well as you said. you can simply google it.
about the accident. i dont do it any more. it was time when getting badly hurt, which i did, didn't matter at all. i was so reckless - in my first year i already started doing tricks on Big Air. all the time up until that point with the rail i was lucky because i witnessed several of my friends with broken arms, legs etc.
P.S Latvia in a nutshell. for 700 years we were basically owned by german landlords as white slaves - owned, sold just like black people. ~1870 we became independent. around 1900 latvia was among top in europe in terms of growth - had huge bacon, wheat, butter export. then came ww1. and then ww2 with occupation from germany, then russia ( with deportations and all the other extras that come with it) up until 1991 with the fall of CCCR. now its crisis and government sucks  |
Thankyou so much Evanny. I have been in total ignorance so appreciate very much learning a little about Latvia and how it has suffered through the years.
I shall read up some more
Ps well if it will be the capital of culture in 2014 that is a good sign. I must admit I like the look of the place-- well worth visiting I imagine.
what was the education like where you lived in the country? Your English is excellent-- so you must have worked really hard.
