Canadian snowboarder Mark McMorris is sporting a look these days courtesy of taking his knee to his face.
McMorris didn’t quite stick the landing of a double backflip backside 180 with a nose grab. He drove his knee into his face and broke his orbital bone and his nose. “When you break your orbital bone and your nose, you don’t rule it out, but my symptoms on the concussion front are super-mild and I have full recollection of what went on,” he said.
McMorris was filming a Burton Red Bull film in the backcountry near Revelstoke after competing in last week’s Natural Selection event. “The decision was that I needed to be operated on, but we needed the swelling to come down. I packed up and got out to Vancouver to see Dr. Aaron Brown who actually did my jaw when I got hurt about seven years ago.”“I was a little bit sad then but now I’m feeling a lot better and I’m happy to have the surgery behind me and just be moving forward with the healing process,” he said. “I’m lucky to to have all my lower extremities in great shape. I will be snowboarding again in four to six weeks.
