I know Mets for a long time and photographed him on a dirt bike racing and freestyle he will do a back flip on a snow bike he will go big. If it has handle bars and a throttle Metz will be good at it. We miss you Metz in SOCAL your a true ThrottleJunkie. Your Bro Frank Galante photgrapher

SPOOLEDX2 REAL RIDERS WOULD NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD ON A SPORTY IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU WERE CORRECT IN YOUR STATEMENT THAT IT WOULD BE STUCK UNTILL SPRING. IF YOU HAVE NOT RIDDEN A 2MOTO CONVERTED BIKE YET I RECOMEND YOU DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YOU WILL SEE HOW SISSY THEY ARE NOT AND, HOW MANLY YOU ARE. THESE BAD BOY'S "F"N RIP. WE SHOT THE VIDEO AT LOOK OUT PASS LAST YEAR WITH BRETT FROM 2MOTO. YOU TUBE VIDEO WITH THE 505 AND 525 AT THE TOP TRAVERSING BACK DOWN THE FALL LINE. FIRST TIME RIDING AND WENT HIGHER DEEPER AND FARTHER THAN I EVER RODE A SNOWMOBILE. R MARTIN BMS IN POST FALLS IDAHO

"Grt real! Modified jap bikes to run on snow,...yeah sounds pretty sissy. Real riders should modify something like Sporty. Then you'd see some interesting snow racing." Something heavy like a "Sproty" would just sink in the snow and you wouldn't get it out until spring. That and i am sure it would handle like a "Hog" on ice..... And hey they weren't all jap bikes... There was KTM's, Husaberg's, hell even a Gas Gas.... Unfortunately Malcom wasn't able to make it, but his son Robbie did and did awesome.

It was fun to see old motorcycle racing buds like Richie Reynolds out on the snow trying out the snowbikes. It is the next new xgames sport. Come on Metzger when is the backflip going to take place - if you try it come to Idaho to do it -we will support you.
