Another one of the most fun runs of my life, even though it was only half. Still learning, but feeling like it’s time to put one down. World Championships here we come🫡

Very grateful to walk away from this one, and I cannot thank @freerideworldtour & @val_thorens enough for having us🇫🇷

Hate to be making another injury post so soon, but long story short I’ve been having a tough relationship with rocks this year.

February 16th, I was out filming with @tetongravity in the Jackson sidecountry. @wyatt.gentry_ and I were on our second lap, hitting a bigger cliff into a little shark fin that ended up being my undoing. We had both tricked it the lap before and felt totally comfortable stepping it up to 7s. I dropped first and backslapped, then rolled into the shark fin a little low, but smoking a rock on the takeoff never even crossed my mind.

Unfortunately that was exactly what happened, and that small impact hyperextended my knee and tore my ACL and my lateral meniscus at the root. With my left leg downhill carrying most of my weight and the added twist from setting the spin, it was more than enough. Thanks @wyatt.gentry_ for hiking me back to JHMR supervising my one-ski groomer lap to the bottom.

Yesterday marks my first day walking again, it feels so good after six weeks on crutches. I’m fired up to start getting back outside. Big ups to Dr. Hackett for putting me back together, and the entire team at Steadman; it’s been reassuring knowing I’ve had the best in my corner.

If anything, this hasn’t scared me away from pushing my limits, it’s had the opposite effect. I’m more motivated than ever to get back to the mountains, a little wiser and hopefully with fewer random setbacks. It’s been a tough year, but I’ve learned a lot, and I’m ready for the challenge of coming back stronger.

So stoked to see everyone throw down in the FWT finals, and proud of the #Nubz

Thanks for the supporting messages,
Much love🤍 taken in Vail Valley Surgery Center by @kellysends

It doesn’t get much bigger and cleaner than this jumping into Corbet’s. 🔥

@kellysends’ ski got caught by a shark almost right out of the gate 🦈
Still, he showed exactly the level he’s skiing at. A no-score in the end, but so much promise in what followed.

How high in score could his run have gone?

We saw it at the Baqueira Beret Pro by Movistar, and we just saw it at the Val Thorens Pro too 👀

Is this a move we’ll see at the next stop? 😮‍💨
