss a day on the snow because of a clothing repair.

The 2011 MotorFist Collection is larger and better than ever. With 24 brand new garments the line has everything you need to stay dry and warm, no matter what mother nature throws at you on your backcountry adventures. And with several new garments and colorways our line has plenty of style to keep you looking good.

days when temperatures are lower the fleece Turnagain jacket and

pant offers more insulation and warmth.

Keeping your hands warm and dry is a major part of being com-

fortable while snowmobiling. So we set out to design a line of

gloves that would satisfy riders in any conditions whether it be rid-

ing at 100 mph in sub zero temperatures or mountain riding on a

warm spring day. For those really chilly days there is the Valkyrie

insulated gauntlet glove, the WOT glove is for riders looking for a

waterproof and breathable glove with good dexterity and the Kill

Switch is a lightweight windproof glove.

The backcountry can be a very cold and miserable place especially

during the night and unfortunately every once in a while it happens

that riders are forced to spend the night on the snow. We decided

to build an emergency product that would help keep you warm in

the most frigid conditions. The Surviva Vest has inflatable cham-

bers that can be filled with Argon gas providing an extremely effi-

cient insulator from the cold. The vest can be either worn on the

body underneath a jacket or laid out flat on the snow to insulate

your body from the cold snow underneath. In an emergency situ-

ation the incredible insulation that the Surviva Vest offers could

be a lifesaver.

Along with a greatly expanded line of outer, mid and base layer

technical garments our designers have also been busy develop-

ing a line of casual wear for when you're not on the snow. There

are several styles of hoodies, t-shirts and hats for both men and

women.

Only the finest of materials could be used in our top of the line Rekon Jacket. Rid-

ers who insist on the performance and breathability that only USA made eVent�

Fabrics can provide will appreciate all that the Rekon Jacket has to offer. This

military spec fabric was rated #1 in waterproof/breathable testing (by a large

margin) and has the US Military study stamp of approval. Fully loaded with fea-

tures, custom tailoring and fine finish. This jacket has all the bases covered. The

Rekon (or Reckon if you're from our neck of the woods) is loaded, tough, fully

optioned and ready for the challenge.

Bib leaves no room for "some". Constructed of

US Military spec and approved eVent� fabric,

it is not only tough enough to carry you into

Being flexible and nimble on the hill can

be critical to some, so we are excited

this year to introduce the new Rekon

pant. Maintaining the high standard of

the Rekon line but with the advantage

of less bulk and weight, this custom

patterned and designed pant will find a

loyal following and is a welcome addition

to the Rekon lineup. Still fully featured

with options and materials not found

anywhere in the snowmobile industry

such as a solid three layer eVent� fabric,

where others use only two, the Rekon

pant is in a class by itself.

.XB-80 Valkyrie was a nuclear high altitude bomber secretly developed by the US government. The Valkyrie Glove was inspired by this con-

cept as a high or low altitude glove that takes on the harshest elements and the coldest temperatures. Whether on the lake at 90mph or at

12,000 feet in cold temperatures, the Valkyrie is design to withstand the onslaught. A full waterproof leather palm makes this a glove rivaled

by none in its durability. If your headed for trouble in the elements, the Valkyrie is your wingman.

added protection to your elbows and knees while crawling under your sled for the

How to Measure (all measurements in inches)

CHEST - Measure around the chest at its fullest part, typically right under the armpits. Tape tension should allow for comfortable breathing but not sag across the back.

SLEEVE - With arm extended, measure from the center of the neck base to the wrist.

WAIST - Measure around your waist at the level where you would normally wear your pant’s belt. Don't be alarmed if this measurement seems larger than expected; pant sizes are normally labeled as being smaller than what they really are.

INSEAM - Without shoes on, measure from the lowest part of the crotch area to the floor.

GLOVES - Measure around the palm of the dominant hand at the widest part.

»Aperture Aftermaththe goal of every sport photographer is to capture the action at the precise moment in time when the action is at its peak and the scene looks perfect. however even though the shutter captures the image at the perfect time it doesn't always end so well. As was the case with Wyatt Young on his M8 turbo in our cover shot. fourteen year old Wyatt is the son of the "turbo godfather" and founder of Boondocker Rocky Young, Wyatt has only been rid-ing for a couple of years but riding with his dad along with the boondocker crew of Jared Sessions and brett rasmussen he has been forced to learn quickly. We scoped out this shot on a ride at

Sheep Creek and Wyatt wasted no time in being the first one to make a line up through the rock, however he didn't really have much of a plan for a line past the rock, with a big cliff in front of him and his turbo at full boost the sled pretty much rolled over backwards and rolled down the hill over a small cliff. Somehow Wyatt and the sled survived the incident with nothing more than a couple of scratches; Wyatt was quickly back on the sled and away picking out more ridiculous lines. Young and reckless with a big horsepower sled Wyatt is definitely entertaining to watch.

is the most breathable [anti-sweat]waterproof material we’ve ever worn. - Backpacker Magazine

*We didn't believe a bunch of backpacking hippies so we tested the anti-sweat claims ourselves on some hot sand in July and in the 15° powder of January. Our experience backs up the Army Natick Team testing that proved eVent is the most breathable, anti-sweat water-proof material on earth. This advanced fabric has been unleashed in the Rekon line by MotorFist.
