DANNY DAVIS HURT

American halfpipe snowboarder Danny Davis has been admitted to a Utah hospital to be treated for a back injury sustained Sunday in an accident.
Davis, who won the U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain in California following a run widely considered the best ever in the halfpipe discipline, was not snowboarding at the time he was hurt.( According to another source was four wheeling at the Mountain Lab )
The management company representing Davis confirmed his injury in a Tweet. It was not immediately clear if Davis will no longer be able to compete at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.
Reports suggest Davis' back is broken.
On Saturday Davis won the men's superpipe competition at the Dew Tour's stop in Snowbasin, Utah.
At Mammoth earlier this month, the 21-year-old Michigan-native beat out 11 competitors, including phenom Shaun White, with a double cork, followed with a Cab 900, a crail, another double cork, and a final spin.
Davis performed the double cork again on Saturday, winning the men's superpipe competition at the Dew Tour's stop in Snowbasin, Utah.
White riled competitors at the beginning of the season with his debut of the double cork at an event in Cardrona, New Zealand.
American rider Kevin Pearce was injured in December while training. Reports suggest Pearce had been attempted a double cork, but fumbled the landing. Pearce remains in hospital with a serious head injury.

I caught Burtons Global TM Adam Moran on FB real quick today and he had this to say "he'll be okay and have a full recovery. just a freak accident that got him pretty injured. rough year though."

Best wishes to Danny from the EB crew.
