This last week has been big for me, I was able to team up with GREATLAND Welding and Machine in Wasilla Alaska, they most generously sponsored me with all the materials I needed to build a aluminum frame for my seat, with a gas shock to absorb hard impacts. My good friends then were able to fab it up with nothing to go by but an idea, sometimes when your trying to adapt and overcome something thinking outside the box is the only way. +J Skoglund

Walking Paraplegic enters Hill-Climbs
This is a couple Go Pro screen shots from when Brad Johnson showed up to the Alyeska Motor Madness Hill-climbs last winter 15 months after being paralyzed from the waist down and raced the 800 stock class. He made it to the top and got a time, unfortunately didn't win but placed 8th in his class he hopes to do better next season tho… 80 percent of people who entered didn't make it over the top it was a very challenging course he was also the only disabled rider.

Do you need your sled wrapped?
Winter is coming quick. If you need to get your sled or trailer wrapped this season hit up Kurtis at Extreme Auto Accessories. He can custom design and wrap anything.
