P.A.’s Morgan never thought he’d return to the X-Games, but here he is
About 12 years ago, Prince Albert’s Blair Morgan was at the pinnacle of extreme sports. He dominated the SnoCross scene at the X-Games, winning five titles in a six-year span from 2001-2006. He was featured on the cover of video game SnoCross 2 sporting his iconic #7C number in 2007 for PlayStation 2.
Even when the snow wasn’t on the ground, Blair still prospered on dirt, having won three straight Canadian national motocross titles from 1996-98 and other big events.
But on Sept. 20, 2008, Blair Morgan’s life changed dramatically. During a practice run at the Montreal Motocross, Morgan crashed and was paralyzed from his chest down.
Morgan never thought he would ever return to compete at the X-Games at any point since the accident — but nothing can keep a man they call ‘Superman’ or ‘Air Blair’ down forever.
