Not so Cool


10 Days ago i was riding at the metro ski and snowboard show in London. It was practice and i had already taken one jump and just dropping in for my second when all went wrong on take off.
I got caught out and slightly lent back turning my half upside down and fully out jumping the the whole jump landing at the bottom of it pretty much on the flat on my back.
I instantly could not feel my legs from my waist down but had pins and needles in my feet which really scared me to say the least.
After a struggle with the pain on the way to hospital i was put on morphine and had x-rays to learn that i have actually cracked the left side of my pelvis just next to the socket. Not fun at all!
I now cant walk for 3-4 weeks but after that i will be back in the pool and back on a board asap.
Thanks to all my Family and my Girlfriend who have got me through the toughest part and also sponsors who have given me good support through this time DC and Oakley have been brilliant .
