00:00As he prepared to attempt the biggest stunt of his life on the same mountain that paralyzed him
00:05six years earlier, the flashbacks started haunting him. But he was there for a reason.
00:10Trevor Kennison was back for revenge. His setup was quite different this time around. Instead of
00:16a snowboard, now he sat in a sit-ski. Ever since the snowboarding accident broke two vertebrae in
00:22his back and punctured his spinal cord, Trevor hasn't been able to stand. At first, it felt
00:27impossible to go on. And within six months of the life-changing injury, Trevor found himself in a
00:32deep depression and he considered ending it all. However, when his sister Ashley helped him get
00:37back onto the mountain using a sit-ski, that's when the life and passion returned to Trevor's eyes.
00:43Within years, he was back on the snow doing advanced black diamond runs and attempting bigger jumps than
00:48he'd ever done before on a snowboard. But he still hadn't returned to the place where it all happened.
00:53So in 2020, he made the trek back to the site of his accident on Vale Pass, where he was
00:58going to
00:59attempt the world's first double backflip on a sit-ski. He'd done single backflips before, but he'd never
01:04successfully landed a double, not even into foam or an airbag or on a trampoline. But despite that,
01:10he believed he could do it. And he was determined to conquer the spot that had almost taken everything
01:15from him. So he set off down the mountain towards the jump and...
01:29Aaaaargh! Let's gooooo!
