So yesterday started out pretty sweet. Todd was gonna shed the Lab and I got Hampus and Jakob (friends from Sweden) and Anders (photdawg) to come ride as well.
After filming a few shots me and Anders walked to the side of a table top (where the snowshreddes fly over) and then I heard someone yell. Not really understanding why they were yelling it took me a sec to look up the hill... and yeah, there was a dude just about to land on me. I just got a glimse of the board before it hit my head. He drifted like 15 feet to the side from where his landing was and I didn´t even see him on the slope before he dropped in.
So after about 1 min of laying in the snow I felt that my neck was hurt. I could barely move it.
We called an ambulance and they showed up with a fire truck+ambulance.
Spent 6 hours in the hosptial on a rock hard sheet of platsic before I could call for a pick up.
So one of my vertebrae´s is in two pieces. The one that sticks out the most. I have this brace on which sucks. No filming, biking, snowboarding, lifting, backpacks etc for 6 weeks... Not that great for the movie...
The doctors said I was lucky. I guess paralyzation is pretty common when you hit your neck this bad.
Bummed.

Tycker bummed var lite för milt ord för denna händelse. Hoppas verkligen du läker ihop fint och blir lika pigg som när du var 20-29års åldern!
Hörde av Stina.. Shit pommes frites. Men otroligt tur i oturen, ta hand om dig....

Guttted- glad your gonna be ok.
Super glad you're not paralyzed man. That's scary stuff. You should check out Mark-Andre Belliveau's story, he was a really talented proskier who wasn't as fortunate last season. He does work with Stand Strong Again foundation.
Krya på dig Pierre!!!

Hoppas du får en bra väg tillbaks utan hinder.
Var rädd om dej själv och var försiktig. Tänk på att du har minst 50,år till att leva.När allt är över blir det nickövningar i furis i sommar.

I was just checking back on the blog, and saw this! I see by the photos/text that everything is coming back to normal.
Wish you well though.
