SledClub.com News: Cody Borchers Interview
By: SledClub.com

Cody Borchers

Age: 29
Residing: Calgary, AB
Sponsors: A&E Racing, Ski-doo, Martin Chrysler, Slednecks, Blue Marble Oil, RK Tek, Bulldog
Decks, Dyno Port, Fly racing, HMK, OGIO, Fox Helmets, MBC, Oakley, AMP.

What got you into sledding and how long have you been doing it for?

My buddy Pat and his family. I use to live in Sherwood Park, AB and I
would hang out at his house whenever I could. His family had a bunch of
sleds and I was allowed to come over and enjoy. It continued from there. Then my
family moved to Cochrane, AB. My brother and I worked to save up enough
money to buy XLT Polaris'. We met a couple guy's in a local riding area
near Cochrane. They saw that we had enough talent to take us to Golden, BC.
And that was the first time in the mountains. Ever since then we just
couldn't get enough. Now here I am.

What kind of sled/s did you ride this year and what mods did you do to it/
them?

I have 2 sleds this season and they are 07 Race chassis' with 800 Ski-doo
power plants. One has a RT Tek piston head kit with a Dyno Port pipe and
silencer that works amazing. It sure makes a difference from stock. The
other one has a 06 power tek 800 that is stock with a Dyno port pipe and
silencer. With a couple of little tricks and that’s it.........(top secret)
Haha!!!

You had an early season injury. What happened?

I broke my Rt Radius and wrist. I had a plate and 8 screws put in. That was
pretty sh**ty. It happen December 8 in Colorado at the Compound. I was
trying to learn freestyle. I over jumped the landing, landed flat and snap!

This started your season off on a bad note. Were you still able to reach
all your goals for the year?

Yes it was hard to take, I love all times of the winter and I missed out on
a lot of early season riding. I started riding mid February and battled
cloudy days after days. It took awhile to get the confidence back, but I
have been able to do everything I wanted to accomplish.

You just finished sledding in Whistler. Who where there with and
how did that go for you?

Whistler was awesome this year, I got to ride with Rob Alford, Geoff Kyle,
Ray Archer, Chris Brown, Chris Burandt, Cory Davis, Randy Sherman and Dan
Treadway. It was a good time and there were a couple ups and downs, but that
is a part of sledding.

What videos can we look out for in seeing you in this year?

Slednecks 10, Frontier Films, maybe Matchstick and maybe On The Pipe, we’ll
see about those. It would be sweet to be in a Ski Video, and Moto Video.

Where did you get to sled this winter?

Revelstoke BC, Whistler BC and Colorado.

Do you stay at Rob Alfords bed and breakfast when you’re in Revy?

Oh for sure, it’s a really nice place to stay. Rob always invites me.

I hear he can cook a pretty mean breakfast. Is this true?

Rob cooks a mean one. Then I have to clean up the mess....Haha. Robby makes
it a good visit for all his guests!

What would you pick if you could only choose one; Deep pow descents, big
drops or huge booters?

Oh man. I love it all too much to choose one.

What about between gnarly flips or tweaked out whips?

Well gnarly flips are ballz and they’re pretty wild. Tweaked out whips are
the funnest things to do, I can't get enough of them. There's no other
feeling then throwing a big whip and being upside down.

You have been tweaking those whips out pretty good lately! any secrets?

Thanks, I have been trying to get better at them. It takes practice and
practice for me.

What do you think about the new 2008 Rev XP? And would you consider
riding on one next year?

I have ordered 2 for next year. Ski-doo has changed snowmobiling again. I
want to be on them as soon as possible. They look cool. Can’t wait!

Any advice you can give to someone before heading into the backcountry?

Yes, Avalanche gear and take a course as well. Make sure you know how to use it!
Because the only survival out there is you and your group! Make sure to be
prepared for anything. Bring things to keep warn and be prepared to stay
over night. Things can change so fast while being out there. Be sure to bring lots of
water and food, your buddy might forget his....... Use your Head,
common sense and have fun!

Any words of wisdom or quotes to live by?

Work Hard and Play Harder. Treat people the way you want to be treated..

Any last comments or people you want to give thanks to?

Thanks to all my sponsors and everybody that makes it possible for me to do
this.

Thanks for your time Cody

No problem,

Thank you.

SledClub.com News: Red Bull Fuel and Fury
By: SledClub.com

RED BULL FUEL + FURY:

Returns to its Roots (and Snow) in Alaska Backcountry, April 8-15, 2006

Santa Monica, Calif. (March 13, 2006) – In search of snow, the next edition of the Red Bull Fuel + Fury freestyle snowmobiling competition invades the Alaskan backcountry near Girdwood, Alaska, April 8-15, 2006. After a two-year urban assault atop dirt and woodchips on the historic grounds of the abandoned Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee, Wis., the 2006 event returns to its natural habitat – with a new twist.

Always pushing the sport of freestyle snowmobiling, the 2006 Red Bull Fuel + Fury will feature up to sixteen of the world’s best backcountry riders, who will select and team up with the industry’s top videographers. Together, they will take part in the seven-day filming competition featuring Alyeska Ski Resort as home base and the ChugachRange, which gets more annual snowfall (600+ inches) than anywhere else on earth, as their playground. In addition to the new location, the public will have the final say in who will take home a share of the $20,000 purse.

“I’m really looking forward to returning to the roots of snowmobiling and letting the public have a say,” said 2003 Red Bull Fuel + Fury winner Jay Quinlan, who grew up in the 49^th state. “The backcountry is where the sport was created. Riding on natural terrain lets you really express your own style, and the video element will allow us to put a broader range of things in our segments.”

TAKE ONE! ACTION!

Each rider-videographer team will create a two-to-four minute segment of video footage that will make up their “run” in the competition, replacing the standard two-minute run in a stadium-style contest. Each rider will select his own videographer from such notable snowmobile filmmakers as Slednecks, Rath Films, Turnagain Hardcore Productions and Frontier Films. Riders are also free to select other independent producers of their choice.

The first six days (Saturday, April 8 – Thursday, April 13) will be spent riding the backcountry, with cameramen on-hand capturing the action. On Friday, April 14, the final day of competition, riders will tackle a natural terrain park on Glacier Bowl atop Alyeska Ski Resort. This competition will be a jam-session style format that is open to the public, providing riders one last chance to capture solid tricks on film. All of the finished segments will be due at 11:59 p.m. on Friday. Entries will be digitized and posted online for one day of judging on Saturday, April 15.

Voting: YOU be the Judge!

The entire snowmobile community will determine the competition’s winner. By logging onto www.redbullfuelandfury.com throughout the day on Saturday, April 15, the public will be able to view each rider’s segment and cast their e-ballot for their favorite.

Viewing/voting parties will take place at Polaris dealers or local snowmobile clubs throughout the lower 48 states. The remaining votes will come from the attendees at the Red Bull Fuel + Fury viewing party on Saturday, April 15 in Anchorage, at the historic 4^th Avenue Theater, from 7:00 p.m. - midnight. At the end of the night, all votes will be tallied and the winners will be announced.

The industry’s best sky pilots

A field of 16 riders, including eight representing Alaska, has been invited to compete:

· Kyle Armbrust (Anchorage, AK)

· Jimmy Blaze (Anchorage, AK)

· Cody Borchers (British Columbia, CAN)

· Chris Burandt (Kremmling, CO) - 2005 winner

· Sam Carver (Valdez, AK)

· Dane Ferguson (Anchorage, AK)

· Tommy Frankson (Anchorage, AK)

· Heath Frisby (Caldwell, ID)

· Kourtney Hungerford (West Yellowstone, MT)

· Geoff Kyle (British Columbia, CAN)

· Ross Mercer (Whitehorse, Yukon, CAN)

· Jay Quinlan (Breckenridge, CO) - 2003 winner

· Dan Phillips (Glenallen, AK)

· Jason Semler (Anchorage, AK)

· Randy Sherman (Anchorage, AK)

· Christoph Von Alvensleben (Anchorage, AK)

Alternate:

Lee Stuart (Winnipeg, Manitoba, CAN)

The 2006 event boasts $20,000 in total prize money, including $5,000 for the “Best Run” from Friday’s Jam Session at Alyeska. The remaining $15,000 will be divided for the overall segment prizes (to be split between the rider and videographer) - $7,000 for first place, $3,000 for second place and $2,000 for third place, plus three $1,000 “preems” for “Best Line,” “Biggest Air” and “Worst Wreck.”

RED BULL FUEL + FURY

Considered the premier freestyle snowmobile competition in the world, Red Bull Fuel + Fury’s origins are in Jackson, Wyo., when in its second year of competition in 2003, Jay Quinlan performed the first backflip in competition history. In 2004 and 2005, the event moved to an urban environment at the abandoned Pabst Brewery complex in Milwaukee, Wis., and featured a unique course with double the jumps and elements the riders faced in prior competitions. In 2006, Red Bull Fuel + Fury will return to its roots: the backcountry.
