In Snowmobile Freestyle on Friday, January 25, it was 34-year-old Daniel Bodin who gained his second Gold Medal in Snowmobile Freestyle, but first since 2011 and his fifth X Games Gold overall.Ĭompeting on a Red Bull-backed Polaris, the Swedish competitor did one combo backflip after another on his second run, utilizing the lone jump on this year’s X Games course multiple times, to score a 91.66 from the judges and steal first place away from Brett Turcotte.
