– Brock Hoyer wins gold at the 2017 Winter X Games

Hoyer, 30 of Williams Lake, became the first person ever to win a snow bike cross gold medal at last year’s Aspen X Games — the first time the sport was held at the event — and wants to put the rest of the world on notice he is only getting better in the sport.

“That’s the plan — to show how hard I’ve been working and to go down and win another gold medal and bring it back home,” Hoyer told the Tribune.
