Hibbert flawless at X Games Aspen to win ninth consecutive gold medal

Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck’s Tucker Hibbert captured his ninth consecutive gold medal with a flawless performance at X Games Aspen 2016. The now 14-time X Games medalist took the holeshot and led every lap of both his qualifying race and the final Thursday evening at Buttermilk Mountain.

Hibbert immediately adapted to the 45-second track lined with icy turns and technical jumps turning the fastest lap in practice. With far inside start line picks in his qualifying round and the final, he pulled strong holeshots to get through the tight right first turn clean before heading into the uphill rhythm section.

In the 20-lap, 10-rider final, Hibbert focused on riding smart and smooth as the track began to break down and develop ice edges. He was never challenged for the lead to take the win by over 10 seconds.

With this gold medal, Hibbert is the first X Games winter athlete to win nine consecutive gold medals and now holds the most medals in a single discipline.

Next up for Hibbert is the fifth stop of the ISOC National Snocross tour in New York where he’s competing for his tenth Pro National Championship.

 

Tucker Hibbert – #68 Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck

“I feel honored to win nine golds in-a-row. It’s an awesome experience to come to X Games, compete and have the success we [the team] have had. It feels great. All the hard work is paying off and it’s a lot of fun.”

“I didn’t have any expectations for the track. Every year it’s different so I don’t try to anticipate what it’s going to be. It’s definitely an advantage to be able to adapt and ride any kind of track and do it well. I think that’s a key to my success. With my experience and all the different conditions I’ve raced in, it’s an advantage for me.”

“We got in some really solid testing before X Games. Steve from Speedwerx worked hard with us to get our clutching setup for the holeshot and it showed.”

“I don’t have a master plan or big goal of winning a certain amount of medals. I want to keep racing as long as I’m competitive and am still enjoying it.”

Hibbert focused on gold medal nine-peat at X Games Aspen 2016

Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck’s Tucker Hibbert is focused on winning his ninth consecutive Snocross gold medal at X Games Aspen 2016. Thursday evening, the 13-time medalist will take his 16th X Games Snocross start.

Hailing from Pelican Rapids, Minn., the 31-year-old is known for his methodical approach to racing and ability to adapt to any racecourse. Outside of his X Games accomplishments, he’s a two-time world champion, nine-time national champion and holds 114 pro national victories with a winning percentage of 59 percent. This winter, he’s 6-for-8 on the ISOC National Snocross tour and hot off double wins in South Dakota this past weekend.

X Games Aspen Snocross qualifying and final event will be broadcast live on ESPN3 and watchESPN.com Thursday 6-7:30 p.m. ET. For more information, visit xgames.com.

 

Tucker Hibbert – #68 Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck

“It’s no secret that X Games is my favorite event of the year. It was my first pro race and a place I’ve always felt at home. There’s something different and special about X Games compared to any other snocross event.”

“I think I put more pressure on myself than anyone else. I work really hard to show up in Aspen ready to win. That’s the goal and I know we [the team] are capable of making that happen. We got in some really good testing earlier this month. Just when we think we have my sled set-up perfect, we find another way to make it better. That’s what I love the most about racing – the constant progression and drive to be better.”

“I never imagined I’d be in this position – going for my ninth gold in a row. No matter what happens on Thursday, I know we’ve done everything we can to be prepared to win.”

Hibbert on fire at Deadwood Shootout

Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Trucks’ Tucker Hibbert was on fire at the ISOC National Snocross Deadwood Shootout in Deadwood, SD. The first time in his career, Hibbert won all four qualifying rounds and both final events at Days of ‘76 Rodeo Grounds.

In four years of racing on Deadwood’s sub 30-second bullring style track, Hibbert has put on some of the most impressive wins seen in the history of the sport. With the memory of his jaw dropping come-from-behind win en route to his 100th victory last winter, a sold out crowd packed into the rodeo grounds looking for another show.

Both Friday and Saturday night through qualifying and the finals, bad startline picks and poor starts didn’t faze Hibbert. To the delight of the sold-out crowd, no matter how rough the course got or intense the snow roost was, the nine-time champion battled his way to the front every time he hit the track.

Hibbert now has a 66-point lead in the 2016 ISOC National Snocross Pro Open Championship chase. Next up is X Games Aspen where he’ll compete for a record ninth consecutive gold medal. The event will be broadcast live on ESPN3 and watchESPN.com Thursday, January 28 6-7:30 p.m. ET.

 

Tucker Hibbert – #68 Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck

“This weekend was huge for me and my team. I knew we were in a good place coming into the event but it’s always challenging racing on a track like this. No matter what challenge was thrown at us this weekend, we found a way to get the job done. Even though I’m not a big fan of racing on this track, the fans make it worth it. They were crazy and kept me pushing all weekend. It feels so good to come out of Deadwood with the sweep and ready to battle at X Games this week.”

Hibbert sweeps Canterbury Park Snocross and extends points lead

Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck’s Tucker Hibbert swept rounds five and six of the ISOC National Snocross tour in Shakopee, Minn. The nine-time champion excelled on Canterbury Park’s long, technical track and relied on experience to extend his championship points lead.

Hibbert laid down impressive runs in his qualifying rounds and the final Friday night. Despite having to start from the far outside in the final due to ISOC’s new inversion rule, he ripped the Stud Boy holeshot and by lap four of 14, stretched out a six-second lead over second place. With two to go and a 13-second lead, he backed down his pace on the final lap to take the win.

Temperatures dropped below zero Saturday night leaving the course filled with ice edges and holes. Hibbert won his first qualifier but found out the hard way in round two how unpredictable the track was. A nasty crash near the end of the race forced him to run the last chance qualifier (LCQ) race. A win in the LCQ gave him the inside pick on the second row of the 15-rider, 14-lap final. With a clean start, he made passes early to finish lap one in fifth place and with the leader in sight. Staying patient, he moved into second place behind no. 53 Kody Kamm on lap 10. Three laps to go, Kamm crashed leaving the door open for Hibbert to complete the sweep.

Hibbert now has a 32-point lead in the 2015-2016 ISOC National Pro Open Championship points chase. He plans to utilize the weekend off in the ISOC tour to prepare for X Games Aspen where he’ll compete for his ninth consecutive gold medal. For more information on his race schedule, visit tucker-hibbert.com.

 

Tucker Hibbert – #68 Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck

“It feels really good to have a weekend like this. After Fargo, we [the team] really put our heads down. I didn’t feel like we were on the top of our game at the first two events of the season. I spent a lot of time riding and testing to get to where I knew I needed to be.”

“I felt awesome Friday night. The track really suited my riding style. It was the longest track we’ve had all season, technical and good for racing. Saturday was a different story. With the cold temps, track conditions changed big time. It was the kind of track that could bite you so you had to be patient. I found that out when I pushed too hard in my second qualifier and got sent to the LCQ. In the final, I was happy to be up with the top three guys after my back row start. I wasn’t comfortable with doing whatever it takes to get the lead. I knew I had to be cautious. I was pushing hard but wasn’t willing to push any harder.”

“The next two weeks our focus will be on preparing for X Games. This year will be different with racing at Deadwood before X Games but we’re ready. It’s going to be a fun!”

Hibbert takes a win at sloppy Fargo National

Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck’s Tucker Hibbert took a win at his home race Saturday night in Glyndon, Minn. Battling unseasonably warm temperatures, Buffalo River Race Park had little snow to work with for the Fargo National but pulled together a small, sloppy sub 30-second racetrack for rounds three and four of the ISOC National Snocross tour.

Hibbert went 1-2 in his qualifying rounds Friday night, making him the number one qualifier for the final event. With ISOC’s new inverted start procedure, he was awarded the final spot on the front row of the 15-rider start line. He got a solid jump but immediately backed off to avoid getting pushed wide in the tight, first corner of the track. Finishing lap one in 11th place, he spent the next 19 laps making passes on a near impassable track to finish fourth.

Saturday, with track conditions continuing to deteriorate, Hibbert struggled in qualifying. Known for his ability to move through the field on any track, he had a hard time making passes while battling poor visibility from the heavy, wet snow roost. Getting out front early in the final would be key to take the top spot of the podium that night.

In the 15-rider, 26-lap final, he rounded the first turn in third place and avoided getting collected in a collision on the front stretch that took out the front two riders. With a clear track in front of him, he pushed hard to cushion his lead early before getting into lappers. Riding smart, he held on to take his 110th pro national win.

Hibbert has a three-weekend break before hitting a busy swing of races in January. For more information on his schedule, visit tucker-hibbert.com.

 

Tucker Hibbert – #68 Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck

“I’ve been racing for a long time and I’m not sure if I’ve ever raced in such poor conditions. Because the snow was so wet and sloppy, the roost was relentless. Even out front, I got roost off my ski tips making it almost impossible to see. I was constantly slowing down to wipe my goggles. I know everyone was battling the same issues but, man, it was bad.”

“I think I made it pretty clear Saturday night on the podium how I feel about the new qualifying rules. It’s a mess and I don’t believe it’s right for our sport.”

“I’m putting the weekend behind me and focusing on what’s ahead. We have a few weekends off before things really pick up. January is a big month with two ISOC events and X Games. It’s no secret that we (the team) put a lot of focus on X Games and this year is no different. I’m excited to keep cranking in the shop and spend more time at the test track before we hit the next stretch of races.”

Hibbert secures points lead with a win at Snocross season opener

Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck’s Tucker Hibbert secured the ISOC National Snocross Pro Open points championship lead with a win at the 2015-2016 season opener in Duluth, Minn. The nine-time champion put his experience to work with a solid win Saturday and heart-pumping race through the pack Sunday.

In front of a maximum capacity crowd, Hibbert pulled off a big win Saturday night. A fifth-place start in the Pro Open final forced him to push hard in the opening laps on Spirit Mountain ski hill’s icy, rough track. Nine laps into he 20-lap, 15-rider final, he made the move on leader no. 324 Kyle Palin and pulled away for the win. It marked his fifth consecutive Duluth National Pro Open victory.

In Sunday’s final, Hibbert got a mid-pack start and spent the first half of the race searching for lines to make passes on the tight track. By the time he moved into second place, front runner, no. 53 Kody Kamm had already stretched out a near a nine-second gap. Navigating through lapped traffic, he consistently chipped away at Kamm’s lead. The final lap, he latched onto Kamm’s rear bumper and it was a fight to the checkers with Hibbert finishing just 0.477 of a second shy of the win.

After a weekend off, the ISOC National Snocross tour returns to action at Buffalo River Race Park in Glyndon, Minn. December 11-12. For more information on Hibbert and his schedule this winter, visit tucker-hibbert.com.

 Tucker Hibbert – #68 Monster Energy / Arctic Cat / Ram Truck

“I feel like the weekend went really good. Obviously, we (the team) wanted to win both finals but it was a solid weekend. Taking the win Saturday was an awesome to start the season. The hard charge to second place in Sunday’s race was good too. Overall, it was a successful weekend.”

“I didn’t have a plan (to beat Kamm in Sunday’s final). I just focused on catching him. Once I got broke free of lappers and had a clear track in front of me, I closed the gap quick. I charged as hard as I could. It’s disappointing not to win but I’m pumped on my performance.”

“I’m really excited about the weekend off between now and the next race. We (the team) are going to be working super hard at the track and in shop to improve on our weaknesses. The goal is to show up at the next round ready to win and extend our points lead.”
