Back in the mid 90s Trevor Snowden was a hard charging snowboarder on the up. But at a 1997 big air competition in Washington State all that changed. Trevor went in a little hot and overshot the landing. In the crash he ended up breaking his T12 vertebrae and losing the use of his legs, according to a story in the Nevada Appeal.
In the 12 years since the accident, Snowden has become a pioneer in adaptive action sports. He’s turned his “disability” into his brand. Even his motorcycle, a Honda 450 that is customized with a roll cage around his legs, boasts his nickname, “Trevair.” And Trevor has seen a lot of air. His Web site, trevair.com, is littered with photos from stunts ranging from a 55-foot jump over two Cadillacs to a box grind over fire that was broadcast on ABC.
Nice to see he’s still charging.

WOW! Great to hear you are doing well Trevor. I had a feeling that nothing could keep you away from more AIR!!
i met trevor up at heavenly (1996) when i was bumping chairs. he was with a younger kid, who was having a hard time at home and in school. trevor was showing him how to ride, so that he could have something to get into on the weekends after school. trevor was a bad ass on a snowboard-looks like he’s up’d his own game on his chair and bike (sketchy shit, trev!).
