Methuen native Erik Corbett experienced equipment malfunctions during the Jan. 31 X Games in Aspen, Colo., and finished sixth. Corbett (February MethuenLife) is a mono-skier who took up the sport after losing the use of his legs following a 2000 car crash. He competed 10 years to the day of his accident. He tells MethuenLife: "Last year I didn't break any equipment but did get 7 stitches and a black eye and ended up 5th. This year I didn't go to the hospital, but broke the outrigger and a ski in practice and ended up 6th -- a fair trade-off, I guess."
Hey, Erik, there's always next year!
