RIP Sarah Burke

If you haven't heard already..

Sarah Burke died this morning at the U of Utah medical center of brain damage caused by blood/O2 deprivation resulting from a torn artery in her neck sustained in a very ordinary looking crash training at Park City Mountain's Super Pipe

Sarah pushed Womens Freestyle skiing, pipe in particular, to a new level several times, and defined what the sport looks like now by always testing her limits/never holding anything back.
