News flash hit and I got the memo that Vancouver got dumped on and this as I am well aware of happens like once a year if we are lucky.  Sooo I headed down to film on some urban rails and get a head start on my season filming For Alterna..  This was actually our second trip down and the first trip went well and shots went down so i was optimistic that the same sucess would come from this shoot.

We showed up at the rail and I was liking what I was seeing! So we started the session. It was a long rail and it took a second to get the Video shot I wanted but it went down well and after I checked the footage I was pretty stoked on what I was seeing. Then I viewed the photographs from the sesh and there was no super bangers soooooo.  I should have quit right there but I knew Atomic was wanting dope shots for the new catalogue on the next years shi*t so I got back up there and hit it up again with another trick.....................This is where all hell broke loose. I caught my heel edge on the rail and flew backwards with decent speed down the stairs and smoked my head on the stairs which knocked me out cold then I flipped onto my font and rolled down the stairs all limp hitting my face and other parts on the stairs the rest of the way down!   Next thing I remember was waking up in the Ambulance feeling like a can of smashed a**holes!!!  

Straight to the hospital for me!  I ended up Fracturing my skull in two places which caused me to bleed out my ear! When I flipped to the front I ended up breaking my nose and obviously Bruised the shi*t out of my brain!  I was in the hospital for ten days puking my guts out every day!!  So lame!!   

Anyways my parents came and grabbed me to bring me back to the home front in interior B.C. to eat healthy and get ton of sleep which was a good idea cause I am healing quick in such a mellow environment!  Too many temptations in Whistler for sure!   But I grew up in Revelstoke then my parents moved to Salmon Arm so I know nobody here and I am one bored guy thats for sure.. Thats why I type shi*t on here! I have become a temporary computer geek thats for sure!  Well I will see you all back on the slopes in February! I don't know when I will be filming again so if I have short segment this year now you will know why!! So take care all and have fun on the slopes for me!!
