Red bull having a rough year on the big mountain scene. First @Ahmets_Brother and now Johnny collinson going down.


In all seriousness though seems like a lot of injured out of the wasatch this year, and that sounds like one of the worst knee injuries I've ever heard of for Mr.Collinson

Yup. Happened at red bull raid in the CII bowl at squaw. Was really stoked to see johnny ski but got to the comp late and missed the first half. Heard it was a really gnarly fall. Full cart down and everything. Hoping he recovers the best he can.

Holy shit. That is brutal. I am really curious to see the fall now if it did that much damage.

Damn I feel really bad for him considering this is only op 1/2. I know he gets memed on a lot because of his pretty boy attitude but man is one of the strongest skiers physically in the game and I can’t imagine how he feels rn, wishing him a good recovery and hopefully he’ll be able to ski again even if it’s not fwt shit
