Mouthguards

I had my first knee to face experience yesterday and I chipped a tooth and took a chunk outta my tongue. So as soon as I figure out whether I'm gonna get some kinda filling or cap for my tooth, I'm headed straight to Sportmart and getting a mouthguard. This is the second time I've messed my tongue, the first time I did it I bit all the way through. So this is just a friendly reminder to all the park riders that you should always wear a mouthguard. Don't wait until you knock out a tooth like Anthony B or start taking chunks out of your flesh.

yeah I put my two front teeth through the skin below my lip (punched all the way to the outside of my face) got a concussion and dislocated my jaw two weeks ago, 16 stiches inside my mouth 4 on the outside. Mouthguard could have probably saved me 550 $ in stiches I doubt it woulda helped with my jaw though

We pay our debt sometimes.

not only do mouthguars help you from biting through your lip/tounge and chipping teeth, they help prevent concussions too, when you hit your head, the extra force of you mouth hitting together will sometimes give you a concussion

dont insult me, or i will sneeze on you.

not enough people wear mouthgaurds. Ive worn one for the last 2 years, and it has saved my from multiple concussions, and it doesn't make you look gay, everyone just says, wow, that's smart.

or you kids should just realize that you suck and stop going big and hucking yourself around before you really hurt yourselves and bring the burden onto your parents because they are the ones that will be taking care of you; feeding you, changing your diapers, carrying you around when you damage your brain.

yes it is. it's because you don't care about the consequences and are very willing to have your mommies and daddies pay for your hospitalization and whatnot. i say smarten up and stop randomly hucking unless you know what your doing. every trick i do on skis i first did into a pool and on a tramp, so that's probably why i don't ever get injured.

You are stupid. Simon Dumont recently broke his pelvis going big. From what you're saying, it's probably because he hadn't practiced his straight airs on his trampoline enough. I bet he really sucks. Get real. People who mess their teeth aren't bad at skiing, nor are they stupid. But when you're logging lots of airtime every day, sometimes you miss the tranny of the jump, and then it's nice to have a mouthguard. Taking preventative measures and investing in a mouthguard for 20 bucks is the way to go because it helps you avoid those medical bills you're talking about. Staying on little 30 foot jumps and doing straight airs is NOT the answer.

ive been thinking about it after seeing a friend bite through his tonge and another lose his front teeth in a knee-to-face experience. I own a mouthguard too cuz of rugby, probly a good idea to take it skiing. but somehow i dont think im gonna do it till i learn the hard way.

I hate wearing a mouth guard in rugby, so I wouldn't want to wear one skiing, plus, how would you pick up girls in the lift line when you sound like a handicap?

I chipped some teeth at Mammoth this year, and was knocked out another time. A mouth guard is a good idea, though I'm guessing it wouldn't have kept me from getting knocked uncounsious.

^And what I'm saying is, actually, you're wrong, cuz people that hurt themselves don't automatically suck. Things just go wrong sometimes. I'm happy for you that you've never gotten hurt, but don't even start thinking that you're God's gift to skiing or something. Lotsa people train and get all their shit locked down on trampolines and still get hurt. It doesn't mean they shouldn't throw shit. That doesn't sound very progressionary to me.

where do you put it when you're not wearing it? and you're goign to use your gloves/mitts to take it out? and then put it in a pocket, and then do the pcoket up so you don't lose it, and then take it out again. think man, think.

^cargo pockets man, it goes straight in there. but you don't gotta zip it, cuz after all you're not gonna lose it on the way up the lift. stuff only falls outta pockets when you're gettin eXXXtreme, but you don't need to worry cuz when extremity rolls around you'll already have it in your mouf. trust me skimack does this all the time and he has no trouble with the ladies.

I'm getting one before it snows again(next year dammit). It's a good idea. I took a ski to the face this year and shattered most of one of my teeth to pieces. almost 2grand later and it's still not done being fixed. I sheared the front part off completely, and cracked it up to my jawbone in 2 places. Surgery ensues to "adjust" my jawbone so that my gums will be higher up so that a crown can be put in. I'd thought about a mouth guard in the past, but it took a stupid fall and way more pain than its worth for me to see why you should have one.
