You may have read my articles/interviews on NS.
You might like them, you may not.
You may even know a bit about my story.
If not, here's a quick summary:
I used to teach skiing, windsurfing and sailing all over the world. I managed to fall 26ft through a roof, in London, in 2010.
When I woke up from a six-week-coma I couldn't walk, talk or anything really.

Since I was in that coma, my mum kept a diary, from day 1 to becoming a Freeski journalist, via relearning to tie my shoelaces, carrying the Olympic Torch and plenty of skiing. I wrote a couple of chapters and a few random pages myself.
It's probably an emotional story about a mother's worry when her son's clinging to life in a hospital bed. For me, it's always been a ski story.
Inspired and led by CR Johnson, you can read how skiing (and a few paramedics) pretty much saved my life.
The cover-photo is me and Phil Casabon, in the Kläppen park, the day after Kimbosessions in 2018. That was the top of MY mountain, read the book to find out how I got there
(after that photo was taken, I didn't hit anything, I just --pretty gingerly-- side-slipped to the bottom! Maybe there's a little way to go to the top.)
