I'm sorry guys, but I think he's totally fucked. The guy is lucky if he even walks again. He was an awesome skier, could have become great. Really sad story.

i thought it was on a small table or something, so he just hit it like way too fast and was just trying like a misty or something. Either way i hope he's alright.

to sum it up, he's just gonna take a while to cover but he'll come back 100% eventually and make us cry with proposterous aerial gyrations

pDandoy, please don`t say you think he is totally fucked up, have some respect. I met him the other day, and he is still in his chair, but training every single day to recover, he`s never going to give up, he pushes himself hard. He can move his right foot, not the left yet. He has also operated a plate in his neck, less movement in that area. Hopefully he will able to walk again, he is such a great guy and i wish him the best of luck...

like hendrik said, the last big thing we've heard was that he could wiggle his right toes. hes driving a car with the acceleration and brakes on the steering wheel, and his drive for recovery is greater than anyone on this sites drive to go skiing. Lars is an incredible person, with such a unique style. i dont think many people appreciate how good he was, and how good he will be

obviously you didnt read all the replys...last everyone heard lars was just starting to regain feeling/movement in his right toes/foot. right now he drives his car with all the acceleration/braking controls on the steering wheel.

anyway, gl and best wishes lars. get well soon.

i mean i hope that hes gonna skiing again and maybe at his old level. but i think if the infos you guys got are true, he prob would appreciate just the fact of being able to walk again. So bad... Good luck Lars... Hope your becoming healthy again.

"for reals is everyone in here kidding?? OK first of all if you dont know what chads gap is thats kinda lame. Secondly They have been hitting chads gap for some time now. Im surprised now one has seen the cllip of candide thovex sticking a D spin over chads gap. Its kinda been around alot and been in a few articles." - TravisMC in a thread where everyone made fun of the creator who asked if chads had been hit with skis. thx alot

Lars is still in the chair, but working hard on his rehab. This injury is not of a kind where you just get fresh overnight. Or at all. It´s just too early to say, but I would be very glad - and positively surprised - if I ever see Lars walking again. His mood and motivation is unbelievably positive, though, typical Lars-style.

The accident happened in Mammoth in December 2004 while shooting for Teddybear Crisis, but I didn´t see a single credit to Lars in the TBC movie or the rolltext. At least Rostrup and Ostness could have created something as a tribute to Lars in the movie, but there were absolutely nothing. Really bad, you ask me. Lars deserves more than that. When I watched TBC, it seemed like they just had forgotten about him and spent half the movie on Tanner instead. Lars Veen will forever be The Man. Period.

I agree he had a nasty part in NASM, I really really liked his 720 tweaked safety, simple but amazing trick that I wish I could recreate with such finesse, I hope he is able to walk again, all these injuries lately are sucking

"Stand Strong Again was formed in 2005, shortly after Professional Freeskier Lars Veen from Norway, suffered a crash that left him without feeling or function below his chest. Lars was 18 years old at the time. Since the accident, Lars has been focused on heavy rehabilitation and is recovering from his injuries and, in the process, showing us all what a true hero really is."

But still Rostrup and Ostness "forgot" to mention Lars Veen in TBC, not even a single line in the Credits. That sucks almost just as much. Lars had definitely deserved at least a sentence or a second.
