Share on Social

First off, we’re so stoked that Tom Van Steenbergen is alive after taking this slam. He managed to come out of this most wicked of slams with a broken femur and rib, a punctured lung and some pretty bad internal bleeding…but says he’s on the mend. Healing vibes to you, sir.

“On Monday I went up to guinea pig my road gap before it snowed. The run in and landing were frozen solid but I went for it anyways. I broke my femur, a rib and punctured my lung. All these injuries have been super manageable, but there were some other complications that made my first two days hell. I lost a lot of blood, but I’m so damn stoked to be home now. Can’t thank @basvsteenbergen @vaeaverbeeck enough for dealing with this shitty situation so well. Thanks @kiannahamilton for making me meals at the hospital and taking care of me now. I’m already putting weight on my leg, lifting and bending it on my own with no pain killers. I’ll be back soon.”
