Idaho Snowmobiler Says Despite Tragedy, He's Not Fazed

Middleton resident Heath Frisby has made a career out of racing and jumping snowmobiles since he was 14. Now, at 28 he's considered one of the best freestyle snowmobilers in the world.

His sport, though, has been hit by tragedy. Texan Caleb Moore crashed during a jump at ESPN's X Games in Colorado. He suffered a brain injury and later died

That prompted organizers in Michigan over the weekend to cancel a similar jumping competition at their event. That gave us a chance to sit down with Heath Frisby at his home where he's been healing from an injury.
