Snowmobile superstar Levi LaVallee recently left the chilly environs of Minnesota to take on Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. in San Diego, where he planned to eclipse the existing snowmobile distance-jump record of 301 feet. His practice sessions had been going extremely well, even producing a super-smooth 361-foot jump, but a subsequent crash put the brakes on the event, slated to be broadcast live on ESPN for New Year’s Eve.
Fortunately, Levi will recover fully from his injuries and be back to push the sport of snowmobiling once again. A veteran Snocross racer and freestyle pioneer, Launchin’ Levi is one of the sport’s biggest personalities, responsible for some amazing accomplishments:
