Who is #WaitingForWinter besides you and I and Waiting For Winter Guy? Everyone else, including Arctic Cat!

2018 marks the first model year of Textron Off Road that incorporates Arctic Cat into its family.

Here's a short video that captures the spirit of the new family.

A lot of hype has been made this week on the ol' socialable medias about the supposedly first-ever front flip on a snowmobile at the recent Nitro Circus show in San Diego.

It's NOT the first front flip. For starters, Heath Frisby did it at the X Games in 2012.

And I have personally done a snowmobile front flip at least 20 times in my career. A couple were even multiple-flips. Most of them occurred during various snowmobile races, usually in a whooped-out section of ditch. Granted, each one was unintentional; probably more of a somersault/cartwheel; and a complete surprise, but that shouldn't matter when the history books are being written.

While there is no video documentation of my flips (too bad, because I guarantee they're more entertaining than the recent Nitro Circus maneuver), I still have some shredded windshield plastic and twisted handlebars to prove it.

Gotta give the Nitro gang credit though, they're smart enough to charge money for this stuff.

These classic Arctic Cat films about the first season of Sno Pro oval racing are as great now as they were back in the day. Video quality not great, but the content is stellar.

Coltom, Lofton, Thompson...legends.

Just how far has snowmobie hillclimbing progressed in the past three-plus decades? Take a look at this gem from Kirkland Lake (Ontario) circa 1983.

Man, what a difference suspension makes on a snowmobile. Oh, and track design. And....

The 2017 ISOC National snocross season concluded last weekend in Lake Geneva, Wis., where Team Monster/Arctic Cat's Tucker Hibbert had another mixed bag of results.

In his words: “Winning the final Saturday night was awesome and I feel like I rode really well. With a crash Friday night and a third Sunday, I’m a little disappointed. I feel like my speed didn’t match my results.”

“It feels good to have won the most races. I felt really strong most of the season. I had some low points but, overall, it was a pretty successful year. It’s awesome to finish the season healthy and strong.”

When you're used to winning everything, a 1st, 3rd and 10th must seem ho-hum.

Regardless, check out the vid!

ISOC national snocross racing debuted in Dubuque, Iowa, last weekend, and Tucker Hibbert came oh-so-close to scoring another win. Watch the recap video and ponder what two more laps might have meant.

On Saturday night in Mt. Pleasant, Mich., Team Monster/Arctic Cat snocrosser Tucker Hibbert stamped his usual style of authority on snocross.

Man I love listening to a Pro Open sled, especially when it's being ripped around a track by the fastest snocrosser in the world.

Tucker Hibbert claimed his 124th national snocross win in the Pro class this past weekend in Deadwood, South Dakota. Here are the video highlights.

Enjoy this recap video of Team 68's 2017 Canterbury snocross weekend.

I've been diggin' the engine audio on this year's race recap vid's from Tucker Hibbert. Here's the latest edit from his dominating performance at the ISOC National in Winter Park, Colorado, last week.

This is pretty amazing, and something that Bobby Flame could only dream of.

Check out the video recap of Tucker Hibbert's 2016-2017 ISOC Duluth weekend.

(Loving the sound of that engine!)
