Scorpio Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Found this piece on Yahoo news. I'm proud to say that I bought a Tomahawk GS board off of Justin a few years ago and to this day, it's my favorite board to use. This kid has some guts, especially after living out of his truck for a few months. I hope this kid makes it to Sochi. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/outside-the-games---justin-reiter-225306660.html?vp=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcarve Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks for sharing. He's sacrificed a great deal to be living his dream! I hope he medals at Sochi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSSage Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Anyone that wants to help Justin can donate to him here https://www.rallyme.com/rallies/156/justin-reiter-goes-for-gold He is racing in Austria today and I think after that is when he will know if he is going to Sochi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigwavedave Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 He and Mimi are the top male and female alpine riders for the U.S. They race tomorrow and Sunday in Bad Gastein, two PSL events, and then a PGS in Slovenia next Saturday (1/18), then they will name who goes to Sochi for snowboarding. Justin podiumed at a world cup last year, but outside of the dates for qualifiers, so he still doesn't know for sure. But, I'ld be surprised if they don't send him. News, results and videos can be found at the FIS site here: http://www.fis-ski.com/snowboard/parallel/ Mimi sleeps in her mom's basement, not a truck. http://bcove.me/9b92sd1n http://www.gofundme.com/mimiwiencke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSSage Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Good to remember Mimi, Justin has been getting a lot of attention lately but as much for Mimi. Mimi is doing great and deserves the attention and support too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arden Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thought I'd post something to keep attention on Justin's need for financial support to go to the Olympics. If you can, make a donation in support of Justin. You can make an online donation (as low as $1 or $5) on his rallyme page. https://www.rallyme.com/rallies/156/justin-reiter-goes-for-gold%E2%80%8E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
