IMPORTANT- Free Rider Joe Kenney Seriously Injured

Posted 01.19.07

While out with friends on the night of Sunday, January 15th an unidentified man assaulted Joe without provocation at a local establishment. The surprise attack from behind resulted in Joe being knocked unconscious, causing him to fall to the ground striking his head. He was taken to a local San Luis Obispo California area hospital where he is listed in very serious, but stable condition.

Joe has 2 severe head injuries and is unable to communicate effectively as of yet. Doctor's have not given a long-term prognosis, but Joe is improving daily, just a few short sentences at this point (and a wicked headache) but improving.

Local police were not able to apprehend the assailant(s), but are working on leads. Joe's attacker is described as a tall, college-age white male with shoulder length black hair.

If you or anyone you know has any information please contact Crime Stoppers at 805-549-STOP (7867) or email info@blowsion.com with confidential information or tips.

To aid Joe with the medical care and treatment he is currently receiving and will require in the future, we have set up an Injury Assistance Fund. Joe has done a tremendous amount to positively promote the sport of free riding for many, many years. Please help us get Joe back on his ski doing what he loves so much.
