According the Great Falls Tribune, a blog on the Winter X-Games, the world championship of extreme sports, features Billings snowmobile freestyle rider Sam Rogers, who is in two X-Games events this year. Look for the post and followups titled “Jolly Rogers”.
We (Rothwell and Company) were one of the sponsors of the Great Falls Sled-Fest and got to meet Sam when he was in Great Falls earlier this year. What a great guy and a true athlete! The strength and daring it takes to manhandle those snowmobiles is awesome.
The Tribune has some great pictures of Sam in action when he was in Great Falls at their photo gallery link here.
According to the Tribune:
To see Snowmobile Speed & Style, a combination of tricks and circuit racing, watch Friday nite January 24th from 7-9 p.m. MST on ESPN, cable channel 31 in Great Falls.
To see the Freestyle Competition (which should be WAY FUN!) watch preliminary rounds airing from noon-4 p.m. Sunday January 26th on ESPN. The finals air from 7-9 p.m. that day.
GO SAM!!!!
