Back in 2010, snowboarder Danny Davis was involved in a really bad accident on an ATV that left him with a broken back and a shattered pelvis. It was a devastating injury for him and, truthfully, it could have ended his snowboarding career. At one point, he was projected to knock off Shaun White in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. But after the accident, doctors were unsure if he would ever be able to snowboard again.

Fortunately, Davis has fought back and, earlier this year, he won the SuperPipe event at the Winter X Games. He also has a lot of things going on outside of snowboarding, too. So recently, Green Label caught up with Davis to talk about his early snowboarding memories, his injury, his recent success, and all of the things that he's working on with his Frends company. You can check out the full interview over here. He's got quite a story.
