Just an update on Sam's progress. I asked if I can share the news and he says yes.

He's helping build a local jump track, all official and 2 day's ago on his last run of the day over the jumps his endless youthfull enthusiasm finally caught up with him.

I don't know how it happened or how he got the large gash right under his eye socket,

But today he sent me a message tonight at 8pm which says
"Been in theatre since 2pm I'm all stitch up "
and this photo


And here's a good before picture

Get well soon fella.






*please, no gash jokes, thank you.

Yes poor old Sam. Wishing you all the best mate. We need our most prolific bivvier back in action!

Oh ‘eck, poor old Sam. Get well soon - and when you do, learn the best way to land on your face...

Healing vibes from here Sammy. Get well soon.

Tbh the wound looked quite nasty actually. I saw the pic on his insta story and I know I'm no Dr but it looked like his eye could have simply fell out!
Gnarly young uns!

Get well soon Sam.

Reminds me of the 1990s Oakley Goggle advertising phrase 'Chicks dig scars, not the hole where your eye use to be'

Get well soon Sam.
