    Levi. Your such an awesome roll model. And this will give so many riders a lot to think about. I love that you mentioned social media. Once you say it…… it’s out there. Doesn’t matter how great of a guy you are. If you Loose your composure on something as big as social media… it can be bad for you and everyone around the team. I have loved watching all your journey. Polaris Forever 😊

      Thank you for following this crazy dream of mine!
      Being aware of your surroundings and how you are presenting yourself is huge. Social media is a powerful tool that can help or hurt. It is best to be overly cautious in what you write and post because you may not have ill intentions, but it can be perceived differently by others.

    You the man levi, keep the next generation in the sport of snocross. I have to go watch Canterbury and ERX every year. It's just in my blood

      Snocross has done so much for me, hopefully it can do the same for others.

    Excellent video. My child started racing snowcross this season in 120 stock. These are the values I will be teaching him as he develops both in motorsports and in life. Good luck to all your race teams this season!

    Had my son watch your videos before I shared this with him! He had seen them all before. He is only 8 but if he only took one thing away from this video! It was worth it!
    Son! I will show you this video at 13 again.
    Levi! Disputably This video proves you are the goat in snowcross! At the very least you are the “professor”. Thank you for everything you do in the sport.

      Far from the goat or professor, but I do love the sport and grateful for all that it has brought me.
      Enjoy the time racing with your son- lots of lessons to be learned and memories to be made!

    Awesome video! Good points for life in general. Do you have any advice for someone wanting to get into the team/mechanic side? Do you need certain qualifications or can you be trained in? I know it's a small group, how do you get your foot in the door? Anything else? Thanks!

    • @Levi_LaVallee

      If you have some experience working on Powersports vehicles is a start- working at a dealership etc. It's nice if you have worked on the race sleds before to speed up the learning curve, but if you haver experience working on sleds that helps.
      Big thing is being close to one of the race teams locations. that makes things a lot easier and cheaper for the teams then you can stay at home instead of having to get an apartment.

      Hello Cameron. Thank you for your input.
      Please elaborate on what you believe is more important than results in securing a spot on a professional race team. Perhaps that will help me understand your point better.

      Hi @@Levi_LaVallee.. 😊 .. a couple of things are Sponsor Loyalty .. as in .. making sure as a Rider you are not seen “promoting” a brand that conflicts with a Team Sponsor .. and .. willingness to be a Team Player .. granted this is not as “openly obvious” in sports such as Snowmobile Racing .. say versus Cycling .. but if you are not a TEAM PLAYER .. in general .. I’d certainly not want that person on my team

    Don't be a poor Sport. Back in the 1970's and maybe the 1980's the Japanese Motorcross Teams didn't even allow the riders to have a Tattoo.
