Sammy gets hurt

After St Moritz we followed the snowforecast with a reported dump back to Serre Chevalier in France. We managed to get a couple of days with freshies but then it got warm again and the snow became heavy. As one of the goals for this trip was to get some pictures taken we had been looking for potential spots to shoot. Close to Sestriere in Italy (where we had some good pow before) we had seen some old ruins that we thought would match up to our request.


This day it was blazing hot and as we cruised down in the forest on our way to the ruins we found this tube shaped barn. It smelled of Cows so I guess it´s their hangout in the summertime.
As it looked cool we decided to hit it for some pictures. A few tries with nosegrab tailtap i went for a miller flip over it. As the landing was just deep super heavy snow this was not a good idea. I got stuck with the board in the snow and my body was still rotating. Click, and i sprained my ankle. Which was worse than i thought at first as i ended up with a snapped of ligament and damage on the cartilage. Damn!


So it was chilling time and rehab for me after this with hopes of riding again as soon as possible. It sucks but it´s nothing to be frustrated over as it comes with the territory to get injured.



Over and out/ Sam
