Brutal footage has emerged of snowboarder Mark McMorris breaking his leg at the Air & Style, a massive skiing and snowboarding event in LA, on Sunday.
The talented Canadian is no stranger to big kickers, or to big events – his numerous gold medals in both big air and slopestyle at the X Games having made him the man to beat in recent years – which is why this nasty break came as a complete surprise, something of a freak accident.

McMorris initially seems to land his trick – a frontside 1440 triple cork – pretty cleanly, but then sat back.
