GOOD START with a BAD ENDING

After a pretty successful summer at NZ and Chile I finally came back home again so I took a month off to charge my batteries and chill with my friends. I enjoyed it a lot but I was also super happy to go to Modena for the ShoGun Comp again. That comp is not super special but every year it’s really cool to hang out and have fun shredding the jump with your homies.

And actually this time the riding level was also pretty high! Klaus Finne nailed a massive dub ten dub mute to the bottom of the landing on that tiny jump and deserved the win. McRae Williams got second with a switch dub ten and I landed on the thirth place with a dub 12 mute.

The BestTrick comp was going on the next day where I tried to do dub 14 but I was spinning to much so I landed the 16 on my feet but I couldn’t ski it out :) Anyway I was lucky enough to win with the dub 12. :)

That weekend made me want to ski so much so I head up to Val Senales a few days after and just after some runs I had a pretty deamn stupid and bad crash. The Doc of the resort told me that it’s nothing serious… all the ligaments should be fine… my knee just got a little twist… it got me really excited that it’s nothing serious but after the magnetic resonance it turned out to be serious! My ACL and meniscus is broken, a piece of the bone broke off and the cartilage is injured.

 same day at the hospital

blooooooooooody

somewhere there between was my ACL once

It was kinda pain in the ass to cancel all the plans I had for the season. :) But never mind. The Physiotherapy is already on and on the 13^th of December I’ll have the surgery at Innsbruck. I got some plans to judge at the Linecatcher and other comps also I’ll film a bit for F-Tech and probably for a new super innovative European movie project so I’m pretty stoked. And for sure I’ll train hard to get strong again! A big “thank you” goes to all my sponsors which are supporting me through all this!

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!! :)
