Hey, just wondering if everyone heard what happened to robyn friday afternoon round 4:30 (Jan 23rd), he was trying a 1080 off the table at Wentworth, did about 2.5 turns landed sideways his skis popped off and he feel onto his head, he got a concussion and brusied his brain, props to him for having the corage to try one on such a small jump, hope he gets better soon.......

that sucks, i've known robyn for a while now, and he's a good fucking guy. that's the price you pay though i guess. it's a shame to see him go down, hopefully he'll be okay.
What the fuck do you expect? It's like leaving a crackhead in a room full of crack, you know what's gonna happen.

That's terrible to hear, but I mean, skiers should learn from this. Hucking has no purpose. It just causes injuries. It could have been a 900, or a 1440, it wouldn't have made any difference. Hucking has no style and bashes the sport's image as well. I know everyone does it, but look what type of shit happens. I don't know him, but I hope he heals quickly.

Robin's a great kid, and he will be ok and back at it really soon but the rest of you should take this as a warning. This is the reason our parks start out smaller early season and progress to bigger tables in the spring, dont huck, learn through progression.

Robin Hannam here:
Thanx for the concern guys, i'm back home now but done skiing for the year, gotta stay home for a couple weeks and sleep. I gave myself a 2cm bruise and a small bleed on my brain. Hurt my pride more than anything i guess (dunno what i was thinking with a 10 off that jump, and still don't remember....ohh well). Thats the deal anyways and i'll prob head out to the hill friday for some wings, see a few of yas there.
Peace.
