This evening I attended a private screening of the Sundance-premiered film The Crash Reel and even got a picture with Kevin Pearce!! Kevin soared on to the professional snowboarding stage, becoming the athlete to watch in this ever-evolving sport. Kevin won The Arctic Challenge in 2007 & completed back to back titles with victory in 2008. He was also the first man to earn two Air & Style rings in one season, winning the Nokia Air & Style in Munich in 2007 & the Billibong Air & Style in Innsbruck in 2008. In 2007-2008 season he won the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour, garnering the TTR World Tour Champion title. He won three medals at the 2008 Winter X Games XLL in Aspen, Colorado. He was also the first athlete on X Games History to compete in three medal events in one day. In 2009 he was critically injured during training in Park City, Utah. He was left with a traumatic brain injury. His story is amazing & he is an amazing man. If you get the chance I highly recommend watching this documentary. Its tender & I loved it!!
