On New Years Eve Burton rider Kevin Pearce had a serious accident in an icy halfpipe while getting-to-grips with Doublecorks. He sustained a massive head injury despite wearing a helmet and is now in intensive care at the Utah University Hospital in Salt Lake City.
Hopefully this amazing snowboarder doesn’t become a legend for the wrong reasons, doctors are happy with his critical but stable condition. If all the readers of this site/forum could join the facebook page which has been put together by his ‘Fends’ and Family and wish the boy some luck that’d be swell:
