June 25, 2015 – Tucker Hibbert's record-breaking snocross season just earned him an ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) Award nomination in the Best Male Action Sports Athlete category. It’s Hibbert’s third nomination and if he wins, he’ll become the first snowmobiler in history to take home this prestigious award.

Alongside Hibbert, Supercross champion Ryan Dungey, skateboarder Nyjah Huston, snowboarder Mark McMorris and freestyle motocross athlete Josh Sheehan were selected by a panel of judges for their standout performances in action sports.

“With all the talented action sports athletes around the world, it’s a huge honor to be nominated but I’d really like to take home the ESPY this year. A snowmobiler has never won this award so it’d be a big win for the sport. I know snowmobilers are a passionate group of people so hopefully they’ll all put in their vote!”
