Pekka Hyysalo and Freeskier magazine →
This is a link to the back story of Pekka Hyysalo, he is getting stronger everyday so let’s shout out our support. Freeskier magazine is the number one freeskiing magazine out in the market so please check out there website, read some articles and if you like subscribe to receive their monthly issue.
WatchI’ll be talking about the story of Pekka Hyysalo in the next coming post but firstly wanted to share this video that shows a severely debilitated free-skier given a second chance to live and do what he loves. Looking at life so positively regardless of the tragedy placed upon him. I also plan to memorialise those mentioned by fellow newschoolers in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
