Back in 2004, a flip on skis gone tragically wrong broke Josh Dueck’s back and left him as a T11 — full paraplegic. For the past 8 years one of his dreams has been to do a flip on snow again. On February 3, 2012, Josh became the first person to perform a backflip on snow in a Sit Ski!

Also, see Josh in the Documentary film, THE FREEDOM CHAIR

“The mission, Red Bull Stratos, will take renowned athlete Felix Baumgartner to at least 120,000 feet above the earth, to the very edge of Space.

From there, he will attempt a stratospheric free fall jump – the longest in the history of man – and hopefully will become the first human to break the speed of sound with his own body.

This is a mission to overcome limits which have existed for almost fifty years, ever since the heroic achievement of the young US Air Force test pilot, Joe Kittinger, with his 1960 Excelsior mission.

Red Bull Stratos will attempt to make history and deliver valuable learnings for medical and scientific advancement that will aid the exploration of space in future years.”

Finally able to watch JP Auclair's incredible urban segment in All.I.Can. When watching this film live in a theater - this was definitely a crowd pleaser and definitely one of the most entertaining skiing segments I have seen in quite some time.

Strong work JP.

Email reply from JP on December 5th, 2011 —

“Yeah.. pretty nuts.. the thing is going to hit 400K within the first week.. The Sherpas and I are still trying to wrap our heads around why it caught on like that. Must be the back flip, can’t go wrong with a backie!”

On March 23rd, 2011 we had a friend hit the hospital due to an unknown circumstance. Below is a transcript of our email conversations along with an artist’s conception of present Spencer vs. future Spencer by John Kelly.

Does anybody know how our friend is doing?

Besides the text last night I haven’t heard anything.

I have inquired…no response.

I did not recieve this text last night. What did it say?

All I remember is he can fart out his penis.

I got a text from him… He is feeling fine. He is going to have to have surgery and he will be in the hospital for a week and a half. I will try to find out which hospital.

St. anthony’s central

Here is a picture of present Spencer matched with an artist’s conception of future Spencer.
