I did have many years of successful trick and riding progression, but in March 2020 I ended up fracturing 2 vertebrae in a bad crash. Luckily, the injuries healed without surgery and I’m back to full strength and able to ski again. I learned an invaluable lesson in safety and risk assessment, and a new appreciation and view on life. Stupid? Maybe. Would I take it back? Absolutely 100%. But I am thankful and much better off than many others who have suffered chasing their passions, and love life everyday.

@MikeGreenwood51 5 жыл бұрын

Controlled fall on skis above the fluffly snow. Even going down a 1 in 20 nursery slope at 7 miles an hour is falling. Falling or using the gravitation fall line is what a lot of ski is about. So whilst there is some falling it's called sking. Nadia Komenech was falling as she won Olympic gold. But what may look like a fall to some was her controlled dismount.
