Para-Snowboard in 2014 Sochi Paralympics. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OriginalGimp/~3/LjpzCO36-kI/ http://originalgimp.org/2012/05/03/holy-sochi-ohh-my-heck-para-snowboard-in-2014-sochi-paralympics/#comments Fri, 04 May 2012 00:09:37 +0000 lucasgrossi http://originalgimp.org/?p=275 I cannot believe this day has come. Adaptive snowboarding has officially made it into the Paralympic Games. Travis Thiele gave me a call at 6:23a.m. on Wednesday morning. The voicemail stated, “Holy Sochi! Ohh my Heck, Lucas. We made it into the mother-lovin Paralympics, bro!” After filtering through all of the pseudo-dude-Travis-you-have-been-in-Utah-way-too-long-swear-words, I thought, “Holy SHIT, adaptive snowboarding is in the 2014 Paralympics!”

Is this the beginning of a dream or a continuation of the dream? For me, it is both. It is legitimacy. A respectful nod of the hat and a wag of the tail to a sport I love. It is a pinnacle moment. I have the feeling I am going to enjoy this.

Thanks to all of you who have contributed to this quest in the last few years. Keep up the good work.
