Julian Wilson, backside swirl at D’bah, Gold Coast

He did a good job of keeping it under wraps, but Julian Wilson had a hinge injury at the start of the year. It wasn’t too bad and he dealt with it quickly and quietly, but it was there. That’s how Julian rolls. Looking at this backside spin above D’bah, just before Jules headed to Cali for a stint, you’d never know there was a niggling amount of pain in the area he’s about to compress. But Julian’s all about keeping his body toned perfectly and knowing his limits; ” I think you just put in the work on land and get your body feeling good and confident so that you’re not thinking about injuries when you’re committing to an air,” he says. “When you are thinking about that stuff, it never pans out that well.” Listen, heed, believe.
