In the fall of 2021, I was invited to participate in Hannah Bergemann’s Hang Time event, hosted on the fest series style jump line, Blue Steel. After following my progression plan and and gaining confidence, I took a hard crash at the end of Day 1 and broke my wrist.
Despite the injury, This event redefined what I am capable of as an athlete. Every single one of my fellow athletes inspired and pushed me to new heights, and I pushed through some massive mental barriers, to learn that riding this freeride terrain is well within my skillset.
For 2022, redemption on Blue Steel is one of my top goals.
