Hats off to Trevor Kennison who made history yesterday with the first ever Big Air jump by an adaptive athlete in the X Games. In 2014 Kennison had a snowboarding accident in the backcountry that left him with broken T-11 and T-12 vertebrae. Hitting the Big Air jump at X Games has been a dream of his for years. Such an incredible inspiration.
