Sorry for posting a video in the forum but just want to get this to everybody and say we're pumped you're back LJ and appreciate your amazing attitude, excitement and determination in coming back from such a terrible injury!



The 11/12 winter season was on track to be the greatest season of LJ Strenio's life filled with fun park sessions in the US, powdery heaven in Europe and a trip to the urban rail mecca of Finland with Level 1. As we know too well with all this fun there is the possibility of injury & consequence. A shattered kneecap in Finland sidelined LJ for the rest of the year and through rehab, determination and the great attitude that LJ is known for is back for more!

Wow, that was crazy to watch. being able to relate to that to a small extent when i broke my tibia about 2 months ago made my palms sweaty. from immediate impact to the screaming again and again and all the thoughts rushing through your head at the time just sucks. that was gnarly.

I laughed a little through most of that... Just because I thought I was the only one that got super polite when I'm injured. Also, the anger at the end... I know exactly what that's like.

Props for coming back as quick and strong as you have, that's not something most could have done.

LJ is such a motherfucking boss! I could not have returned to skiing after obliterating my knee like that. At least not NEARLY as fast. I think my brain may have exploded laying on the snow after it happened.

Dude's made of steel.

that was so tough to watch especially since I have battled knee injuries as well. It's so awesome to see how resilient the human spirit can be especially after such trauma. Way to go LJ, inspiring to say the least

I remember LJ showing my group this at windells. He thought the phases he went through after it happened were funny when we watched it, denial, pain, adrenaline, thirsty, sad, ahaha LJ is the man!
