Superman himself. Much like his alias, Blair was raised on a farm. He began riding snowmobiles and motorcycles at a young age and kept it up through his teens, showing considerable skill. |
| Blair honed his natural talents and, inspired by his brother, entered his first snowmobile race in 1997. He won "Rookie of the Year" that season and never looked back. |
