Info from Licensor: "Myself, my partner and my best friend went to Mount Hotham in Australia during September 2017 for a snowboarding trip. It was a birthday present from my partner so pretty awesome time all around.
I got a GoPro for Christmas like two years before that and decided it was time to finally use it.

I had snowboarded before so I'm not a beginner but I was pretty wrecked by the third day. Towards the end of the day is when the video takes place. I was easing into a black diamond and had a lapse in concentration. I edged the board and the rest is history. I blacked out for a moment and when I stopped rolling and came too there were a few people who had rushed to my side to make sure I was ok. Thought I might have broken my arm but I didn't, I had just landed really hard. The video doesn't do justice to how steep the slope is.

After about an hour of sitting there feeling terrible, I got up and kept snowboarding for the remainder of the day."
