Hey guys

Thanks for the replies and well wishes. hasnt been the best time of my life, lotsa stress but looks like the hardest parts of surgery r done and i still get to keep my hand and fingers so its all coming up well. might have to spend the next few months without a snowboard under my feet, but already lookin at next seasons freedom pass for perisher.

ive done pretty much 6 back to back winters between perisher, big white and whistler, never had a major injury. One summer in whistler and i’ve broken my wrist twice. Thinkin my body just doesnt like summer very much.

Thanks for setting this up jeremy, ur a champion and a true friend. finney looks like i may b getting outta here the day u leave whis, but lookin forward to catching u on halloween? hope u guys have fun down the shred this year, last year was alotta fun, really was looking forward to shredding perisher with all the boardworld crew. thanks guys for the support, hope 2 catch up soon.

It’s not like Finney hasn’t been injured enough.

^touche.. I’ve had my fair share of ‘minor’ injuries from snowboarding hahaha

Just spoke with Marc a bit before when I was on the bus down to the airport and he’s been discharged from the hospital and is most likely on his way back to Whistler now which is great news for him as I think it’s safe to say that 15 days in a hospital bed isn’t fun.

We were talking about summer injuries!

Excuse for not wanting to jinx him prior to the shred!

Well in that case the only summer injury I sustained was a jarred thumb from touch footy which still isn’t better almost 2 months on hahaha

Marc, any word on when you can travel back to Aus? How long do you have that exoskeleton for? I hope you’re feeling a bit better. smile
