Every little step was to us, like you know, a moon landing, I think.
Imagine hurtling down a mountain on a skateboard, the wind whipping past you, adrenaline pumping through your veins. That's Dave's idea of a good time. A lifelong thrill-seeker, Dave's passion for skateboarding led him to take on Devil's Mountain, a decision that nearly cost him his life. In this gripping episode of 'Days Like These', Dave recounts his terrifying crash and the long road to recovery that followed.
Losing control on Devil's Mountain, he ended up in a coma, fighting for his life. With the unwavering support of his partner Ida and close friends, Dave navigated the challenging path back to health. His story isn't just about a skateboarding accident; it's about resilience, the power of love, and the preciousness of life. Dave's reflections on his ordeal remind us all to cherish every moment and to find strength in our darkest times.
This episode is a testament to human endurance and the unbreakable bonds that help us through life's toughest challenges.
