Some of you on NS may know of one of our more low key team riders named James farmer. You may of sessioned with him at Mammoth, Big Bear, or Mt. Baldy. He is a quite kid, who expresses himself through his skiing.
On Easter Sunday, James and friend and team member Lars Ellingson were sessioning the jumps at Bear Mountain, throwing down some big stuff. Something went terribly wrong on a landing, and James took a big hit. He was air lifted out to the trauma unit, and has now fallen into a coma since Monday. He has suffered some bleeding and swelling to his brain, and some minor strokes, and is in very serious condition. For those who know him, or even don't at all, please send out your good vibes and thoughts his way. I believe this can really help in some unknown way. Our thoughts, and prayers go out to him and his Family. We are hoping for the best but also know how major a brain injury can be. James is now in intensive care at Palm Springs regional Hospital.
Thanks ns.
