“I started riding when with my kitty cat, my parents had a pole in the yard with a rope tide from the pole to the sled. I must have spent hundreds of hours on that sled going around in circles. Over the years I moved up in sleds and skills. I would have to say 1999 was my break out year, I took a chance and flew down to the states and tired out for a team. So that started a chain of events which let me do shows and travel all over the world. I really love what I do, I wake up everyday so happy I get to do something with my sled. Riding it’s what life should be, its what my life is” – Jimmy Blaze
