Move over, Vladimir Putin. Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead also does public displays of mildly dangerous machismo. Putin is the Russian leader famous for stunts such as petting a polar bear and riding a horse while bare-chested. On Thursday, Mead took part in the World Championship Snowmobile Hill Climb. The annual event draws thousands of people to Jackson Hole. The object of a hill climb is to ride a snowmobile as far as you can up a steep slope and back down again. Many competitors tumble hundreds of feet downhill after wiping out. Mead did a quick run wearing a helmet and camel hair sport coat. He says he didn't go as far uphill as he wanted to because he didn't want to wreck the sled he'd borrowed to ride.
