Just back from the Yukon - filming Ross Mercer - PICS!!!

[Xtreme Velocity]

all I can say is unreal....ross has a snowcat and fuel from his sponsor Red Bull and hundreds of miles of untracked terrain at Haines Pass to ride...he is getting ready for his attempt at a double back flip! spent a week filming with him --- take the cat out to some incredible terrain and then accent the all ready sick natural terrain --- it seemed like every hit was 200+ feet with his sled 50-80' in the air. even had a blizzard last Monday for two days of snow and 60mph wind..huddled down in two little trailer campers trying to stay warm (the wind blew so hard it kept our furnances out)....

shot more HD action footage with one rider than I have ever shot with before including the likes of Burandt, Martin, etc.

a few still pics are on the tahoe photo gallery....

Iv'e watched Rosco ride for years, if it can be done he will do it.

I recall a ride I went on with him when he was about 15 years old, weighing in about 145 soaking wet. He shows up with a 98 Mach Z long track, I kind of chuckle and think who is this kid and how much of a pain in the *** is it going ot be to have this dead weight around.

As soon as he had the sled off the truck I was eating my works, the drops, air time and control he had on the tank was nothing short of impressive. He casually rode up to a free fall that had a slight lip on it, took a look circled around and stomped it, he free fell about 30-40 feet off the ground parrelel to the slope for about 250'. I was amazed, he chuckled and did it again.

Smooth rider, way to go Rosco!!
