Its been a frustrating time for me recently with one injury after the next. I crashed hard mountain biking a few weeks ago and proper ended myself with a night in Hospital, CT scan, X-ray etc.. etc..  and thought I had recovered okay, went back to work straight away only for my arm a week later to swell up in a 5 hour period and pain like I never felt before… back in hospital with an infected elbow and possible fractured bone! Damn! 3 weeks on and I’m still on the anti-biotics and getting there but not 100% fit. Its bad enough being injured but it’s sending me crazy not being able to do the things I love and have spent all my time at events judging, which has been pretty cool, but I’d rather be on the water havin it.

This week has been the final round of the BKSA at Redcar which saw some amazing conditions on Thurs, but the wind fell foul and not everything got finished. But the  riders put on an amazing show of heats and as Head Judge for the comp was staggered at the level and it was hard going judging with 3 or 4 riders all ripping throwing passes regular and switch throughout their charged heats. Cred to the riders!  Hopefully be back out there riding with you all soon!
