The next days

January 29, 2008

Walking around on crutces is not so much fun now but the pain is not bad at all and I’m waiting for my flight back home to Innsbruck. Everything is arranged and I’ll be back home on the 1st of February. 

I’ll keep posting updates about my progress :)

X-Games Crash

January 29, 2008

No good news today: I had a bad crash yesterday in the semifinals at the X-Games. The course was getting faster in the last days and the last 2 jumps got more difficult as we jumped so far. Unfortunitly there were many crashes because of the higher speed in this jumps. I was really kicking ass in my run and felt ready to get the gold back… until I crashed in the 2nd last step-up jump…As a result of this crash I have a small fracture in my pelvis on the right side now. It is not soo bad but I’ll have to walk on crutches for a while. I cannot explain why I crashed because I didn’t do any mistake before the take off but I think I cought some side wind when I was already in the air and I was twisted to my left. No chance to land on my skis!Results women:
