Narrow Escapes: I skidded off a road at 30mph on my board and down a 10ft drop! I landed in front of a moving car! Luckily I rolled out of the way quick enough and the car swerved-I was real lucky.
Worst Injury: Dislocated my shoulder skating, dislocated my Knee snowboarding. Broken most of my fingers and toes on my DH Bike.
Perfect moment: Getting barrelled and doing big slidy top turns on my surfboard. Pulling a huge contact spin on my skateboard not knowing when it will stop.
