The X Games animation was a bit quirky but it led to two full seasons of 3D Track Maps for WSA Snocross that were shown on ESPN 2 from 2000 to 2002. WSA staff would photograph the tracks and email me the photos and basic course layouts on Sunday nights following each event. I would have one week to model each track, animate a snocross racer, render the animation and Fed Ex it to the production company in New Jersey in time for the broadcast. I never missed a show.

In late 2000 I learned of a supercross racing game being built in Salt Lake City by Acclaim Entertainment. I sent them my resume and in January 2001 I hired on as an animator and moved to Utah.
