Double-Amputee Snowboarder Rules Slopes

World champion adaptive snowboarder and double amputee Amy Purdy has lived and breathed snowboarding for most of her life, but when she lost both of her legs as a teenager and her slope shredding days seemed over, she pushed herself to keep going and became a gold medalist and an entrepreneur, and launched a non-profit to help other athletes like her.

She's a star who keeps shinning brighter and brighter as the years pass by. Thank you for creating the Para adaptive snowboarding for team USA. Keep living full out and setting the same amazing life saving example that you do to everyone who has ever underwent trauma.

Would've loved to have seen her real feet before she lost them

I just lost my right leg to a motorcycle accident. Currently laying in the hospital bed a month later caus the pain is so bad. Phantom pain mainly. I LIVE for snowboarding and really have no idea how to go about riding again but I WILL!! Worst part I am going through now is that when I get up on crutches, the blood rush just sets off the worst pain ever. I’ve been in the hospital over a month because they spent a month trying to save my foot. And I am in pain because I have had 5 surgeries and have now grown a tolerance to pain killers. Super unreal to my girlfriend and I.
