Vision Kia Eastern Nationals: Cancelled
The Vision Kia Eastern Nationals in Farmington, New York, have proven to be a challenge. We had prepared ahead of time with plenty of snow, but Mother Nature has not been kind. Because of rain and warm temperatures, the snow has taken a hit and the decision has been made not to run this event.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. We have done everything possible to fulfill our obligations to our sponsors, our racers and our fans alike, but unfortunately, we cannot control the weather and it just isn’t possible. All entries will be refunded.

Jimmy Blaze Fejes Sits Out for Winter X 2012.
Aspen, CO (January 26, 2012) – Team LaVallee brought on Jimmy Blaze Fejes last week to represent the team at Winter X Games 2012, for the snowmobile freestyle event held tonight (Thursday) at 8:15pm-9:00pm central standard time. Unfortunately, before practice yesterday – Fejes had to go through ESPN/XGames medical in order to get cleared to ride at XGames. Fejes had broken his femur two months ago, riding his snowmobile at a freestyle show held in Mexico. Since then, he had gotten clearance from his doctor in Texas, but the ESPN/XGames medics did not give Fejes the green light to ride. Fejes will now sit out for the 2012 Winter X Games.
“It has been a tough go for our team and finding a healthy rider for the X Games. We did all we could and it just wasn’t in our favor this year.” states Glenn Kafka (co-owner to Team LaVallee).
Levi LaVallee will however be commentating tonight during the Freestyle final and will also be on X Center following tonights XGames coverage. Be sure to tune in tonight, (Thursday – Jan. 26th) from 8:00-9:15pm central standard time on ESPN for the snowmobile freestyle competition.

Longville, MN (January 23, 2012) - With Team LaVallee’s freestyle riders, Levi LaVallee and Daniel Bodin out for Winter X Games 2012 (both were injured in separate training incidents during preparation for X Games), Team LaVallee was on the hunt – looking for a freestyle rider that could represent Team LaVallee.
Jimmy “Blaze” Fejes was called last week to see if he would be interested in representing Team LaVallee for the 2012 Winter X Games. With less than a week before the games begin, Fejes accepted the offer and was on the next flight to northern Minnesota to train at Levi LaVallee’s facility.
“We were excited coming into Winter X Games 2012 knowing we had two top level riders, and unfortunately both got hurt. And being this late in the game, we are fortunate to be able to bring on another XGames caliber rider, such as Jimmy Blaze Fejes, on to our team.” states Glenn Kafka (co-owner to Team LaVallee).
Fejes has attended multiple Winter X Games and most recently took 3rd place at Red Bull: Fuel + Fury, 2011 – a snowmobile freestyle competition held at iconic Wrigley Field, an event that was hosted by Levi LaVallee.
