Taylor Fisk

We never really intended to dive into the world of snowmobiling but we’ve been getting a response from the sled crowd so we figured why not. The goal of Local Heroes Northwest is to bring exposure to up and coming athletes and help them get the support they need so they can maximize their potential. Taylor Fisk is one such athlete and this kids got a lot going on, sponsors listen up.

Taylor recently landed himself on the cover of Whiteout Magazine for his skill on a sled as well as a dirt bike. Check out the May/June issue of Whiteout Magazine for Taylor’s feature. The 17 year old Spirit Lake native has experimented with all forms of powersports from dirt bikes to quads but found himself at home on a sled. Like many young riders today trying to make it without any form of real support, Taylor found himself being limited by his equipment. Though he didn’t let that stop him, mom and dad finally agreed and helped him out with a new sled for the 2010 season. With minimal seat time, Taylor has already surpassed what he could do on his previous machine.

We respect people like Taylor. Anyone can sit back and complain about the limits of their machine. Hardcore people go out and get the job done despite sub par equipment. Visit any motocross track in the nation and you’ll see people on bikes that far surpasses their ability. Point being, if I can beat you on a stock quad, you don’t need to be riding that built to the hilt machine your sitting on. Give it to somebody like Taylor who’s already proved himself as a wildchild behind the bars of a sled and watch him go to work.

I firmly believe that perseverance pays off. Stick with anything long enough and you’ll at least get your shot. Taylor is working hard to make things happen and for this young ripper it’s only a matter of time. Check back regularly for updates on Taylor and watch his rags to riches story unfold. It’s gonna be good.
