Adaptive Action Sports was proud to sponsor the Adaptive Division during the 2007 United States of America Snowboard Association National Championship in Northstar-at-Tahoe on March 31 – April 7. Since 2000, the Adaptive Division of USASA has provided opportunities for athletes with permanent physical disabilities to participate in an organized adaptive snowboard competition. The events available to adaptive snowboarders are: Slalom, Giant Slalom, Boardercross, Halfpipe, and Slopestyle. Read more about it here.
Snowboarding is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and my disability is probably the worst thing that’s ever happened to me…. At the same time, it’s turned out to be the best thing, because if I hadn’t lost my leg, and I hadn’t learned to snowboard, I don’t know exactly where I’d be.
It gives me direction.
I’m one of the featured adaptive riders in the new film Snowblind.
For more information on the Snowblind movie, check out snowblindthemovie.com. To find me on the site, click RIDERS, and you’ll see my name on the left-hand side.
