Full episode info and show notes: www.wearelookingsideways.comIt's the second half of my interview with UK snowboarder and freerider Sascha Hamm.In today's part of the chat, Sascha Hamm talked me through the 'wilderness' years, when the first half of his snowboarding career ended. Why? Because after winning the British Championships in 2000, he decided to take his prize money and gamble it on an attempt to make it as a Formula 1 driver. As you do.When that didn't go to plan, Sascha set himself up in business with one of his best friends, before deciding to follow his snowboarding dreams again by moving to Chamonix in France. It was a move that ultimately led him to compete on the Freeride World Tour, and brings his tale full circle to the present day.As with part 1, it's another hugely entertaining and at times ridiculously honest chat with Sascha, and I hope you enjoy it.Thanks to Scott Nixon (www.scottnixon.co.uk) for post-production help and Matt Ward (linguistine.com) for the theme tune.

Episode 004: Sascha Hamm Part 2 - Dealing With Catastrophe

Full episode info and show notes: www.wearelookingsideways.comSascha Hamm is one of the UK’s best freeriders and somebody who’s been at the top or around the top of European snowboarding for the past twenty years. In March 2016, Sascha's life changed for ever. He was competing in the Freeride World Tour Event in Fieberbrunn, Austria, when he took a fall that almost killed him. As he describes in detail during our conversation, he half-backflipped off a 100 foot cliff and landed on his side on barely concealed rocks. As you might imagine, he racked up quite a list of life-changing injuries in the process: 1)      Torn left knee ACL2)      10 broken ribs3)      Broken left elbow 4)      Broken left humerus5)      Broken left collarbone 6)      Broken left acromium 7)      Broken left shoulderblade8)      Collapsed left lung9)     Ripped out nerves C8 and T1 from spine and tore nerve C8 in his brachial plexus.What’s even more remarkable is that, throughout it all, Sascha remained conscious. In today’s episode of the podcast, part one of a two part special with Sascha, recorded almost a year to the day since the accident happened, we talk about how he’s coping with the life-chasing injuries he sustained that day.
