It's obviously going to be a huge blow to snowmobiling." Hibbert broke into the sport by winning his first SnoCross gold medal at age 15, making him the youngest gold medalist in Winter X Games history.
"Definitely wasn't something we were expecting to hear. "It's a shock," said Tucker Hibbert, the five-time defending SnoCross gold medalist and six-time winner overall. Many of the sport's top riders were informed of the decision Wednesday. We've enjoyed working with the athletes and look forward to seeing many of them in Aspen as they continue to compete in the other disciplines." "SnoCross has been a great element of the Winter X Games for the past 14 years.
At this time, we decided that ESPN will focus on the disciplines of Snowmobile Freestyle and Best Trick and will not bring back the disciplines of SnoCross and Speed & Style to Winter X Games Aspen. The official statement read: "Each year the X Games monitor and evaluate the most appropriate sports for inclusion in each event and over time has continued to evolve in order to deliver the best product and most value for its athletes and fans. We know there's a lot going on in the industry and a lot of it is tied to the X Games. "Ultimately, we're trying to create and build the best event we can," Reed said. X Games Senior Director of Content Strategy Tim Reed said the decision to cut the events was complex and not tied strictly to budgets. Speed & Style, which combines snowmobiling's freestyle and racing disciplines, and adaptive SnoCross, are also being eliminated. SnoCross debuted in 1998 as the first motorized sport in X Games history, and had been contested every year since then. One of the longest-running Winter X Games events - Snowmobile SnoCross racing - will no longer be a part of the Winter X program, as of this coming January's event in Aspen, Colo., X Games officials announced Thursday.
