Team Arctic had a successful showing at the X-Games through Tucker Hibbert's third straight gold medal win and Dan Ebert's third place finish in his debut main event appearance at the X-Games, according to a Team Arctic press release.

“It was an incredible and successful X Games for our team,” said Mike Kloety, Race Team Manager. “All of our racers and teams who made the journey to Aspen put on an incredible show.

Hibbert nailed the holeshot in the 15-racer, 20-lap final and raced at a pace that no other rider could match. By the time he took the checkered flag, the 25-year old from Goodridge, Minn., had a 36-second lead over second place, and lapped all but the top-five racers.

Finishing third in his first-ever main event appearance at X Games was  Dan Ebert of Lake Shore, Minn.

"Ebert proved once again that he’s fully transitioned from up-and-comer to the guy to beat," Team Arctic spokesman said.

After a rough start, Ryan Simons of Camrose, Alberta, charged through the pack and eventually put him in fifth place.

“This event is every snocross racer’s dream and the extra work and testing that gets put into preparing for this event paid off. Tucker and his team started preparing for this event one year ago,” Kloety said.

The other highlight for Team Arctic was the third place finish by Cory Davis in the Speed & Style event. Davis, of Soldotna, Alaska, used his fast cornering skills and  freestyle talent to finish on the X Games podium for the first time in his career.
