Hi Sean
We just wanted to wish you all the best for your Icelandic challenge in April. It looks awesome.
We are off to La Plagne again on 25 Feb with DSUK - our 3rd trip, and although fundraising is hard, we are getting there! Hope to get 3 years funding from Children in Need that will secure our weekly coaching sessions. Then all our efforts will go into raising the cash to take the kids to the Alps for the real thing.
So, best of luck. You are an awesome patron for our group.
From all at Sunderland Adaptive Snowsports

Hi Sean,

Just thought I would leave you a message to say hi and it was great meeting you on Friday! I have checked out your site and i have got the upmost respect for you and everything your doing. I hope the Icelandic trip is going well. Look forward to seeing you again soon and having a good old chat again.

Hi Sean, i've just recieved the info about your Icelandic trip from your dad, or should i say...extreme trip!! I wondered what you would do when you packed in racing,boy you don't half pick 'em. Thats probably quite a challenge for an able bodied person,never mind three disabled lads,i've no doubt it will be mission accomplished though. Stay safe and good luck.

Hi
Glad you are enjoying the 4 wheeled buggy you bought off me
Looks like it is getting a lot of use
Good luck with the iceland trip

Hello Sean

I met you at Dunstable Downs about a month ago I was the Guy that did some cam filming for you and we talked about kites.You tried out my Flexifoil Blade 2 4.9, How are the plans going for the Iceland trip?

hilsen fra norge ( Greetings from Norway)

We met you by chance in the car park at Dunstable NT, drawn in by the logo on your car! Thanks for taking time to talk to us, it was a pleasure and we'll now have an interest in the winter Olympics and paralympic sking. I told you I'd look you up on the web!

Hi Sean,

Congratulations on your three medals in Kimberley BC last week.

It was a pleasure to meet you, I was the lad from the North East of England that gave you a hand a few mornings carrying your kit into the hotel.

We are back home now and already planning next years trip to return to your second home of Kimberley, would be nice to see you out there again.

Kind regards,
Karl.

Hi Sean,

Neil and Joan

wow your a ledgend, nice to meet you this weekend mick

Hello mate!! Long time no hear, Just been reading your profile, looks like so much has happened since we last spoke. Congratulations on marriage and parenthood!

So much to tell you, still not married yet, buthave been with Emma for 4 years, and we have a 2 year old daughter called Olivia.

I'm still living in Gosport, and stil enjoying sailing and Triathlon.

My best bud lives in St Neots (well, Eaton Socon) so I am visiting him regularly, and drinking in The River Mill, do you know it?
When I am next up, maybe we could catch up for a natter over a beer or two?

Take care shippers, hope to hear from you soon.

Terry

Hi Sean

My Dad, Gordon Hill, was talking to your Dad at the garage and Bob mentioned your website. Not too sure if Bob has told you about Paul but on 29 June 2009 he had a race riding fall in Australia which has resulted in him being a T4 paraplegic.

We have read your website and think your story is amazing and just wanted to say hello. We are still living in Australia but are thinking of moving back to the UK in a few years time so hopefully we could catch up then.

Take care

Catherine and Paul

Hi Sean. Sorry i never posted anything up after the Olympics, but you know how rubbish i am at keeping in touch. Shame about the injury just before the big event, hope the recovery is coming on well from the surgery. My dad watched all the coverage of the Olympics on tv, and was rewarded with seeing you compete a couple of times. He sends his best. Good luck with the handbiking in scotland, sounds like it's going to be almost as tough as when we did the SSDT!!!! Hope to see you down at South Lakes for the RAF Champs first full week in Sept. Laters. Matt

Hi Sean, Just read your news page and its good that your operation went well.I was talking to your dad last week at the time you were actually in dock under repair ! Its funny, every time i see him or Craig i have to part with some brass.the joys of motoring i suppose!!.Its nice to see you are still so upbeat after the Olympics.We all know its the taking part that is important but it would have been nice to bring a medal home.Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery and good luck for the future.
Neil and Joan.

Hi Mate, I'm now living in Juns, 6km from Hintertux summer and winter. If you come out and want to meet for a beer let me know or if there is anything I can do for the skiing ping me an e-mail. Dribs.

Morning Sean
I am Head of a boys' school in Surrey that has recently introduced skiing as an option. The boys are very fired up by the new activity. I watched an interview you did in Canada and wondered whether you do school visits. If you do, I'd like to explore the possibility of doing an evening visit open to member of the school community and general public.
Best wishes
Patrick

Hi Sean,
Followed your efforts at the Paralympics very impressive and liked your approach a shame you didnt manage a medal but as you say its only another 4 years. Yes I am Harrys boss overseeing the Moldex facility out here in India. Any updates or repairs we will be glad and proud to provide.
Really, really my hat off to you for your gold medal in Itlay and all the very best in the future. Ian

Rosie, such a great shame that you missed out on the medals. Despite the results you and the other athletes remain a great inspiration to us all and I know that one day you'll achieve your target. Good luck for the future mate.

hello Sean, saw some coverage of paralympics on Sky - more out of interest in Whistler than the sport itself - and lo and behold there was a name I recognised! Well done and great to see you are up there at this high level.
Best wishes from John (ex Tees Barrage and all it was involved with)

Good luck sean for the olympics ... kick some ass !! me and medi and marky are off to austria this week but will be watching when we can !!!

Hi Rosie,
It's fantastic to see that even after all these years, you're still an adrenalin junkie. Good luck in Canada!

Best Wishes

Anthony

Hi Sean
Brilliant to see how well you are doing, massive congrats on the gold. Looks like Lea passed on some of those coaching tips I gave her because I can see some of my techniques in your ski style.....not. Well done again mate. Best of luck for the "Main Event" in March. We will all be rooting for you. Win a gold and I may even buy you a beer (1/2) Cheers, Brendan

Hi Sean,
I can't believe how far you've come since Feb 2000 when Ginge Mac and me were visiting you in Murnau a few days after your accident. I could never catch you on ski's before and by the look of things I still wouldn't be able to. Best of luck in Vancouver, but somehow I don't think you'll need it!
All the best mate Pete Ingle

Congratulations Sean, hope the bruises are all gone.We were talking to Craig today (car in for MOT) He was telling us about your spill,just watched it on the Tube.I cant even stand up on skis never mind doing the things you do.There was a good write up in the Gazette as well.You and your fellow athletes are an inspiration to others. Keep it going Sean,lets have some more gold.
Good luck.

Well done on Sestriere, fantastic result.
Is that the first ever British gold medal in a world cup?
Saw the team training in Hintertux, was amazed at the speed, respect.

Hi Sean,

My name is Owain Jones, and I am a volunteer with Able Radio, the first and only radio station catering to the disabled community. Every Thursday we host a Sport show highlighting up and coming disabled sporting events.Would you be interested in doing a phone interview to talk about the up and coming Paralympics? If you are, email us at studio@ableradio.com or contact me at the above address. We'll sort out the details later but it will be sometime between 11 and 12 next Thursday.

Much appreciated

Owain Jones

Hey Sean,
Throwing down some fantastic results in that bucket. Wouldn't catch me doing anything that quick (not anymore anyway). Must be full of confidence now for Vancouver so stay on top of the game and wishing you the best of success. Craig

Hi mate, I watched you on the BBC yesterday lol very cool ! loving your work mate good luck in the games i'm sure your going to get the gold ! lol i'm quite looking forward to saying I know a gold medal Olympian lol good luck Sean your a ture inspiration. Chatty.

Hey Sean well done saw the parents and they told us about the gold! Also hope you doing okay after the tumble. Hope you back in fighting form soon. Met the little man. Hes a bit gorgous aint he? xxxx love to you all carolyn.xxxx

Hi Sean and family,
Sorry I missed you at the Ski Show last year. Have now moved back out to Cyprus. Best wishes to you and the team for Mar 2010. You’re an inspiration to many. Go for gold old ski buddy.

Good luck Sean and the British Disabled Ski team at the Winter Paralympics in Vancouver in March 2010 from all the staff at Parks Therapy Centre in St.Neots.
We will be cheering you on.

Sean,
Congratulations winning the world down hill, Seen it in the Evening Gazzette while i was up at Ayton at the weekend.Very proud of what you are doing, keep up the good work and will be watching closely to see how you get on in March.
All the best
Stuart

Sean, you're an inspiration mate to anyone who looks at anything and thinks, nah, just too hard for me. Have been following your progress for a while now (since your accident to be honest) and dad keeps me abreast of where you are and what comps you've been in etc. And so here's the BIG one in 2010. The ski team calenders your dad's been handing out are on the wall, so Best of luck and Go for it man !

Hello mate, saw this fella that I almost recognised on the Look East BBC this morning and found out that we are now neighbours! We have settled in Peterborough after our European tour, to be near our daughter who lives in Eye. Just got back from a self drive ski trip to La Plagne, and your name was mentioned (as it usually is) Get in touch with your contact details, it would be great to see you and catch up. If I don't get to see you before Canada, good luck...I shall be watching!
Dave

Hi Sean,

Absolutely delighted to see you (briefly) on Ski Sunday, congratulations on your win.

We left Kiel (finally) in 2006 and live in Scotland near Steve and Sarah Donnan. Would love to meet up again and fill in all of the gaps. Good luck in Vancouver, will be following with great interest - drop a line if you get chance.

Fond Regards

Chris & Gerardine

He Rosey,
Are you okay after crash?
Good luck in March we wil be watching
Olly Helen Harvey

Sean - It's amazing what you have done you are an inspiration. I hope you give me a shout when you are in Whistler in March. It was a shock when we bumped into each other on Blackcomb. Nice to see some old BMX'ers posting (Al Batty and Andy Davidson) I will try to get tickets for your event. Good luck.

Well done Sean, You're doing your Mam, Dad, Craig and the rest of the family proud. We wish you all the best for the forthcoming events, and we're all thinking of you and family. I bet Bob had a bit of a headache after the Bubbly.

GOLD Medal !!!!! In a World Cup race too...now that really is something. I think I can probably say that I know as well as anyone what that must be like and what dedication it has meant for someone from a non-Alpine European country. I look forward to having a look at it in Edinburgh next week, I hope. All the very best for Vancouver - sorry I shan't be there to see you but I will be keeping up with the results.

Now Rosie,
Long time no speak. I see you have done the marriage stuff (she must be a special lady) and started a family, congratulations, and on top of all that you are competing in a very demanding sport - downhill ski racing. Was hoping to go to the reunion last year but the wife had just given birth to our 3rd child, understand from Mitty you were there.
Good luck for Vancouver and if you are back up North and fancy a beer (if training permits!) drop us a line.

Hi Sean

Good to see you putting all of us ex BMXers to shame by actively competeing in a extreme sport like downhill skiing in a wheelchair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gary and I are skiing in Les Gets the last week in Jan, I know its a long shot but if you are in the alps at all we could come to where you are and have our arses kicked in a race.
Saw your mum and dad at Edith Robinson funeral and had a chat about you, been meaning to look you up ever since but you know how it is, Ian Smith text me about the article in the Gazette and that prompted me to look for your website.
It would be good to catch up but if not good luck with everything and I will keep an eye out for your results etc.

Hi Mate hope your ok and all is well please get in touch and maybe next time you visit home in teesside we can meet up for a chat or a drink, i dont get down the river now as been busy with work and the buisness, but miss it and was tempted with all the snow we had to take fins of my board and use it as a snow board lol.

Hope you and the familly are well

Tony xxx

Rosie its Mr Chaffinch! Chris Elliott just got in touch with me and that led me to your website. Looks like you're having a full life mate, its so cool to see pictures of you (still not as good looking as me) after all these years. I'm a correspondent for the BBC - that's how Chris got in touch he saw me on the telly - living in the US. Please drop me a line sometime be good to catch up. All the best for 2010, especially Vancouver! Andy Gallacher

Hiya Sean
Its been a long time since I last saw you things have really changed for and im glad to see its all going well =] nice to hear from your dad and craig about all your achievements. Popped into see your dad today and my daughter Emma is buying a car from him. I am now 45 and 16 stone nothing like I used to be when riding the old BMX looks like Im going to have to get the mountain bike back out. I have changed hobbies and now spend my time indulging in golf at saltburn with a handicap of 5 and have also played on the union team representing the club we also won the league divison 1.
All the best for 2010
Andy (maddog)

Thanks for the support this year. It's shaping up nicely. I feel ahead of where i wanted to be so far this season, so look out Vancouver 2010 here we come. Keep an eye out for more updates.......

Hi Sean,

Just thought I would point you in the direction of this: http://www.planetski.eu/news/1172

Well done with the results - they are brilliant and lovely meeting you at the ski show in October!

Ben

Hi Sean, I've been keeping up with your adventures on Facebook, and discovered you & Leana in a glossy mag on the table at work the other day. Love the BBC stuff about you & this site is an inspiration to anyone. We're still in Benbecula (but it's not the same as it used to be!) and any chance I get I tell people about you & what you're up to now. I'm so happy for you that you've got the things you wanted and I'll be watching out for you in 2010. Good luck & keep having a ball!

Sean

Well the legend continues to rip it up amongst the best in the world, keep up the good work and i look forward to seeing yet more impressive results in 2010.

Have a great Christmas and stay strong

Mike

Hi Sean
I was looking at the olympics coming up and thought of you. I have been following your progress for for a while now and am still impressed at your achievements from that day in the hospital. Good luck in the games and drop a line if you are in the US anytime. We live just outside DC so look us up some time.
All the best Clive and Liz

I heard about your accident from Sean Unwin. I am back in an old trsde as a Staff Nurse on a CCU/HDU in Elgin.

Congrtatulations on your marriage and having a child. irealised that children are the best thing that can happen, as they give a real perspective on life.
I found your site on the BBC wintersport site, so will know wherre to find your updates on your performances.
Once again well done on your achievements
Paul Martin

Sean, your web site is really good mate, looking at all the photos of you jumping off stuff, just showing off really, it is always good to have a look at how you and the family are doing.
Was going to finnish by saying Take it easy, but thats just not your style.

Mick

Sean mate...I've somewhat been hiding under a stone for the past few years. I wouldn't presume to patronize you or bore you with the issues I dealt with because they are completely insignificant compared to what you've dealt with. I burst with pride whenever I read about you and I look at the pictures from those o'so eventful years we shared with joy. You absolutely metamorphisied the Hebrides from mere Isands to a playground for me buddy and we flattened a few hills along the way. Hope to hear from you in the future but take your time...after all I feckin did! Stay safe brother and CHARRRRGE!

Great to see you at the ski show Sean!! cheers for the link it is cool to see a few videos of you in action!!
Have a wicked season and you have a place to crash in Jasper if you can fit it in !!

Congratulations to you both. Fantastic news a wee boy. Im due again in January. Enjoy every minute as it goes by so quick and before you know it they are answering you back!!!!
Love to you all Shona xx

Hi Sean, I dont know if you remember me but i used to live out the back of you on Scalby Grove ( I still do actually as i bought the house from my mum ) I saw your story in the Gazette and thought i'd say Hi and congratulations to you & Leana on the birth of Thomas. Take care.

Hi Sean - WOW
What great news to hear that you are now a 'proud' father of a 'Rose'
You are a true inspiration to anyone & everyone
Take care

Hi Sean, I used to work at the People newspaper and News of the World Sunday magazine and now freelance for national newspapers and magazines. I'd love to cover your story about your new baby and would pay you generously for your time. Please can you get in touch by email or call me on 07816342060? Many thanks.

Mate,
Great, great news about the baby. I've tried to return your call atleast 10 times but keep getting the answer-phone. The number I have for you ends in '252'. I was on holiday when you rang and I'd love to catch up soon fella.

My love to you both, take care and keep in touch..xxxxx

Sean,
Thought I would put something on the public side of your profile.
What an inspiration you are to anyone with a disability or serious injury, you have proved that anything is possible. From almost the moment you realised your back was broken you have striven to be the best you can be and you have succeeded.
I wish you and Leana and of course the little 'Rose' all the very best for the future.
"Be inspired by Sean Rose" I was.

Hey! Just checking out your website...great site! Sounds like you had a great season! Congrats! And congrats to both you & Leana...on the new little one on the way! Too bad we didn't hook up this winter...I was looking forward to a visit with both of you. Life gets to busy sometimes....drop me a line if you're back in Canada this summer. I'm planning an art exhibition for June 20th...so let me know if you'll be around. Take care & stay in touch. Caprice

Sean,

Not been in touch for a while sorry! Hope all is well - seems to be - great results. I'm still in darkside now! Take it easy mate and keep skiing I suppose your'e not that bad really better than Kayaking and definately better than drinking you big girls blouse.

Happy Skiing and good luck with everything you both do. Andy Smith

Sean,
saw you on Ski Sunday yesterday and my slow brain finally placed you in my brother Andy's year at Bydales! Sorry to read about your crash but damn impressed at your attitude and achievements! Damn impressed.
Best wishes, Paul.

Fantastic news all round and congrats to you both. Its been a long time since the first time we met and I'll never forget the wind-up of that fist ski run on the instructors course when our group were taken to one side and you told me that we were the duffers and were being sent home; even though we turned out to be top group. To see how far you have come is truly awesome, especially since I made those journeys down to Murnau from Bruggen. That first time in the van when I took you for the Chinese meal and lifting you up into the van on the front seat. You said that you have never been so high in ages and now 8 years on, your on top of the world. Not only are you a true credit to yourself and your family but you’re an inspiration to all who have met you or read your web site. Keep at it Sean. Regards to all the family. PS. You still owe me a beer from that round in the Magi Bar ;-)
