NAME: Levi LaVallee
NICKNAME: Launchin’ or Leapin’ (first it was Launchin,’ but then Aaron Christiansen started to call him the “leaper” and that kind of turned into his inside crowd nickname.)
AGE: 29
HEIGHT: 5-foot-6
WEIGHT: 155 lbs.
HOMETOWN: Longville, Minn.
SIBLINGS AND FAMILY: Wife (Kristen), Dad (Larry), Mom (Debbie), Sister (Lori)
EDUCATION: Northland H.S., Reamer, Minn.
OTHER INTERESTS: Wakeboarding and part-time Nitro Circus nut.
SECRET TO STAYING POSITIVE: A lot of Red Bull.
FIRST SLED: Scorpion Whip that his dad dug out of woods and got running, but really the first sled he put significant miles on was a 1990 Indy 400 that he got at age 8.
FAVORITE SLED: Says the new Polaris race sleds are awesome, but he has a special place in his heart for his 1994 XCR Special 440 race sled. Levi says it was so fast (with its slightly larger carb design than the next one) that he would line up next to just about anyone on the lakes and blow them away. He overheard guys saying “I’m gonna get that little kid!”
FAVORITE SAYING: “You can have anything you want if you just want it bad enough.”
