My Facebook feed was filled with #prayforCaleb and #31style hashtags throughout that weekend as Caleb Moore fought for his life after being speared in the chest by his snowmobile when a freestyle trick went tragically wrong.
I remember hearing the news three years ago that one of the two snowmobile-flipping Moore brothers from Texas had sustained life-threatening injuries in the ESPN Winter X Games. His story reminds us that we can dream-and sometimes achieve the impossible, that we can follow our own path, that we can lose something, lose everything, only to find it again-often in the most unlikely place. Catching the Sky is a clear-eyed look at extreme sports, what drives people to take wild chances, and how one man, Colten, couldn't stop even after the worst possible outcome. In this vivid, page-turning narrative, Colten Moore offers a profound and deeply moving perspective on his life and that of his brother. If it had wheels, they could flip it-often higher and better than anyone else-leading a band of pioneers intent on breaking new ground and in a new sport before multitudes of fans at the X Games and beyond. The Moore brothers, with their boundary-exploding athleticism, innovation and appetite for risk, became stars on the burgeoning freestyle ATV and snowmobile circuits. Their dreams, paired with hard work and family sacrifice, eventually became reality. But instead of working the landor the cattle that fed upon it, the Moore brothers, Colten and Caleb, heeded another call.
Dust and prairie were abundant on the Texas Panhandle, the land that gave birth to generations of Moores.
A transcendent story about risk and the pursuit of happiness, family, and the bond between brothers.
