We sat down with Chris Grenier to talk about his experience with head injuries, what it did to his mental health, and how he recovered from them. Chirs is a professional snowboarder from Massachusetts, now currently residing in Salt Lake City, Utah. He has been in various snowboard videos ranging from backcountry to street riding, and has won an X Games gold medal for their “Real Street” series. He built a dream skate and snowboard compound at a cabin located outside of Ogden, UT. Along with all that, he most recently launched and co-hosts a podcast with E Stone interviewing snowboarders to get an inside look to the people behind the tricks. This interview takes place with Chris, Kelsey Boyer, and Melissa Riitano.
An Interview with Jamie MoCrazy
I caught up Jamie Crane-Mauzy or MoCrazy about how she sustained a TBI, ended up in a coma, and fought back to a full recovery. Before Jamie's accident she was a professional competitive freestyle skier, doing competitions like Dew Tour and X Games. She is such a driven person and getting to hear her story first hand was truly inspiring and uplifting. Talking with her now or seeing her you would never guess she went through such a traumatic event. Jamie is currently developing her professional speaking career and is a Ski coach at Woodward Park City. I am blown away by her tenacity and her family not ever giving up. Rolling into her story, April 11th 2015, a day her family will never forget.
