glad they did a little classier coverage on KP than what they did for the Georgian luger. (showing the death footage over and over again? really?)

So, I think Shaun White just may have a voodoo doll of the riders who may be a threat to him – and he’s just takin’em out one by one…

First Kevin Pearce

Now Danny Davis

For Real?

Mason – look out.

“A serious back injury will prevent American halfpipe snowboarder Danny Davis from competing in the 2010 Games.

The 21-year-old was injured in a four-wheeling accident over the weekend and will undergo spine surgery on Monday at a Utah hospital, according to a message on his Facebook site.” – CTV Olympic Website

Now Shaun White is the only one on the Olympic team?

::le sigh::

My wishes continue to go out to KP and now sadly out to DD for speedy recoveries.

xo

ps – just found out from my roommate that Mason is already out with a dislocated shoulder and a badly sprained Wrist…3 down…

By now everyone knows about Kevin and his super serious accident in the pipe.

with this – everyone has heard of the dick bag of a “woman” Christine Brennan.

this is my wall post after joining the FB group “snowboarders against Christine Brennan” :

“if the limit of the sport is controlled might as well make the next olypics the last since everyone will be at the same level. how can you say you need to limit how fast or how high an athlete can go to be the best. the next time a down hill racer crashes, i hope she says they need to put speed limit signs on the cours…e and bigger breaks on the skis – oh and bulk up the padding on their aerodynamic suits. or the next time a a luge cart crashes maybe make the course a little more flat and not so icy.

who the fuck does she think she is. i mean i have a vagina and all but to see a cunt bucket like THAT doing sports? its like seeing George W. give an IQ test.”

Here’s the video of her displaying her stupidity on national television

I follow Todd Richards on twitter (@btoddrichards) and his rants are, I’m sure, the exact feelings of anyone of us.

I want to send my love, wishes, and prayers out to Kevin and his family. The riding community is pullin for ya.

Pia and Simon Pearce, Kevin’s parents, have been by Kevin’s side at the hospital since his arrival. They would like to share: “ We cannot say enough good things about the doctors, nurses, and support staff here at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City. They have shown Kevin and our family the best of what modern medicine can offer and have been completely caring and supportive throughout this entire process.

Lets try and focus the positive vibes and energy towards KP and make his recovery the biggest slap in the face for Christine “cunt bucket” Brennan.
