Mark Eberhart - Amputee Snowboarder

Mark Eberhart lost his leg above-the-knee to cancer in January of 2006. An avid snowboarder before his amputation, on February 9, 2007 Mark took to the slopes at Whitetail Ski Resort in Mercersberg, PA for the first time since his surgery.

In this video, Mark is using an Otto Bock C-Leg.

Hi, I noticed you are using a C-leg. One of the things I want is to come back skiing, but I have a 3R80, one could use a C-leg to ski? Thanks

Adaptive Snowboarders are awesome anytime in my book.

I've got an amputee snowboard vid of my best friend and Bro Buddy. He's AKA to but can't do the prosthetsis. So he's snowboarding with out one on one hell of a jimmy rigged contraption he made himself it's pretty sweet.
