My career-ending ski injury was because I chose to hit the ground instead of the 10-year-old that skied right in front of me from the bunny run. I'm still paying for her lack of attention.

I assume you know this story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Munro

The 2005 film is worth a look if you haven't already seen it.

I'll second Jeroen's recommendation. The movie about Munro is wonderful!!!

I saw it a number of years ago while flying air New Zealand to Christ Church. Very cool movie. I understand Sir Anthony liked it so much he discounted his pay to help them make budget.
