Saturday night at xgames as skiers were warming up for big air, there was a dude doing follow cams with a gopro over the jump. He went down hard to his face. Laying on the snow for a good 20 min then left in a sled. There was also blood on the snow where he was laying. Any body have any more news on this? Who was he and is he alright?

I'm taking a wild guess that it was Caleb Farro? Don't think it was Mayers

It was Myers. He's got a wicked concussion but is otherwise fine.

Btw I was watching the Big Air warm ups from the top of the pipe and saw some guy fall over the lip after speed checking. ABM rushed over after a few minutes and then the skier had to leave in a sled.

Any word on who that was / what happened?
