Mike’s Story

Mike was looking forward to his best snocross season yet, excited to get to work with his new team. His hard work and training over the summer had paid off; he was in the best physical condition he’d ever been in. At the second stop of the ISOC Amsoil Championship Snocross Series in Ironwood, MI, everything changed. While battling for a transfer spot, Mike landed awkward after a jump severely fracturing his left knee. Over the next few days, Mike endured several surgeries, but the doctors were unable to save his leg and had to amputate it above the knee. On Christmas Eve, Mike was released from the hospital and immediately got to work. Since the accident, Mike has adapted to his new leg and never looked back. His racer mentality has helped him to set and already achieve new goals. Mike was back on his snowmobile within a month of being released from the hospital and even raced in the Mechanics’ Race at the ISOC Finale in March.

Mike’s new goal is to be competitive again in Motocross and Snocross. He is working on perfecting a new knee that he designed and fabricated to enable him to ride close to the level he was at before. He already has achieved a silver medal in the Extremity Games (7/11/09) and the Summer X-Games (7/31/09) adaptive motocross events joining the ranks of only a few other athletes who have competed in both Summer and Winter XI. With these new goals in his sights, there is nothing that will slow this guy down!

"I still wear and have worn a Tekvest since the beginning of my career in 1998. There is nothing else on the market that gives so much protection against the aggressive traction products we use in snocross."

Dennis Kavish

A few years ago doing a ride with Rally Connex up in Sudbury I was booting down an old abandoned road behind a buddy of mine only to see him hit what looked like a small rock in the road and him depart his bike at about 70km/hr. He was no where near the graceful vision of Superman flying through he air, but more a vision of the pain that he was going to receive on impact with the rhubarb and rocks that were lining the road.

On impact he managed to suffer some well-bruised ribs and right shoulder blade, and his bike fairing much worse. In retrospect, he should have suffered much much worse, broken ribs for sure and quite possible a broken collarbone and possibly separated shoulder. The lucky thing was that he was wearing Tekrider’s Rally Sport TekVest.

From that weekend on my hot stuffy, smelly, black, nylon and plastic form fitting body style armour was a nuisance and I was jonesing for a Tekvest...

Dane Ferguson

I'm X Games gold medalist Dane Ferguson. I’m a freestyle snowmobile rider as well as an avid mini bike, dirt bike and Polaris RZR rider. I wear my Tekvest because I have somewhere to be Monday morning.

There is no doubt in my mind that my Tekvest has done a tremendous job of keeping me safe, not to mention, alive. Whether it was the time I got speared in the chest riding my bike down a wooded trail, my sled landing on me during a failed flip attempt or the 2 times I violently rolled the RZR. Without the Tekvest I would have definitely caused organ damage and my hospital bills would have been a lot more expensive. Not to mention all the times it kept me out of the hospital all together!

I wear my Tekvest any time I ride motorized toys...no doubt about it!
