My Five: Freeski Crew 1

My Five is an Alli feature where we ask the same five questions to five different athletes and compile all the crazy answers for your reading pleasure. For this installment, we talked to freeskiers Simon Dumont, Sammy Carlson, Tucker Perkins, JF Houle and Jen Hudak.

Question 1: What trick were you trying the last time you had to go the hospital?

Simon Dumont: I don’t know if I’ve ever really tried a trick and had to go to the hospital. I don’t think so.

Sammy Carlson: It’s been so long since I went to the hospital… I guess a back flip off the rail when I was 12.

Tucker Perkins: I was getting towed into a rail by an ATV and the rope got caught around my leg and drove me directly into the rail at 20 mph neck first.

JF Houle: I broke my foot while doing a wallride on a skateboard early this season.
