TULSA, Okla. â Jaime MoCrazy has been a professional athlete since she was one-year-old. She grew up doing gymnastics and skiing, winning state championships in both sports. When she was nine, she combined her love for the bars with her passion for the slopes.
âI became a freestyle, slope style, which is multiple jumps in rails all in one run, itâs like an x-games activity and then half pipe-skiing and I became professional in those,â Jamie MoCrazy said.
As a professional half-pipe skier, she traveled the world, competed at X-Games, and earned two junior world championships. MoCrazy became the first woman in the world to land a double flip at the X-Games. In April 2015, her life took an unexpected turn while competing in the world tour finals in Whistler, Canada. On her second run, she wanted to upgrade her back flip, to a double back flip.
