Gav out of action
Hey all. Just a quick note from Mal here, one of Gav’s mates here in the UK. Wanted to let you know that Gav took a pretty bad tumble earlier this week, but off his bike rather than his board. I’ll hand over to the man himself for the gory details; reads a bit like a police incident report, this:
On Monday night, I had a collision with a car while out training on my bike. It happened around 9:30pm, but I don’t remember anything of the impact or what happened between then and the following morning.
It was a pretty nasty crash:
- cracked skull
- smashed ear
- broken femur (multiple breaks)
- Surgery on the leg
Following the surgery, I’ve been on a couple of drips, morphine, oxygen, antibiotics, and have had a blood transfusion.
Of course, I’m keen to get better and get back to writing on here, to talk more about snowboarding and how this injury might affect the current trick list!
Hopefully, it won’t be too long before I’m back, but in the meantime, things might be a little quieter on here for a bit.
For my part, feel free to get in touch via the comments on here; I’ll make sure Gav hears them all.
Cheers,
Mal & Gav.
Fuck dude. Get well soon!
Good luck Gav, sounds like a nasty crash
Sorry to hear this. Hopefully you make a quick and full recovery.
Shiser dude, that sucks. Hope you make a full and speedy recovery.

Cheers, everyone. Ciara will be taking the messages up to him, seeing as (last I heard), he’s still not got his phone or laptop with him in hospital.
Sorry to hear about the crash, hope they’ve got you on the good drugs and you’re on the mend soon
hey guys, thanks for the comments. ive found an archaic bedside internet device. too slow to use again… id like to say this ‘was’ a painful accident, but it very much still ‘is’. i havent been successfully out of bed yet, might need another transfusion and im generally in a world of pain… gonna be at least two weeks in here i think. cheeers
Gavin, I found your blog a while back and have returned every so often, when I remember for a read. Have really enjoyed it and your great attitude to life, snowboarding and skateboarding. Sorry to hear about your injury. Get well soon and good luck with everything.

Hang in there Gav, soon as you are able we can start your rehab programme!
