Boggin' Out: Pol-Cat

Tremor in Mchenry County, not really a Quake

At about 10 pm Monday January 30th, 2012, many residents in Mchenry county and surrounding areas claimed to have felt a mini quake. Witnesses stated that windows rattled and china clinked as the rumble lasted for about 3 seconds. One resident claimed that it was enough to open the garage door on his home in Lakemoor, IL.

While there was record of a movement of plates in the area, the cause was not natural. After investigating, it was found that hundreds of unhappy Ditch Bangers fired up their snowmobiles at 9:56pm last night in disgust and frustration.

The lack of snow has caused a bottling of much anticipated riding energy. "I gave my sled one got blip of the throttle just to get that pressure out of my soul" said one snowmobiler. "It's been too long. 24 hrs of open trails locally was not right. Mother nature really stuck it to us this year, so I rev'd my sled in protest and retaliation."

While the mass 'rev' lasted but a few seconds, the result was heard and felt for miles away. It seems that the ditch bangers got their sucker punch in to mother nature. Now they wait to see what comes next.

Frisby lands it!

Well the hype of Frisby attempting the first ever front flip came to a head Sunday night. It was eerily quiet as Heath Frisby executed the first ever snowmobile front flip in competition. Unlike powering through a backflip, Heath had to stop the track and blindly flip the sled forward. Like any trick, the landing is the hardest part. Heath kept it together and landed the front flip smoothly. With a front flip, he almost had to over rotate to make sure that the skis came down first. If he had under rotated, the track would have hit first and the front end would have been force to the ground hard. Frisby made it look effortless and awesome!

Congrats Frisby!
