Anyone who knows freestyle/big mountain skiing will have no doubt heard of this utter legend...CR Johnson....

He died on Wednesday at the age of just 26 when he hit his head on the rocks landing a cliff drop.

Feel pretty knotted up finding it out yesterday as I have been on my freestyle skis the last 6 years and am a big follower/fan of his! Thoughts are with family and friends :cry::(:annoyed::cry:

This is a video of his recovery from his accident 5 years back when he was in a coma for 2 weeks and how he was building his career back up.

From 3.00 on it sums it all up, hearing him say that is wierd now.....soundtrack to second pat of the video is sizzla - wildest dreams if anyone wants to know....

Oh no! I've heard of him but sticking with snowboards and only a cursury glance at skiers I don't know much about him. Looked rather good from what I can tell.

RIP Mr Johnson :(

thats shitty news:(

Sometimes all the protection in the world cant save you.

If there is any light from this story it's that he died doing something that he loved.
