as a recent t11 paraplegic this is inspiring and super uplifting, I can't wait to try sit skiing. Truly Amazing!
This dude is so rad. He sends it bigger than I do and I am on regular skis. So much respect for this dude.
may this video let us all reflect on how lucky we are to be able to ski, let alone walk. the things we take for granted are the things we wish we had most when we lose them. josh is one hell of an inspiring dude!
I can't stop watching this. Literally. I'm meant to be writing a thesis but I'm just sat here watching it over and over. So awesome. None of us can fully understand what you've been through but this video gives us an appreciation of it. You're more than an inspiration you're a hero and a champ. True passion. Keep doing it (but it's obvious you will) so get Switchback to do more edits of it. We love it.
You are now my inspiration. I have to get up out of bed and find a way to get a van, get the surgery I need done on my legs, get back into school, go to the beach with my grandchildren and ride horses again! Thank you soooooooo much for this video!!!
All your words go straight from your mouth to everyones heart. Most of us should never say "I can't" with examples like yours. You'll always have my respect an admiration. Keep it up!!!
You should be an inspiration to every skier on this planet
I have my exam tomorrow, and the topic was "hero" and then i rememberd this movie at once and i found out that Josh Dueck is my true hero! you are AMAZING! best ski-movie i have ever seen, and i have seen lot of ski-movies!
I can feel his passion though every single word he said. So much respect.
This guy is so inspiring ! It reminds us that when we really want something, you should never despair and always go above our limits !
This mindset does not apply only to skiing and falls, but also everything that makes life. You're sick? You love a girl / a guy? Do not be afraid ! You have only one life, and no matter what it involves, you must always move forward !
This man is an incredible human being. My helmet is off to you, sir.
I'm really dying to see more mono ski footage crop up. What I find most inspiring is the fact that I legitimately like watching mono skier-x just as much as bordercross or any other sport. I'm not watching out of guilt or sympathy like sledge hockey (complete joke.) I would love to make it out to a mono ski competition.
Just broke my back a few months ago. I thought mono skiing was just lame and wasnt planning on learning. Then this video blew my mind! Josh has inspired me to get back on the slopes, hopefully ill be killin it like him soon enough.
Amazing. Can`t believe how great it is for him to be out there catskiing better than 99% of skiers can do without the monoski. Congrats to him. :)
So much love and respect. I dream about skiing every day and I searched skiing freedom to find this video, the fact that you had a super shitty injury and then picked up something 4 times as hard.. you make all of us look so pathetic. one day may we all look over the peak down into the valey and ride the line of a lifetime. peace
Madd respect for guy like Josh Dueck!
All I can say is respect. Great to see him use the most out of what he's got. Truly inspirational!
Example of person without limits , all my respect .
Been desperate for this episode since the teaser. Totally awesome. Massive props to Josh and everyone involved who made it possible. Inspirational doesn't begin cover it. Epic.
RESPECT TO THIS GUY
Simply awesome. What an inspiration! Got so much time for you Josh!
Sick Josh. So proud to be part of the team. Keep shredding the gnar!
God bless you such an inspiration for many many years of my life you all are.
Wow. Round of applause for this man.
How do you dislike this? You are my hero man.
Anybody can ski pow, jump, hit pillow lines with enough practice. But to have an attitude like Josh's, well, that is nothing short of amazing. Hell yeah, Josh.... Hell yeah.
Changed my entire outlook on skiing. I'm going to appreciate my ability to ski so much more now. RIDE ON BRO!!!!
A whole new meaning to determination and test of character- hats off !!
What kind of person gives this video the thumbs down? This was awesome! Dude absolutely kills it!!
So awesome! Much respect for this guy! He does what he loves , and still after his accident he's so good at it , just another form of skiing but it's really awesome too! This guy shows me that giving up is never a chance!
Peace
I'm a C5 Quad and just discovered my hero for real! Dude quickly rolled life's elbow to the nuts like a fucking BOSS!! I'm inspired to keep my daily grind after witnessing this dudes hunger for his life long passion! Keep kicking ass and those 9 haters would hide from your own shadow in his shoes cowards..Learn from people like this and feel God's purpose for tragedy in life's deck of cards. This guy gets it!!!

Alright sereously, who. the fuck. dislikes this. This guy has an amazing story, and probably shreds better than 95% of us watching these films. Sometimes I wonder why people can't spread the stoke and love in every sport out there. not to mention this guy is dual shredding with Abma and a sick Pretty Lights track in the background. what is there not to like?
spread the love.
what an inspiration
Hats off twice! Epic and inspiring..Mark
He just revolutionized the sport
Hey Josh, met you last week in the Devils Gap.. freaking sweet man.
