I got a bit of a life update and this is a pretty huge one I’m not sure if anyone will read this but about 4 years ago I was involved in a crowd crush at a music festival, I was transported to hospital and treated for leg injuries which to this day I still have issues with, but manageable, but during the entire incident, I was well, crushed, and theRes a link between that incident and my head being stomped on etc etc with my tendencies to have these strange old fits, means I am now likely to get a sum from a huge payout from people affected by this, there is about 70 people who will get a payout of some sort. The money will allow me to get any treatment I need for these to stop happening and deal with some of the mental pain caused by it.

I often read your posts as others do but don’t post.

That is awful about your injury but good news about the payment. I hope it is enough for treatment to help you.

Hopefully that will give you peace of mind.

Hello Jackson...

I was saddened when I listened to your post..aI am deeply sorry this happened to you...and you’re still struggling with the effects of being crushed....That is so sad..

Its good you will a payout..I am so happy for you..and hopefully with some of the payout, you can heal a bit more..

Kind thoughts Dear Jackson...

Grandy..

Thanks to both of you. I am very lucky that as it could have been worse, there are people still very very injured and unwell, I have been able to continue to do the things I love, but definitely living with something I wouldn’t have if I wasn’t in the wrong place at the wrong time. Initially I wasn’t going to be part of the class action but as this seems to be a bit of a battle for me I went ahead. I will never set foot in a music festival or crowed like that every again, I can’t even think about that night I can almost feel it happening all over again, so scary, it was me and my gf at the time, we got seperated and I later found out she had a broken arm

I wanted to share some news with you guys and it’s a little left of centre, so just yeah... Hannah and my Mum both told me it’s a stupid idea. But I’m going to go for it, I’m actually spending a lot of time working on this motivational speaking, mindfulness, wellbeing kind of program and it all kind of relates back to my surfing and shaping boards. I feel like I have a lot to offer people, I have a lot of life experience and I have a lot to offer people I reckon, I’m kind of sick of being a little straight laced and working for someone kind of person, my whole life it’s kind of been about eating coin and possessions, not directed at my parents but the community I grew up in was very focussed on material stuff, and that’s also why we got out of Melbourne, I just want to help people now, and in my role I don’t really get that, I lead people that help other people. I’ve just been thinking about and really investing a lot of thought into it but I also have to be realistic with will what feed my family, and it’s a tough unreliable gig so maybe I can do both, but I think I just want to be my authentic self and help others be their authentic selves, and unfortunately sitting in an office (or at home, rather) with a nice shirt on isn’t fulfilling that, it’s not really fulfilling me either. If I can use my life experience to make other people challenge themselves why wouldn’t I

Hey Jackson,

Firstly, i'm glad you are being compensated for that awful incident. The thought of it makes me cringe, how scary it must have been.

Secondly, i love the new venture you are contemplating. I know how you feel, wanting to do more for others.You have a wealth of life experience at your fingertips. I totally understand not being interested in material things. Sounds like my partner's sis this year, spending up big time and all over social media to show it off. Not my thing. I wish i could come work for you lol.

If you want to make it happen, you will. Manifest it, believe it is already happening and it will.

Hope you and the family are all well.

It was terrifying and I don’t think I will ever set foot in a crowd like environment like that again, a New Years Eve never forgotten, if you have seen the news over the last week or so you’d probably know the incident I am talking about.

Yeah, I think the foundations are there, the purpose and what I want to do, just a bit of work too, but yeah I don’t thinkwhat I’m doing right now in my job is hitting the spot.


Today I took W onto my stand up paddle board along the flat river bank with H in the kayak next to us for extra safety (we all had life jackets on), what a moment!

Hi all I hope you are all well
