ASPEN, Colo., January 26, 2009 – BRP/Ski-Doo X-Team competitors started the ESPN Winter X-Games weekend off with Joe Parsons claiming a gold medal in the Speed and Style event and finished it off with more speed and more style – Robbie Malinoski used speed to win the silver medal in the Snocross competition and Joe Parsons, Justin Hoyer and Heath Frisby used style to sweep the medal podium in the Freestyle competition.
These skilled athletes all brought home their medals on Ski-Doo MX Zx 600 RS snowmobiles – the same machine that won the gruelling I-500 cross country race a week earlier.
"The success in these varied types of competition show the versatility, performance and durability of our REV-X chassis – the same chassis consumers can get at any Ski-Doo dealer," said Dominique Godbout, director of marketing, Ski-Doo snowmobiles. "The connection between racing and consumer snowmobiles is why we race."
