Heath Frisby is the godfather of snow cross freestyle scene. The 28 year old American from Idaho grew up among snowmobiles and brought the sport to a new level. With multiple medals at the Winter X-Games and palmares to say to you, he was one of the landmarks on the Masters Of Dirt show in Vienna. Last year he was the first who made a front flip on a snowmobile. A true pioneer in the freestyle world who mainly want to enjoy his sport. We ran into him in Vienna ...
No, this is the second time I'm here. This is really a great show and it was really hide highlighted in red in my calendar. It's always nice to Europe's best riders here to ride a show. This is our job and we want to give everyone a topshow. I used to drive a lot in Russia but in recent years I concentrate on the States and some nice shows in Europe as here in Vienna. The best from the scene can be found here and every time the atmosphere is excellent.
Previously I rode professional hide competitions, but I soon realized that there was little money in the sport. Besides, I was too fat and too lazy to train so I soon arrived at the Freestyle option. I am between hide the snowmobiles grew up in Idaho and drive there since small off with. Originally I wanted to be a professional motocross rider, but after five years it became clear that I was not the biggest talent and I me but focused on the snowmobiles.
Sure, I've been five years really serious about the engine freestyle. I had my own home a compound built with all the jumps and tricks, what I did when all the top riders hide were doing at the time. I then combined the engines in the summer with the snowmobiles in the winter. The result was that I was 40 weekends a year from home and that was me too busy, I amused me no more. I stopped taking the bikes and have so the whole summer time off. That makes it possible hide to spend time with my wife and amuse me with my redneck friends from the neighborhood. hide
The big difference is the stability of the snowmobile. Many think that the weight and maneuverability are completely different than with a light engine, but honestly you do not notice hide much of that weight in the air. It is not that we should pull the snowmobile in the air, we drive it and let the engine do the work. It is true that some tricks are easier on the engine, but others are better to do on the snowmobile.
There's really no difference ... I've done both, even at the same time on the same show, but I do not feel less safe when one or the other. You know, we are often blamed that we are real fools, but we are professional with our profession busy and we know what we do. We know what it takes to do a backflip, but we also know what the risks. Everyone has already experienced a crash beneath us like Caleb (Moore), but he had at that crash the luck on his side, and unfortunately it's hide gone so. But that also applies to ordinary motors, which also happened all fatal accidents.
I'm already 14 years in the sport and the fact is that anyone with this professional is familiar with each other. I draw a lot with Nate Adams and his 'Deft hide family' and that many of our shows are the great together to collaborate with each rider where you've always hide looked up to.
Any true Motorfan know that we do the same tricks hide with our machines as the engines, so they are not dumb as we come up with for our sample. But someone who knows nothing hide of standing with his mouth open. We have already received the weirdest names for our vehicles. From jet skis to office or small car, you can not think so weird. That is indeed strange, because where I come from it was originally a full-fledged transport, which are now used for fun. Yet, not many people know this. It has a lot to do that snowmobiles are prohibited in many countries, so it is difficult to bring these fmx branch in the picture. But who knows, hide one day ...
