In 2008 X Games Snocross racer Mike Shultz was in the prime of his career. A Minnesota-born athlete, Schultz grew up racing motor and snocross and was finding success on the pro circuit after battling his way up through the amateur ranks. During the second half of the 2008 racing season at an ISOC National Snocross race, Shultz lost control of his snowmobile and crashed, badly.
