Austin Smith.... signing the Dakine backpack you could win.

This contest has ended. Congrats to Cale Gruber for coming up with this answer: sailing.

Dakine team rider Austin Smith has had his fair share of injuries the last few years. Getting your knee fixed (twice) sucks and being off your stick for the better part of the season sucks more. Fortunately Austin found a downtime hobby that helped keep him sane while he was sidelined. Tell us in the comments section below what this hobby was and you win Austin’s Pro Model Dakine Team Mission Pack and Team Mustang Glove signed by him. By the way, Austin is back and killing it.

Comment below telling us what hobby Austin Smith picked up while he was injured. We’ll pick a correct commenter at random.


*Make sure you enter your correct email address so we can contact you if you win.

Shipping only to US and Canada.

    Please, he was obviously taking some time off by taking a few laps as the most notorious man in racing: The Stig! Some say he rides professionally for Dakine, and that he has had his knees worked on twice! All we know is, we can em the Stig!

    Get on the train and go out to Nike to meet with his trainer in the pool and do all these weird pool workouts.Then he might go to a spin class after that and then he’s goin to see his therapist and work with him for a couple hours.

    Well, I don’t know for sure, but here’s what I found.

    Maybe some golfing but probably more so sailing since he’s already been into that & likes it.

    Smith made the most of his down time after his first blown ACL and spent a month cruising Central America with his girl. Not a bad life.

    get up eat some breakfast, then get on the train and go out to Nike and then it depends, it’s pretty much different everyday. Sometimes I’ll meet with the trainer in the pool and do all these weird pool workouts, running and jumping in the pool. Then maybe I’ll go to a spin class after that and then I go and see my physical therapist and work with him for about two hours.

    Austin Smith was OBVIOUSLY out with a knee injury so all sports (including golf and surfing) are out of the question. Sports does not help the knee heal (maybe swimming). Anyway, the hobby I feel Austin picked up while injured is flying RC helicopters.
