Season Recap,,, ACL or lack there of

so i started this year off in dreaded England, trying to get my drivers liscence to enable me to get a truck, enable me to get a sled :-) - that took me into early December, so i decided to get back to Whist, i ended up having six epic days on Blackcomb, till i tried my luck in the pipe, and seperated my shoulder, ahh

so i gave it 2 and a half weeks and then it was off with the PBP crew, Mike henitiuk, Matt walker, LJ strenio,,,, Cody carteR, Pete alporT and Dan carR !! to Edmonton to go shoot some urban! they dont make braces that would help me out, so heres what i created instead to keep my shoulder in place ;-) im pretty proud of it!!!

unfortunately 7 days in i ended up tearing my ACL, i think i new it was gone straight away and would have made any deal with anyone to change it,, but the boys really helped me out an got my head straight! And CODY the hulk carried me into the hospital! (and that is with at least 8 tall Ts on hehe,,,ye cody)!!!

so i ended up having to sit the rest of the trip out and the season now, so i had allot of thinking time, i had lots of thoughts weather this is worth it and weather it was what i wanted to do, an what i decided was;;; there is nothing in the world that can top this.,. skiing is my favorite thing in the world and doing with my heros/friends is unbeatable,, so what im doing is using it as an excuse to get in the BEST shape of my life, learn to sled really well and get my mind really STRONG! i have surgery on the 24th and have been working really hard on my range of movement, strengthening and swelling,,. i have full range now and im training really hard building the muscles up ready for surgery! so i have lots to do and work towards!!!!! so for the time being have i have NZ to think about where im guna be coming back with fire,,, my trick book keeps me very busy,, also about to drop a whole bunch of KApow hoodies,, and last but not least my visualization doll i can try and different idea i have with him....check*,
