Hoyer gets bronze medal in snowmobile freestyle

Ellsworth's Justin Hoyer now has all three colors of medals from the Winter X Games.

ASPEN, Col. - Ellsworth's Justin Hoyer now has all three colors of medals from the Winter X Games.

Hoyer won the bronze as he totaled a score of 85.66 on his second run in the snowmobile freestyle which took place Thursday evening at Buttermilk Mountain Resort.

Hoyer won gold at the Winter X Games, which is put on by ESPN, in 2010 and took silver in 2009 and 2011. Hoyer will at least leave these games with a medal as he broke his arm in last year's X Games trying to win the snowmobile Best Trick competition with a double-flip of the sled.

Hoyer will again compete in the Best Trick which will take place Sunday evening. The event will broadcast on ESPN from 9-11 p.m.
