CR Johnson dies at Squaw Valley

cr johnson

C. R. JohnsonCharles Russell Johnson was an American freestyle skier and freeride pro. Today he lost his life in a accident fall while skiing a steep chute at Squaw Valley, California, his home mountain.

Huffingtonpost says:

Johnson, 26, who has competed in the Winter X Games, was skiing with a group of friends Wednesday afternoon when he fell while trying to negotiate a “very, very tight, rocky area,” said Jim Rogers, a member of the Lake Tahoe-area resort’s ski patrol.

He fell face-first, then spun around and struck the back of his head on rocks in the Light Towers area of the resort. Johnson was wearing a helmet, but Rogers said the helmet took a serious blow.

Omfg!

He already had one horrific accident in 2005, at Brighton, Utah. C.R. had a  serious brain injury when Kye Peterson accidentally landed on him. After that, he was put into a medically-induced coma for 10 days. It was a long way back for him. He had to relearn even the most basic motor skills and even talking.

Ridelike.pro team mourns this really unique rider a lot. And now let’s remember who was Charles Russel for the world of extreme sports. He was the first skier to do a 1440, four complete 360 degree spins. He won the US Open against Tanner Hall in 2002. He had a lot of gold, silver and bronze in Winter X Games. (Superpipe, Big Air, Slopestyle)

Rest In Peace C.R.

And here some tight freeride moves by Charles in this video:

Sandboarding pro: Raymond Inixab

Raymond 2

Hey hey hey, i m back, and this time with sandboarding pro Raymond!

Raymond Inixab is one of the world’s most experienced sandboarders, with 2 World Sandboarding Championships under his belt (2001 & 2002) and a sandboarding training business in Namibia – home to the world’s largest sand dunes.

Raymond 3

As well as training mere mortals how to master the art of sandboarding, Raymond has also taught A-List celebs including hollywood’s hottest couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, whilst they were holidaying in Africa.

Raymond’s skills are often called upon by film and advertising companies across the globe. He co-ordinated a *Seal* Music Video and worked on the BBC’s‘Tropic of Capricorn’ series, as well as countless commercials for global companies such as Coca Cola and Audi. When a sandboarding stunt is needed – Raymond is your man.

Facts and Figures

Raymond is 33 years old and born in Khorixas, in Damaraland Namibia.

He is married and has 3 young children.

And just so you know…

He is a keen footballer and plays in a 2nd division football team – ‘Swakop United F.C. Alongside his playing duties, Raymond also teaches the youth team and is the club manager.

And here are some sandboarding tips:

Raymond’s Top Sandboarding tips

1. Keep your knees bent at all times

2. Your weight must be in the middle of the board, if you put too much weight on your front foot, you’ll wipe out

3. Don’t be afraid of speed. In sandboarding its important to keep you speed up or you will lose balance and hit the deck before you know it

4. Loose the fear. Unlike hard snow or ice, sand is gentle to land on, so don’t be afraid of falling over

5. Don’t carve as much as snowboarding as it will slow you down too much. If you do need to change direction or slow down slightly, opt for sharp slalom style carving over large and slow carving
