I
daho’s Heath Frisby is
one of the most well known
and experienced hands in
snowmobiling - having seen his
career grow alongside the sport.
With eleven X Games medals to his name,
no one doubts Heath’s contribution to the
scene, but he’s still got a few things left he
wants to do.
We caught up with Heath at Masters of
Dirt, where he was plying his trade in the
not-so-winter-sports venue of a packed
indoor arena...
I think we’re about the same age
man, you must have been getting into
bikes and stuff around when FMX was
blowing up...
Yes, for sure. I grew up just as any normal
kid in my area. A lot of farming, a lot
stuff like that. Motorsports wasn’t just
something we did for fun; it was really a
way of life. We worked on the farm. We
rode four wheelers, rode motorcycles,
rode snowmobiles, always had something
to ride. It started first with bikes.
You just had a natural talent for bikes?
Yeah, doing tricks on bikes and then I
realised I was really good on snowmobiles
– the sport was getting going so I started
doing it. I kept pursuing bikes as well on
the side just for fun, but I always tried to
stay busy on one or the other.
What was it like growing up on a potato
farm?
It taught me a lot of good things. Work
ethic, you know: when it’s time to go
and have fun, go have as much fun as
you can, because work is going to start
tomorrow kind of thing. It taught me a lot
of valuable things, learning from my father
how to work and how to do it right. Not to
give up on anything. It was cool to have
that. u
