Steve trail riding

While in high school we participated in football (our sport of choice) and pole vaulted. They were both great sports that bookend our ski season and kept us physically fit. Once out of high school and dedicated to pursuing our skiing careers, we took up motocross as a cross training activity. This kept us both mentally and physically fit throughout the summer months. Fearing injury, this activity was met with reluctance by our US Ski Team coaches and ski equipment suppliers (K2, Marker, Lange). Unfortunately, their concerns were correct as Steve injured his knees while competing in motocross, but never lost a step as we had a great physician in Richard Steadman. Although we no longer compete on motorcycles, Steve continues to trail ride with his son Andy.
