doesnt anyone find it weird that there are no shout outs to him getting better after this edit seen as it was while filming this that he got hurt?

That sucks so bad. But I'm so stoked to see Pekka on the road to recovery, and the support from the community. My favourite thing about skiing, (other than actually skiing) is the way the community will always band together to help a fellow skier.

Pekka had the most amazing double cork - a true double cork, oozing with style, I really hope he can get that back soon.

What a soldier.

i understand that injury perfectly cause i have the excact same one as you, the talking is lack of coordination in speaking and breathing and the ataxia is the waking disabilities, it must be pretty hard for you to go from a skier doin dubles to a skier doin the bunny hill and i use u as an inspiration myslef.

Can someone please explain to me what happened to him? I felt so bad even though I have no clue he is. Going from shredding real hard to having trouble talking. Stay determined!

10/10 to EVERYONE who posted kind words for Pekka in this thread. Vibes! He was such a sick skier too! So inspiring and sad at the same time, I'm sure he appreciates the support so keep it coming NS!
