Burandt wins X Games Gold, Frisby takes Bronze

Sun Valley, ID - Scott USA congratulates Chris Burandt and Heath Frisby on their brilliant performances at Winter X Games 11. In its inaugural year at Winter X, Freestyle Snowmobile wowed the crowds and brought the sport to the masses. Burandt’s variety of tricks, consistency, and a 90+ ft. backflip earned him Gold, while young Frisby’s seemingly effortless trickery brought him a Bronze.
