FLUFFY LOVE
During the 90's, racetrack announcers were determined to turn snocross racing into a professional wrestling spin-off by tagging every professional and even some semi-profresional riders with over the top nicknames. From Captain Kirk and the Flying Finn to Scrap Iron and Monster Mike and many more, the race program looked like a WWE Smack Down event versus a snocross race. In hopes of becoming a much kinder and gentler sport (wink, wink) semi-pro rider Dylan Martin of Team Goodwin Performance is proving to be man enough to carry the "make love not war" torch into the season with the nickname "Fluffy". According to those close to Fluffy Martin, his strenuous Yoga regiment and a diet of granola bars and unfiltered prune juice inspired the name. Aaaaahhhh, we can fell the love already.
