We have a new found appreciation for snowmobile-related sports after watching this video.

Check out this great POV clip of Colten Moore's gold medal winning run at the 2015 Winter X Games in the Snowmobile Speed & Style competition. The pro-snowmobiler pulls off some gnarly (I think that's the term they use in the sport), gravity-defying tricks on his way to winning the tournament out-right. Some background information, Colten claimed the gold medal a year after his brother Caleb died tragically at the games. The skis on Caleb's snowmobile got caught in the ground as he was landing which caused him to flip before being hit by the snowmobile. He was the first person to die from injuries at the X-Games after he passed on in hospital. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqMVMkGxso8
