ATVriders.com: Colten, tell me about the Winter X Games this year?
Colten Moore: I The X Games are a little different this year. They took out freestyle, which was my main event, so I am now in Speed and Style and the Long Jump. So basically, Speed and Style is a race combined with freestyle, so I had to go to a track and figured out how to turn these dang sleds!

ATVriders.com: How does it feel to bring home the gold in the Winter X Games Speed and Style?
Colten Moore: I feel like “Did that really happen?” I’m just super excited, I don’t even really know. To be out here in a race against all these guys that are super fast and to be able to pull it all off, I am pumped! I mean, I trained a little bit to go fast, but I definitely can’t keep up with these guys, but I could make up for it with my tricks. I knew I had to throw it down hard while I was in the air to keep up with them on the ground.
