The video footy is in Yearbook. He broke his back in 3 spots, pushed bones through his heels, etc.

I talked to him after the Yearbook Premier. He seems to be totally fine now and was skiing 3 months after the accident.

It's definitley one of the craziest shots I've ever seen!

04 not 01 and he recovered fine, ironic because he always overshoots by 50.

he came up short only b/c there was a snowboarder was in the in-run in a spot whare it was to late to swerve off the in run. he dident see him b/c he was on the other side of a nole in the in run. its amazing how he was killing it this summer after that.

Im pretty sure there wasn't a snowboarder. He was getting practice tow-ins on one sled, then for his real attempt, they used a different sled with not as much power. Hence, coming up short.
