Caleb Moore dies after injuries from X-Games 2013

Caleb Moore was an extreme athlete by any definition of the term. Growing up in Texas he competed in a ton of ATV events but later in life he got hooked on snowmobiles. In last week’s X-Games his run was going great until his front skis hit the lip of the landing ramp and threw him over his handlebars with his sled landing on top of his chest. Miraculously, he walked away from the crash, but later at a hospital in Grand Junction he was diagnosed with bleeding around the heart and a traumatic brain injury. Caleb Moore, 25, passed away today from those injuries. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the Moore family and friends. We have enjoyed seeing what the Moore brothers have done with the sport and are thankful for the excitement they have brought into our lives over the years. We wish Colten a speedy recovery on his separated pelvis which happened at the same event in the X-Games last week as well. As always, stay safe, be prepared, and do what you love and never take a day for granted.
