Saturday morning there was a snowboarder hurt between jumps 8-9. He landing on his back. I think he was wearing blue pants and a white coat I was just wondering if anyone knew him and how he's doing?

i dont know who you are talking about, but i know a lot of people have been getting broken off on the second jump of the last 4 pack, one of my buddys tore his acl for the 2nd year in a row and another got a pretty bad concussion, both from over shooting.

I don't know him personally, but I saw the aftermath, and talked to the guys who did see it. He went in wayyy to fast, snaked a friend of mine, and overshot to the flat.

Not sure. I do know they put him on a board and put a brace on his neck.

There was a lot of pop to that jump. Quit a bit more than the rest of them. Thats probably why the closed that ramp down.

Yeah that guy got wrecked. Went to straight to the heli for an air-lift out. No idea what he hurt etc. didn't see him fall. Was lapping the park while he was being attended to at the jumps and was inline at Saddleback when ski patrol brought him down.
