It unfortunately is true...Rory was the original poster over on the Level 1 site. I believe he actually committed suicide which is a true shame.

He's in balance too...

Man, that's so awful. My heart goes out to his friends and family.

Why can't we all just get along?
 
Jeremy April was a freestyle skier from New Jersey, that skied outof Mount Snow. I skied with him and coached him in the past 8 years. He was just given a spot on the US freestyle C team for Aerials. He was a fantastic freerider and had some scenes in Berman's Balance. He was doing inverts in the pipe back in 97'. A true innovative skier. He had a unbelievable knack fot the air. He was at union coolege in his freshman year. He left a 5 page letter about how unhappy he was. From my understanding he took a large amount of pills and was found dead monday morning in his dorm room. This is a true loss to the freestyle/freeskiing community. He was only 19 and had a long life of hucking ahead of him amoung other things. He was in the honor programs at Union College for math as well. He will be truly missed by a huge number of skiers, friends and family. Take note my friends, nothing is ever that bad! You always have the sport you love.

He commited suicide.

My condolences to family and friends of Jeremy, I know how it is to loose a close friend.

That's horrible, my thoughts go out to his friends and family, I'm sure he'll be missed.

This is bullshit. I knew Jeremy VERY well, used to ski acro against him back in Bs, skied moguls with him at the Jr National level, and evel got my ass kicked by him when I tried to do inverted aerials. But this is BULLSHIT...he took his own life. I feel bad for those around him. How do you think his little brother Jeff feels? His mother had been in the hospital for a while. How do you think this makes her feel? Is this good motivation to get from your own SON?! FUCK THAT. I miss the kid already, but the fact that he took his own life is selfish.

Call me a bad person, call me insensitive, but I weep for his family and friends.

I wish I could have been there for him...

dude, read the letter he let to his familly....

those things are sad when they happen, but we are not fealing what he was fealing so we cannot really judge him...

If he did take his own life, it must have been because he tought that there was no other way....

anyway, RIP jeremy and my tought goes to his familly and friends

where is the letter? I feel really sorry that he felt so bad that he would take his own life, but when you think about it, it is selfish, everything rodeonexis said was true. I dont mean to hurt any one who was close to him by saying this and my prayers will be with you.

 
don't read the fucking letter. it wasn't written to you, or anyone else outside his family. I'm glad they took it off the Mt. Snow web site. I guess privacy is pissed on these days, even after death.

My heart goes out to the family. Even though i didnt know jeremy personally i still feel like this hit me because he was involved in something that we all love, weather you didnt know jeremy or you did i think everyone is afected by his death. RIP bro you wont be forgotten in the freesking world.

man, thats bad stuff, I hate the whole idea of suicide and find it extremely sad. anyways

RIP man, I didn't know him at all, but i feel connected because we all shared a common thing... skiing...

Hostess!

First off his father posted it on the mountsnow website... so obviously he wanted to know how Jeremy felt. I was at the funeral and it was amazing the support his family had from the freestyle community. They buried him in the 2002-2003 Us freestyle uniform. He had just beaten the gut that got the gold in the olympics is aerials at the beginning of the season too. He had so much damn potential. I just am having a hard time with the decision he made. Sorry for the rambling.

yeah man thats really sad, it sucks whenever you here that, even if you didnt know the kid or anything

skiing in fun

if canadian bacon is ham, then what is bacon?
 
Man, I hate hearing about shit like this....every time I hear about a skier die, I feel as though I've lost a friend....I fuckin hate it. If he killed himself, there must have been a damn good reason, even though there is no justification for suicide. Fuck man, I would have given everything I own to have the oppertunities he had.

Well dude, see you on the other side, maybe we'll rip in ski heaven...and that's what skiing is, it is the reason of my existence, it will be in heaven, no doubt in my mind.

RIP Bro

I hadn't heard of Jeremy April until today but he sounded like a great, smart person with lots of loving family and friends. My heart goes out to them. Always know that life can't be bad enough to do this.

I like playing with my Huck Dollie

mike_hunt10 - i am a firm believer that Nick is infact dumb... I've never met the dude but he just seams like a huge tool... and to be completely in love with a chick off the net who doesn't like him... now that just makes you a big loser. I don't like you and you smell bad (says so in your nickname even).
 
This bums me out. Another good person gone. It's sad.
