Danny Davis - Olympic dreams on hold?

And the hits just keep on coming.... Found out late last night that Danny Davis, who just won the Dew Tour superpipe finals in Snowbasin, Utah, was injured in a "non-snowboarding related" accident. We can only speculate on how it happened but according to an unsubstantiated comment posted on Boardistan Davis "was partying and riding around on four wheelers at the [DC] Mountain Lab when he was injured."

In an official statement from his board sponsor Burton, "Olympic hopeful Danny Davis, has been admitted to a Utah hospital to treat a back injury sustained in a non-snowboarding accident on Sunday. Davis won Saturday's Winter Dew Tour halfpipe event at Snowbasin. No other medical details are available at this time."

Obviously this is a huge blow to the snowboarding community who are still reeling from the tragic head injury fellow Frend Kevin Pearce sustained less than three weeks ago. While Kevin is slowly recovering (send well wishes here), the injury to Davis just prior to the final US Snowboarding Grand Prix events add a new and unfortunate layer of drama to the race to finalize the men's Olympic halfpipe team.

2006 Torino Gold Medalist, Shaun White, already secured his Olympic berth after winning both the Copper Grand Prix and the Mammoth Grand Prix. Davis has been coming on strong all season with two Dew Tour wins (Breck & Snowbasin), and a win in Mammoth Stop #1.

With the extent of his injury unknown at the moment, time will tell how this will all shake out. Updates on Davis's condition are being posted to his Facebook page: Danny Davis Pro Snowboarder.

Stay tuned....

UPDATE: January 18th - 5:30 PM PST...

In an official release by Mosaic Mangement as posted on Danny's Facebook page (Danny Davis Pro Snowboarder):

"OFFICIAL UPDATE JAN 18 Danny Davis will undergo surgery today in Utah to repair a L3 spine fracture. Doctors remain positive Danny will make a full recovery. His injury is the result of an ATV accident which took place Sunday morning in Utah. Due to the injuries sustained Danny will not be competing in the remaining snowboard events throughout 2010."

Ugg Boots,also called Ug or Ugg boots,are nowadays one of the most popular boots.They existed already in 1930's and became popular in 1960's when Australian surfers found out,that they can warm their feet after coming out from cold water.They have everything you need-comfort and warmth.You will never be cold in those boots because 100% sheepskin will warm you even in the coldest days.The natural thermal properties of sheepskin make possible that Ugg Boots will warm you in the winter but in the summer your feet will not be wet.It is true that Ugg is shorter from ugly,but if you know even little bit about fashion you will know that Ugg boots are not ugly.We can see famous people like Pamela Anderson or Kate Hudson wearing Ugg Boots. Nowadays we have new improved Ugg boots for sale.You can get them for anybody.We have women boots,children boots,slippers and casuals. Our UGG Australia Boots are all authentic.Their properties and features as below: *In cold temperatures,the fleece works as an insulating layer of warmth and keeps the warmth of body heat inside of the boot. *In the heat,the wool fibers keep the air circulating; thus keeping your fee dry and pulling the perspiration away from your skin.Sheepskin also contains lanolin,which moisturizes your feet when worn barefoot. *ugg boots have reinforced toes,which are double stitched and extra durable heels. *feature a natural,thick fleece on a removable in-sole for arch support. *The sole is usually durable in most terrain,lightweight and provides traction as well. welcome to site bootscardy.com

JOE or JOEY or whoever you are. You're the obvious barn.

Not sure how you conclude that this is bashing Danny Davis - it's acutally rather straight reporting of what's occurred. Obviously well wishes to Danny and Kevin for speedy recovery are a top priority.
