Dani also had another one of his adventures, here's what he has to say about the most recent one:
I may have had one of the worst weekends of my riding life.
Last weekend our jam-contest for the openning of our new park was canceled due to bad weather... But...
This weekend there was a contest in Thessalonikh, 500km from here, in a ghetto ramp-park and i decided to attend. Last time in Thessalonikh i spent one night in hospital with a big wound in my head. This time i had to deal with a bigger health issue.. I ended up staying in hospital for almost 4 days with cocusion and over 15 stitches on my face..
This is the whole story:
On friday noon me and my riding buddies started with my car for Thessalonikh. After over 7 hours we finally entered the ghetto skatepark and started riding.After an hour riding i finally pulled a big fufanu over a wallride on a window wedge and a huge fastplant. I was so satisfied with myself. Then we headed to find the house a friend of us gave it's keys... But there was nothing in that adress and we finally broke into another house of another friend that was in vacation..
So we wake up the other morning and we headed to the park. After five minutes riding i went for the fuf again but things didn't go as well.. I woke up a day later in the hospital with oxygen mask in my face and stitches in my mouth, eyebrows, cheek and many bruises here and there.. As they told me i snapped my front wheel on the copying of the quarter and planted myself to the ground without helmet... So i had to stay in for some maintainance and i freaked out because i didn't remember nothing of what happened!!!
Today i finally flew back home and i think i'm really really better and things are going well. This saturday i am cutting off the stitches and i wiil propably attend to the jam this Sunday in our new park (The jam that was cancelled).
However the whole situation was very scary for me and the people around me and i'm going to remember that for a long time.
