509's journey started with Tom Delanoy's deep passion for snowmobiling. In 2003, Delanoy envisioned creating a snowmobile film featuring himself and local riders in Spokane, Washington. Through countless hours on the mountain and mastering video editing techniques, Delanoy completed his first snowmobile film.

Joe Parsons' indomitable spirit, extraordinary talent, and enduring connection with 509 have firmly established him as a trailblazer in the world of snowmobile freestyle. His fearless approach to the sport and unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries have inspired a new generation of riders.

 Matt Potratz, a renowned snowmobile athlete, has left an indelible mark on the world of backcountry riding. With his exceptional skills and fearless approach, Potratz pushed the boundaries of what can be achieved on a sled. However, life took an unexpected turn during a filming session when an avalanche nearly claimed his life.

Brett Turcotte, a formidable force in the snowmobile freestyle world, has captivated audiences with his unrivaled talent, fearless riding style, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Throughout his remarkable career, Turcotte has left an indelible mark on the sport, pushing the boundaries of what is possible on a sled. 

In the world of snowmobiling, the release of a highly anticipated film can bring together a community of passionate riders, creating an atmosphere of excitement and camaraderie. Such was the case with the premiere of "First Ascent". Held in 2006 at Northern Quest Casino, this event marked a milestone in the snowmobiling community, drawing hundreds of enthusiastic attendees.

The humble beginnings of 509 Films with "First Ascent" exemplify the power of passion, dedication, and the pursuit of a vision. From the solo endeavors of filming, editing, and production, to the collaboration with a local company for distribution, "First Ascent" laid the groundwork for the growth and success of 509 Films.

Before the introduction of specialized snowmobiling goggles, snowmobilers often resorted to using ski or snowboarding goggles or modular helmets. However, that all changed when 509 unveiled their groundbreaking Sinister goggle.  

509 initially made waves in the industry with the launch of their Sinister Goggle. The success of the Sinister goggle laid a strong foundation for 509 to expand their goggle range and cater to the evolving needs of riders. Building upon the success of their groundbreaking Sinister goggle, the brand has expanded its offerings to include the Aviator and Dirt Pro goggles.  

The launch of the Evolution Snowmobile Helmet in 2009 not only marked a significant milestone for 509 but also set the stage for a seamless integration with their previously successful Sinister and Aviator goggles. With a dedication to providing riders with a complete gear solution, 509 ensured that the Sinister and Aviator goggles perfectly complemented the Evolution Helmet, offering riders an unparalleled fit and performance.
