<description><![CDATA[Ten-year pro snocross racer Mike "Monster" Schultz entered the 2008-09 season facing a number of new challenges: He had a new team and a new sled brand, and ISOC presented a new racing format in its first year of organizing the national tour.None of this would prepare Schultz, known for a gritty determination that gave rise to his nickname, for a life-changing challenge that was to come, however. On Dec. 12, 2008, at the second stop of the series in Ironwood, Mich., Schultz suffered an injury that...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Justin Hoyer is ranging far and wide from his native Wisconsin these days. So Justin "I've realized I'm here on this earth to do one thing: Shred the gnar!" Hoyer filed this report with Sled Man Talking not from the Land o' Cheesehead but rather a place known as Europe:"Hello Ladies and Gents,"OK, I know it's been a while since I last informed you all on my status, but I figured I better do it before you all forget me!"So after snagging the silver at X, I decided it was time to get back on my bike...]]></description>

"Absolutely not," he said via cell phone. "We were still on the landing after...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Last month Sam Rogers climbed into his truck in Billings, Mont., and started pinning it south. Well, first he picked up a rental trailer and hitched it to the truck. Then he pinned it down to Rifle, Colo. There, he loaded one of only two ramps in the known world known as the BAR (Big Ass Ramp) onto the trailer. Then he pinned it back north, retracing his route to Billings and then, way, way north, onto to Whitecourt, Alberta, which is about eight hours north of Calgary (if you're pinning it, which...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The last time Sled Man Talking caught up with Sebastian Landry, a few weeks back, he was working a lot and sounding bummed. Sled Man Talking took this to mean one thing: Southeast Alaska was hurting for snow. Then an email showed up yesterday with a single attachment and just three words (Subject: "Pow," and, in the body, "Turnagain Pass"). The apparent moral of the story? Things are looking up in AK.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are big things in front of Petter Grimborg. Like handlebars, throttle, brake, ridgelines, etc. But always there is the camera also. Which is why Petter Grimborg goes big, three-handedly and tri-lingually; even the keyboard of his MacBook Pro has extra-dextrous Swedish digits.
