Our snowmobile club was honored to do the celebrity lap around the track before the International I-500 race began. We flew the flags on the back of our sleds of the countries we will be traveling in on our World Tour. Our poster girl Josie rode with her Dad and waved to all the crowd.

MichCanSka to the Rescue – Unsung Heroes
Posted in Trip updates on February 7, 2015| 1 Comment »
The camaraderie that is shared amongst snowmobilers is immeasurable. The bonding that they enjoy as snowmobilers is about as close as you can get. On February 6th 2015 at about 9:30AM the MichCanSka World Tour riders were on their way from Sault Ste. Marie Michigan to Paradise Michigan when they came upon a snowmobiler who was in big trouble and didn’t even know how much trouble he was in. He was sitting in the snow on the clutch side of his snowmobile trying to change a belt that he just broke and didn’t realize it but the snowmobile was on fire with flames shooting out of the other side of the machine. The quick reaction of 3 of the MichCanSka World Tour riders came to his aid. Garry Randall USA, Jean Gui Charette Canada and Andrei Bobonov Russia jumped from their sleds and ran to his aid to put out the fire that could have reached the gas tank and caused a major explosion. With no concern for their own safety they all joined in throwing snow on the burning motor with their hands to save the owner from great harm. In addition to the teamwork of snowmobilers saving another snowmobiler from possible catastrophe it showed us something else. It showed us how regular people from all over the world can get along and work together. Maybe our world leaders can learn something from this incident and help put out some of the fires that can save many people world wide. Bill Bradfield, MichCanSka President
