My best friend that I knew since the second grade was recently involved in a serious skiing accident around noon yesterday. Skiing down a run at Breckenrdge, he was blindsided and consequently shot into trees. Thankfully, he was wearing his helmet which shattered and saved his life. He was immediately air lifted to St. Anthony's hospital in Denver. He is currently in critical condition and has multiple fractures in his spine, massive brain trauma, and his main artery to his left arm was completely ruptured. As a result, he may never regain use of his left arm and will have to undergo months of therapy. At this point we are not sure if he will ever make a full recovery. Attached to this thread are pictures of him skiing (he is the one in the black and khaki lethal decent jacket.) For those of you who have never had the chance to meet this amazing person but, to say he brightened everyones day is a complete understatement. The last picture is about half of the people that showed up to show him and his family support after this incident.
What I am asking of the Newschoolers Community
1. Send the homie and his family vibes.
2. Please Please wear a helmet
3. I would love to get Alexi Godbout's Contact info via PM(he was his coach at Evolve Chile this Summer)
4. Help get this to Lethal Decent. When he was air lifted, they had to cut all of his outerwear. He was planning on getting a brand new lethal decent suit next week and it would be awesome to get him a new one!
5. Pray. For a fast and full recovery.
Keep up the good work, Jonny. I broke my back five months ago and I am still healing, but I can't imagine what you are going through. You've been to hell and back, man
NobassettBumblesteeze and ECB... he's been good for a while :)
Well I mean he's still in the process of recovering... as I recall one of his arms is totally messed up in regards to the nerves and he can't move it, but this was a while ago. I'll try and find the thread where Jonny himself gave an update.

"I would say I am close to one hunnid besides the left arm, which is fully numb and paralyzed due to avulsed nerves in the neck/spinal cord region. I am sctually in Minnesota right now at the mayo clinic talking with doctors here about possible surgical options that could restore elbow flection, but besides that there is not much that can be done for the arm at this point. Maybe in 20 years there will be some crazy new procedure haha who knows. The proposed surgery is set for july 15 but I am still mot sure if I will go through with it. In the meantime, if you ever see someone shreddin with one arm in CO or at hood this summer, give a holler cuz it is most likely me"
"DMSO tends to protect nerve cells... following injury. It provides better protection than any other treatments. Scientists have verified this by observation with the electron microscope and the light microscope. Thus DMSO prevents the paralysis that may ensue following trauma; it alters the severe effects seen after a brain stroke".
DMSO - "oral, topical or intravenous injection. DMSO limits damage propagation and aids long-term repair. This wonder drug is ignored because it has no patent."
