JOHN FARROW’S HERO John Farrows hero is Shaun Palmer. Shaun Palmer is an American professional snowboarder, skier, mountain biker, and motocross rider. He is a legend of extreme sports.

JOHN’S MOTIVATION Last year John Farrow ruptured his ACL and LCL after falling over during training for the World Cup. One of his spikes got caught in the ice and he fell over. The doctors told John it was unlikely he would walk again. But he loved skeleton and wanted to be able to walk again. He was donated a Hamstring and a Achilles tendon and he is fit again to compete.

HOW JOHN PREPARES BEFORE THE EVENT To prepare he sprints 50 metres up and down pushing the board along the ground. Then he lies down and slides on his board down the ice.

SACRIFICES JOHN HAS MADE A big sacrifice John has made is family time. He has not spent much time with his family during training and competing. He has also sacrificed his body following injuries that nearly disabled him.
