Hibbert Wins Back-to-Back Snocross Gold Medals at X Games 12

"Untouchable domination was the theme for Monster Energy/Arctic Cat's Tucker Hibbert at ESPN's Winter X Games 12. Saturday night, millions of viewers worldwide witnessed Hibbert add medal number seven to his collection in the longest Winter X Games snocross final in history.

In round one of qualifying Friday night, Hibbert took the hole-shot and led all eight laps to lock in the coveted number one qualifying position for the final. After two rounds of qualifying, 20 riders were cut and the stage was set for a 12-rider, 25-lap final event.

Saturday night, Hibbert not only won the final, he flat out dominated it. His Monster Energy/Arctic Cat hooked up on the start and ripped the hole-shot, leaving his competition in the snow dust. He rode flawless and incredibly smooth every lap to take his third gold medal 16 seconds ahead of silver medalist, Brett Turcotte. This marks Hibbert's second dominating Winter X Games run in a row. Last year, he led 15 of the 18 laps and finished an impressive 15 seconds ahead of second place.

Hibbert has only one race left on his snocross schedule this season before switching gears to motocross. His final race is in Vernon, New York Feb 9-10 where last year he made history by winning all six qualifiers and both final events.

As stated above "Hibbert has only one race left on his snocross schedule this season before switching gears to motocross. His final race is in Vernon, New York Feb 9-10"

If he is as good in MX as he is with snowmobiles, he can basically write his own contract.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
