Great news for racing fans: Tucker Hibbert and all other Team Arctic snocross racers are once again eyeing gold at the ESPN Winter X Games.
Translated: Snocross racing is returning to the popular event after a one-year hiatus.
In addition to reinstating snocross, ESPN will bring back the Speed & Style competition.
The return of snocross to Winter X means that once again there is a Monument in that form of snowmobile competition, just as cross-country has the I-500; enduro the Soo 500; oval the Eagle River World's Championship; and hillclimb's Jackson Hole World's.
The dates for the upcoming X Games are Jan. 24-27, held again in Aspen, Colo.

I didn't watch the X Games last year because they didn't have snocross!

I know many people who dont know a thing about snowmobiles that live in warmer climates who said they had no reason to watch the X-Games without Sno-X! Well played ESPN, well played....

I did not watch the X-Games without snocross. Snocross is probably the physically most demanding sport of the event. It is awesome that the mother-ship has brought it back. Go cat go and may the T-Train bring the gold to A/C again! I heard John is going to be a guest announcer as well as a technical advisor to help explain the reasons why Arctic Cat snowmobiles and racers are so good at what they do.
