WESLEY SANDOVAL

 

Straight out of the Rocky Mountains two miles high he was born

and raised in Leadville, Colorado.

His parents got him involved in snowmobiling, four wheeling,

skiing, fishing, hunting, and wrestling at an early age!

Growing up as a wrestler and excelling to a national level

he always loved a challenge and was taught that hard work pays off!

After going to college he started working in construction

and after four years he worked his way to the top starting

Sandoval Construction specializing in building custom mountain homes and welding!

The starting of his business enabled him to purchase his first dirt bike and sled a

1999 700 RMK, on which he did his first cornice drop and 100' air.

 

His passion for the sport grew just as

his backcountry airs grew doing huge 137'

cornice drops and 184' airs.

This was just a typical weekend of

riding and having fun hucking his sled with the

local boys! 

During the 2007-08 season he was invited to

his first filming session with

Braaap films and he killed it with his sick backcountry riding style,

conquering and destroying every natural hit like it

was one of his wrestling opponents!

He was the third person to attempt the infamous barrel role

and it landed him on the cover of Braaap (krazy) 8

with a full segment and a krazy bonus segment!

Since then he started expanding his snowmobile

discipline with freestyle

by building his own ramps and throwing

down some new tricks, superman’s,

 Indian airs and some of the sickest

ramp whips out there!

He premiered in his first rock band video by

hucking his sled multiple times over the band

(DEEP SHAG "FIGHT THE REAL LIFE")

while they were playing!

Wes is also  featured in the  Braaap snowmobile movies,

 

 

Braaap 9,  Narly Nine  and  BRAAAP 10
