surfarthur 22 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Thanks for sharing this BM. Signed the petition, I find it hard to beleive that snowboarding is not in the special olympics. I hope that changes soon. Those athletes are an inspiration, I like to think that if i ever lost a leg, i would be able to continue snowboarding, and these guys prove that it is possible.
