Zurich Ramp 2 Ramp

We just got back home from the big and crowdy indoor event in Zurich/ Swiss. Cant say that things went well, but it shure was an experience and a nice view that's worth having. The IFMXF guys are very professional at what the do. 
More pics!
What happened was that I over jumped the landing at practice, lost all my traction and slammed trough an iron door into the wardrobes. And hurt my ankle.

(My overjump landing… flat..)
I was hoping to ride again when the event started but the pain just got worse, the doctor gave me a anesthetic injection into my ankle also before this, but even that didn't work, so I gave it a pass and had to cancel the jumping.. I did ride out there to tell the audience that: Hey.. sorry I tried my best but this is a part of the game..
All this kind of sucked because I really wanted to do this and show the people down there what I got.. but you can't succeed every time though.. I will take it easy a couple of days now to heal the ankle..

I also had some real god support from Polaris for this event , when we arrived a guy from Polaris in Germany "Jorg De Riddar" showed up with the new sled, team car and some good helping hands, just for supporting me at the event. That helped allot because there had been a mistake when the Polaris Factory sent the sled to Germany, they somehow sent the wrong one, a 600"RR" not a 600 "R". Some parts are not similar on these to models and there was some extra job into making it a freestyle sled for summer temperatures with no snow.. Thanks Jorg! I'll see you soon!
 (Jorg also took us to the airport)

(The new slednecks clothing.. Looks great!)
