“Sarah made a huge impression on this world. She showed us all how to be brave, how
to persevere, how to smile (even in tough times). Sarah showed us how to be strong and
now her strength must live on in us. Sarah’s spirit will be carried in our hearts for eternity. I will miss her dearly, every day. But every day I will be reminded of how wonderful
this world is because of her. I am eternally indebted to Sarah for what she has done for
this sport. Every turn I ever make will be for her.”

“I met Sarah Burke on the set of an ESPN The Magazine Shoot with Marshawn Lynch. I immediately liked this fearless and bright woman who tried to explain freeskiing to me. I must have asked her a hundred questions about her sport that day in between different photo set ups. After hearing she was a good athlete growing up, I asked her why she picked freeskiing and she smiled and said ‘because it is fun.’ I guess that is why all of us should follow our passions.” — New York Knicks forward Amar’e Stoudemire, courtesy ESPN
“Sarah was a fantastic girl and will be truly missed by everyone! I have known Sarah
since I was 17 and I she has always been a fantastic person who pretty much singlehand-edly pushed women’s freestyle sport to where it is today! Sarah will be missed but never
forgotten!”
