Press Release
January 22nd, 2008
(January 18, 2008/South Lake Tahoe) Adaptive Action Sports (AAS), a California based non-profit that champions “action sports” as a rehabilitative and social inclusion tool for youth and young adults living with permanent physical disabilities, is proud to announce its presence at the 2008 ESPN Winter X-Games.
In response to an invitation from Team ESPN, AAS will provide a booth at the events and will field three permanently disabled athletes in the games: Zack Brodrick, Bibian Mentel and Thayne Mahler.
Zack will be racing for the second year in the Mono-Ski Cross event at Winter X. Zack was paralyzed at age 16 when an axel fell and crushed him while he was working underneath his truck. When you see him tackling the jumps, berms and speed in the Mono-Cross X, you’ll agree that, though he is confined to a wheelchair, “disabled” is a misnomer for this young man.
