“But, fortunately, things are looking up for slopestyle, so just trying to stay positive and shift my focus to that event.”
The 32-year-old snowboarder, who recently won gold at the 2026 X Games in Aspen, offered his gratitude to the staff who cared for him after the crash, as well as those who sent messages wishing him well.
“A massive thank-you to the medical staff that took awesome care of me and thank you all for reaching out, all the love and support,” he said.
“I haven’t been on my phone much, but the messages do not go unnoticed, so thank you. I will keep you updated, and much love.”
