Oktober is nearly over and again good and bad things happened.

We had the Hot-Zone Park Opening on the first weekend of October. Good days on the mountain and a amazing party at night! We also did a Ästhetiker Tell ÄVision show.

After the Opening I didn’t ride to get my ankle better again. And it got better.

I was riding again last week on the 21^stOctober. It was amazing!!

It good cold and it was dumping that weekend and we didn’t see something because it was really foggy. But we didn’t care because it dumped about 40cm and the feeling of powder was back in my veins. Let’s pray for a good winter!

This Saturday I went on the mountain because the Ästhetiker had a 2-day charity event with a school for kids with behavioural problems. The kids were really stoked to go shred with the Ästhetikers! The show will be online soon on the Ästhetiker page.

For myself, I had a good day too but it ended not well. My ankle is better and I was riding the pipe which was fun. In the end I got my backpack and did one more run through the pipe and on the last hit I did a frontside invert handplant. First it felt good but with coming done again I slipped, my thump bent over and I felt something not good.

Now I know that I part ripped or ripped my thumb ligament. Bad luck! I have to figure out if I have to get an operation. So I hope it’s gonna be good again in about 6 weeks.

So lets hope for a better November
