Colton Moore Wins Gold at the X-Games!

Yeah, I know what you are thinking, “Why is this so important?” Well, the reason why is the back story of Colton Moore and the tragic passing of his brother Caleb. According to Gazette.com, at the last X-Games, these two were racing in the snowmobile freestyle, and both crashed. Colton recovered from his injuries quickly, and was back on the course, but his older brother unfortunately had more serious injuries than he, and passed away one week later. After this happened, Colton was hesitant to race, but he decided that he would try to win one for his brother, and did, while wearing Caleb’s number, 31. When asked if he would return to participate, he said that he would compete, since racing made him feel closer to his brother, and he felt that he was there. What an inspirational story coming out of Aspen!
