Arriving in Breck

Well I have had a crazy few days since leaving Melbourne Airport. I met some fellow campers at the Tullamarine and we were all stoked to head over to Colorado for 9 weeks. We said good by to our emotional mums and headed for the gate. We didn't have to wait that long for our flight to Sydney which was good and before we knew it, we were waiting for out plane to LAX. As our boredom kicked in, we decided to start filming. The flight from Sydney to LA was rad. We sat right in front of the big screen watching movies until our eyes would open anymore. I had Jack on my left and a spare on my right which gave me some needed extra space. Arriving in LA was a disaster.. Me being the vague 15 year old I am, as we started to line up in the customs line, I realized I had left all my documents and passport in the pocket on the seat on front. Franticly I ran back but was stopped by curious airport security guards wanting to know why I was going back. Finally they allowed me to get back on and I grabbed my stuff and sprinted back. As we got out of customs we had to run to our gate as our plane started boarding before we even landed and of course, we missed it. It took another 5 planes and 10 1/2 hours to finally lock our selves a seat on the 8 30pm flight to denver. When we landed in denver is was a huge relief and our coach Stav was there to greet us with out bags that had arrive several hours earlier. We headed to the motel where we had planned to stat for the night and were all asleep by 3 30am.

Our alarms buzzed for 5 10am and we got ready for our first comp of the season. It was a 2 hour drive to the comp and we had power bars to keep us going. When we arrived in Winter Park, the visibility was just as bad as our wait in LA. Whilst Bucketing down with snow and freezing out tits off, we started to train on the course. I had a couple of safety runs first off and felt pretty good, as I was told to take it easy because I had less than 2 hours of sleep and it was my first day on snow for 6 months. I thought i would be sweet so I headed for the 70ft jump at the end. I straight lined it from 2 jumps up and was told to not speed check as the snowy conditions made the run in really slow and you do not want to land on the flat of a jump like that. Turns out I went way to fast, I cleared the landing and went 90ft to flat. I got pretty banged up...My wrist, hip and back were all killing and I had to sit out for the comp. I sat out for the comp the next day and now its Monday and I'm having one more day off to rest up.

Here is an edit from the flight over.
