His Bio 1440 in 1999 was and still is the sickest thing ever...

I must say, that if Tanner Hall didnt ski, this guy would be the most Dominant skier ever to come out of America ever...

Yo CR, this post is coming from Montana. I'm up at 2:30 A.M. trying to finish some last minute college shit. haha, typical
I been thinking about you alot up here man, living day to day, never taking anything for granted. I been trying to get through this college deal for the last 4 years and skiing on the side as much as I can.
I met you up at the Beartooth pass in Montana/Wyoming last summer when you came over to stay with T.Hall and check out the pass. It was a DOPE 1.5 weeks of my life. It was an honor being in your presence man. :)

Don't let yourself get depressed or any bullshit like that, thats your worst enemy. Keep your head up and Keep on truckin.

C.R. thanks for your contributions to a sport that is blowing up like no other. You’ve had one of the most amazing careers and I was truly saddened when I read about the accident. Over the years you’ve had some astonishing accomplishments. Having a signature line of outerwear along with skis and being part of The Bigger Picture is what kids like myself dream about and it plays a huge part in keeping the sport going and I thank you for that. I wish you the best of luck with your recovery!

CR, the first freestyle ski movie I ever watched was Area-51. I shit my pants when I saw you're part with that 1440 at squaw, it pretty much inspired me to start freestyle skiing and buy my first pair of twins, take it easy and get well buddy. You rip

heres what the article says

CR Johnson sustained a serious head injury last Thursday while filming inbounds at Brighton ski area in Utah.

Evan Raps, and several other riders who work with the film company C.R. is a part-owner of, The Bigger Picture, were filming an inbounds jump sequence that involved a rapid-fire succession of riders coming off a small hit — a practice common to ski and snowboard films. Raps, who jumped last in the group, and didn’t actually see the accident, told Freeskier that C.R. was the first off the jump, with Kye Peterson jumping directly after him, somehow coming out of the air and landing on C.R..

“I think it's important that people know C.R. was wearing a helmet when this happened,” says Evan Raps, who was at the scene of the accident. "We all decided to wear them full time this year. Unfortunately the impact was below the helmet brow. This was an accident and a freak thing."

Brighton ski patrol officially reports that the accident occurred inbounds and on the Millicent area of the mountain under the lift. He was air-lifted from Brighton to the University of Utah Hospital after the injury.

Currently C.R. is in very serious condition and being held in the critical care unit at the University of Utah hospital in Salt Lake City. He is in a coma. His mother Lorraine and father Russ are with C.R. in Utah.

C.R. Johnson has been an innovator friend in the ski industry since he was 15 years old. He first appeared in Freeskier with an impressive 1440 sequence photo taken at Squaw Valley in 1999 and has been a force in ski magazines and film ever since.

But far beyond C.R.’s huge athletic talent, he is a deeply thoughtful person who has worked diligently to progress the sport he loves both on and off the hill. Tonight C.R. and his family need the thoughts and prayers of all of those in the ski industry and beyond.

“C.R. improved for about 5 minutes yesterday. Yesterday was Sunday and the prayers of everyone must have helped. Russ put up a card from the McConkeys in C.R.’s room and I think that card from his friends helped too,” Lorraine told us today.

Our best thoughts are with C.R. and his family tonight and in the coming days. Please email your thoughts and words of support, love and encouragement for C.R. and his family to loveforCR@freeskier.com, and we will pass them on to the Johnsons.

If you want to send mail, his family has asked that you send it to:

CR

CR you are my idol, i have never really known you but still you always remembered my name and you were never judgemental. when i was 11 and only had seen you on the poster thats still in my room you and Evan changed my life with a five minute conversation. by showing me an example of how i wanted to live my it.

You are a shining example of what the ski industry needs for character and skiing abilities. without you we wouldnt have so much of what is now the core of this sport.

so i hope you and your family know what such a small amount of influence from such an awsome person can really change a life

get well soon
