"Moving Forward" from Traumatic Brain Injury

http://www.shreddytimes.com

This full-length film has been over a year in the making following the journey of Danny Toumarkine after suffering from a traumatic brain injury on January 3rd of 2011.

Danny and his brother Conor had shared a dream of creating a season long snowboarding video for nearly 15 years. After starting a production company called Shreddy Times in 2007, together they documented Danny's path to stardom within the snowboard industry. While filming in Montana, with a group of close friends, Danny fell on a routine jump and hit his head. After nearly two weeks in a medically induced coma, four brain surgeries and thirty-three days later, Danny was discharged from the hospital.

Watch, as Danny overcomes the most challenging and difficult time of his life. With epic documentation of Danny's near death experience, this video takes you through the ups and downs of his recovery process.

What does that even mean?

pretty ignorant...Danny and conor didn't have a sister before the accident, so they definitely didn't have one after. and coming from his roommate and long term friend/ride buddy...trust me, we all wear helmets...get closer to reality before you make a bold claim...god bless you!

i went through a trumatic brain injury and this story really im talkin bout really inspired me bra,i appreciate you all

[purplehazer42]

I must have been living under a rock (well more like chained to a desk) to not have heard about this story. It brought tears to my eyes, literally. Beautiful video, truly inspirational and the helmet message is really one that spoke to me. I didn't wear one for a few years and looking back now I could have easily ended up with head injuries on a few very close calls. I am going to shred tonight and not take any turn for granted :)

Wow! What a beautiful miracle you are Danny! We have a young family friend who is a marine and dealing with a TBI due to crashing his motorcycle and we are holding faith and staying strong that he will recover completely! You are such an inspiration to so many thank you! and thank your beautiful friends and family they played a HUGE part in that healing as well.. hearts have opened and minds expanded! Keep doing what your doing! Teresa (youonpurpose@hotmail.com)
