Pat Milbery on hill during Session 7
Windells coach, Pat Milbery was just added to the Xtreme Sports Insurance Team. Professional snowboarders (and skiers, of course) risk their bodies and often lives on a daily basis while competing at contests, filming video parts and pushing the boundaries of riding. Unlike in more traditional jobs, pro riders don’t generally get insurance from the companies they ride for, and it’s often difficult and expensive to become insured. Many young riders, even those who are shredding for fun, don’t have health insurance, which puts them in difficult positions if and when they become injured on the hill. XSI is working to change that and help action sports athletes out. Pat Milbery is stoked to be working with the new company.
Here’s a snippet of what Pat had to say about his new sponsorship:
“I am super excited about this new relationship with XSI! I am an insurance advocate, because it’s a necessity. I need and respect my brain, therefore I need a healthy body to do what I love to do on a daily basis.”
