My story

I was skipping school to film at loon mtn, in new hamshire last march.

I landed switch with my tails crossed of one of the larger jumps.

I tore my anterior cruciate ligament

I tore my miniscus

I tore my lateral collateral ligament.

I paid a man to cut my leg open and take some of my hamstring out.

I had him transplant the hamstring material into my acl, lcl, and miniscus

I spent the next 7 months and 17 days following an extensive physical therapy routine of 3-6 sessions a week.

I moved from maryland to colorado during this process

I had to fly roundtrip from denver to baltimore multiple times for check-ups with my doctor at johns hopkins.

I was told today that i am ready to ski again.

I am waiting for my flight back to denver.

I got excited and made a thread on newschoolers




I will be at keystone tomorow.

im stoked for you. but just so you know, you can't transplant hamstring into a miniscus. the tear in the miniscus is either trimmed off or stapled back into place.
