XHeavy Medal

Levi LaVallee
Levi started racing snowmobiles at the young age of 12. He saved money for his first snowmobile by bagging groceries. Levi then entered his first race. Organizers almost didn’t allow him to ride because of his young age and small size. He placed second at his first race and began racing regularly after that. Levi had great success as a snocross racer, but in 2007 he decided to give freestyle a try. After learning several tricks, including the back flip (a snowmobile weighs 400+ lbs.), he entered his first freestyle competition and won. Levi had a breakout Winter X Games in early 2008. He won two gold medals and was awarded “Most Outstanding Athlete of the Winter X Games” Levi decided to compete in all four snowmobile events in 2009, the most events of any athlete. Levi garnered more on-air coverage than any other athlete during the 2009 Winter X Games. In large part, this was due to his success from the previous year and because of the rumor that Levi was planning on attempting a double back flip in the “Next Trick” competition. Levi did attempt the double back flip, the first ever in competition, and narrowly missed completing the trick by overshooting the landing (slight bobble off the sled - no injury).

In 2010, Levi was chosen to be RedBull's featured athlete for the “RedBull New Year - No Limits” distance jump. Unfortunately, Levi was injured during a practice jump leading up to the televised New Year's Eve jump, but he did manage to set a new world record (361’ jump). After three months of rehab he is now back to racing and jumping.

Mike Schultz
Mike became the first in history to win Winter X gold and X Games gold in different sports in the same year–he captured MTX Super X Adaptive and SMB SnoCross Adaptive in 2010. Prior to losing his left leg due to injuries received in a snocross racing accident on Dec. 13, 2008, he competed in five WX SnoCross events (best place of 9th in '07). A longtime tinkerer, Mike built his own special knee and prosthetic leg to accommodate his sled and dirtbike riding. He enters SnoCross Adaptive with the deepest experience in the field, and he even remains competitive against able-bodied snocrossers.
