Biography
Heggstad was a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club.
Heggstad left California on October 1, 2001, riding a Kawasaki KLR650, planning to ride to the tip of South America. He was kidnapped riding through Colombia by National Liberation Army (ELN) rebels on November 6, 2001. He was released on December 8, 2001 and refused a ticket home, arranging for a new motorcycle instead. His ordeal was documented in an episode of the National Geographic Channel series Locked Up Abroad. Sticking to his original plan, he continued his ride to Patagonia and back home to California. He has since written a book about his experience titled Two Wheels Through Terror.
There are many recreational / fun games that can be played on ice during ice skating besides official sports like Ice hockey, Curling, or Figure skating. Some of them are the ice-skating versions of other tag games played on ground.
Tag
The players select one or more chaser. The chasers have to catch the others by touching them. After this the caught person will be the chaser. It can be played that the new chaser can catch the person who just catch him/her immediately, or it's not allowed to catch the same person, or a time frame should be elapsed before that. It can be stated that only some part of the body can be touched (e.g. only legs) which makes the game harder.
Tag (variant)
The players (4-8 people) select one chaser, and the chaser points out one chased person. The chaser have to catch the chased person, the others can't be caught. But if somebody traverse through between the chaser and the chased, the new chased person will be that traversing person. (See diagram) There are many tactics for both the chaser and the chased person. E.g. the chased person can move in such a way that somebody moves between them, so a slower person can compensate by moving wisely. An outsider can help the chased person by traversing between the chased person and the chaser quickly. In this case the chaser must turn which slows them down. The person who is caught becomes the new chaser.
Pom-Pon
The game played on a rectangular area by 10-20 people. One person is selected as the first chaser, who goes to the middle of the rink. His/her role is to catch the others who try to get from one side to the other of the rink. The two opposite sides (10%-10% of the whole area) are considered 'base' where the catchers can't go. The caught people will become chasers too, and have to catch the remaining people. The one who remains the last uncaught person is the winner, and will be the first chaser of the next game. The winner has to catch only one person during the next game, and will be an ordinary player after he/she has caught somebody, so winning is not a punishment for anybody.
Tags-Out
The game played on a rectangular area by 10-20 people. 5-6 players are selected as the chasers. They have to chase the others. If somebody is caught, he/she has to go to the side of the rectangular area and holds the others caught players' hand forming a wall of the caught players. Some of the chasers will guard this wall; If an uncaught player touches the front of this wall the player shouts 'tags-out' and all the players will be free, and the chasing starts again from the beginning. If all the players are caught, the chasers win. If the chasers can't catch all the players within a time frame, a new game begun with other chasers.

Career
XFactor1 had set out to produce a new, unique sound by taking a variety of familiar sounds and combining them to create something new. This combination was featured in "Live Another Day". This DVD/CD combo had reached a wide audience and ignited what would be known as "XNation". The band fared well in the overall sweepstakes in the fall of 2008, when bands were given the opportunity to share the stage with Mötley Crüe by winning votes from fans. XF1 made it into the later stages of the competition.
XF1, while remaining an unsigned band, has had sponsorships from Jagermeister, Speed Devil Clothing, Godin Guitars, Graffix Rock Promotions, and Studio 7. XF1 had made a proposal to their loyal fans, that within a one hundred day period, over ten thousand copies of the album "American Dream" would be sold. This proposal was made on July 13th 2008, and the final count was made on September 20th. The final count came out to 10,806 cds sold.
Along with a very quick rise of popularity, XF1 had become quickly recognized by major bands, and has shared the stage with bands such as Disturbed, Mushroomhead, Dope, Stone Sour, Lacuna Coil, Nonpoint, Shadows Fall, Hatebreed and countless others. XF1 has toured regularly throught the North East USA with several reknowned bands.
