When this paper was first published online, the second full sentence on p. 4 referred incorrectly to Eddie Aikau:
Recent deaths (e.g. Hawaiian big-wave surfer Eddie Aikau, Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke, US freestyle motocross (FMX) rider Jeremy Lusk), and the life-threatening/changing injuries of athletes such as top US snowboarder Kevin Pearce (see The Crash Reel documentary) and US BMX rider Dave Mirra, have prompted many to (at least momentarily) critically consider the glorification of risk and the celebration of progression that remain at the core of their sporting cultures, but that are also strongly endorsed and (financially) encouraged by corporate sponsors.
This has now been corrected to Mark Foo in both the print and online versions:
Recent deaths (e.g. Hawaiian big-wave surfer Mark Foo, Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke, US freestyle motocross (FMX) rider Jeremy Lusk), and the life-threatening/changing injuries of athletes such as top US snowboarder Kevin Pearce (see The Crash Reel documentary) and US BMX rider Dave Mirra, have prompted many to (at least momentarily) critically consider the glorification of risk and the celebration of progression that remain at the core of their sporting cultures, but that are also strongly endorsed and (financially) encouraged by corporate sponsors.
