I think it was his own brand, and I suppose he took advantage of social networks and promoted them there

A lot of those snowmobiling accidents occur while they are riding drunk at night. I remember reading once about one particular rider who was drunk and travelling at a high rate of speed. He drove his machine right through a barn and came out the other side. Dramatic deaths can make for lasting memories.
