How'd you manage that little detail?Ĭolten: We started jumping in our pit - you know, because there's no snow there. What really made you decide to go from ATVs in Krum, Texas, to snowmobiles in Aspen, Colorado?Ĭolten: Well, there's no X Games for quads so we just decided to move on to something with an X Games. And we both do have trucks and have definitely participated in some Texas 'backwoods shenanigans,' you might say. Pretty much knew everybody at your school by first and last name and you wave at everybody as you drive by, it's kind of one of those towns.ĭo you both own cowboy hats and drive trucks, or what?Ĭaleb Moore: Actually, neither one of us own cowboy hats, but our dad and our granddad do. Our mom worked at the school so we couldn't get in too much trouble. It's a real small town, not too far out in the country. Ĭolten Moore: Umm, exactly how it sounds. Here's what else the Winter X rookies making a splash the size of Texas had to say. That's the first time ever even riding a sled and December 28 - one month ago yesterday - the first time we ever jumped in the snow." We've heard both out here in the pits but we really did start December 15. There's the people that believe it and give us respect, then we've got the people that think we're total liars. It's definitely stirred up a little bit of a fuss, I think.

"I can't really believe it," said elder brother, Caleb. As fate would have it, in about the time it takes for a gallon of milk to go bad in the back of your fridge, the Moore brothers had earned an official invite to Winter X Games 14 and are out competing against the best in the biz.

Their pals shot a few minutes of footage and sent the tapes to X Games brass. Long story short, the brothers were naturals. They packed up and road tripped to the Yoop - Michigan's Upper Peninsula, home of the Evolution Sled Park - to test out their snow legs. "They just shipped us some sleds," Colten said.Īfter a few days of riding their first snowmobiles on synthetics and into their pit, they were itching to get their diesel on the pow. With a simple phone call to Polaris (who was already a Moore brothers sponsor), Caleb and Colten were in business. In December, their pal, WX veteran snowmobile freestyler Sam Rogers, told them that they should think about putting their toes where it snows.

Truth be told, the brothers are no strangers to flips and tricks, as they are esteemed veteran ATV riders.

By now, if you're not dying to know how two Texas boys were fast-tracked from the prairies to the Rockies, then you might want to flip over to the Knitting Channel. Friday night, Caleb, 22, and Colten, 20, will compete in the Snowmobile Best Trick contest under the lights in Aspen, Colo. In true Cinderella story form, Caleb even managed to net the bronze medal.Īnd the legend continues. Yesterday, the X Games rookies competed in the Snowmobile Freestyle event and wowed the crowd by besting even some of the most seasoned veteran slednecks. That means that 33 days ago, the brothers from Krum, Texas (average annual snowfall 1.9 inches), had never sat on a sleigh in the white stuff. That's how many days brothers Caleb and Colten Moore had between their first sled ride on snow and their first major snowmobile competition.
