Steven Akkersdijk is out, wie gaat hem opvolgen?

stevenakkersdijk:
Well… That escalated quickly!

In the past 2 weeks I painted the sidewalk red, destroyed my foil including myself, got admitted to a hospital and been operated on.

Long story short: Due to a huge cut in my foot I had a big infection in the ankle joint which needed to be operated on. During the operation they found that i also had a partially cut extensor tendon.

What does this mean? 6 weeks in a boot and after that another 6 weeks to get my strength and mobility back.

In other words… I am out for Red Bull King of the Air!
As you can imagine I’m super bummed I can’t compete. On the other hand I’m making plans and staying positive.

2019 Is going to be a year I’ll never forget! ….. ???? @jo_dr
