Jesse Gildea may be one of the first of many Super X Adaptive motocross racers to transition into WX SnoCross Adaptive. A native Iowan, he's not a total stranger to snowmobiles, but only rode recreationally before his spinal cord injury in 2006. Gildea was paralyzed from the chest down in a motocross accident. He knows his chances of medaling are slim in his first WX appearance, but is excited to line up against motocross legend Doug Henry.
