I have fucked myself up multiple times and I just dont feel like its worth it to go and huck myself. If i wasnt afraid of injury I probaly would be a fucking pro by now. What do you guys do after a big ass crash or a broken bone, not fingers or wrists but like a humerus or a femur. how do you go guinea pig a 50 footer?

well always know why you are doing what are you doing, if you think it's worth it to learn a new trick and possibly break yourself, then go ahead. If you dont think it's worth it, then don't plan on getting much better

I think the main reason I get intimidated easy is because I always hit the big shit first.

being prepared also helps. Going to a gymnastics center or a pool and practicing on a tramp or divingboard can really improve your confidence. If you know what your doing, you wont be as afraid to try it.

Start by hittin the smaller stuff again and working your way up to the bigger stuff. Once you got your confidence back then hit the big ones again. Spend lots of time practicing the hits so that it becomes second nature. Goin too big too quick is a good way to get broken.

"The key is to Vis-ua-lize. Picture yourself stomping it, then go out and do it." (that lovely anequdote (sp?) was from John Smart's Smart Mogul Skiing from back in the day, WHICH I happen to own three copies of.)

First don't think, ski the park begining to end hitting everything that gets in your way, WITH STYLE. Try new shit along the way too cause that way it becomes survival.

Well, no, I can't say I've lost them myself, but I do have many a male friend who needed help retrieving their testicles, and well, you could say I like to lend a hand.

don't think about it, give your self alot of cinfidence and tell your self you can do it. The more you wait and think about it the worse it gets.

getting injured is just part of sports. I seoerated my shoulder last year and broke my collarboen the year before, a month and a bit of heeling then you're set.

ok ill start by explaining my previous post.

it was snowing hard as shit, and there was about a foot on the ground. i couldnt see 5 feet in front of me, and i carved right, and someone came to the left and cut me off. i had no where to go and i couldnt see, next thing i know im in the woods against a tree. 2 hours later (yes the normal 20 minute trip to the hospital in the ambulance took 1.5 hours cuz of the snow). so i ended up with 8 broken ribs, collapsed lung, and lacerated liver.

now ill explain all my skiing injuries.

1. Ribs, lung, liver
2. broken collar bone
3. Blown ACL
4. Blown ACL again
5. torn tendons in shoulder and elbow.

skiing is my life, and nothing is stopping me.

Take them outta your purse ahha, but seriously i donno the trick is to not care. I actually find it funny to have a big bail now and where i would normally feel pain it just feels like theres alot of pressure. Ive wrecked some stuff i was gettin xrays on my ankle and they told me i had a hair line, and an old fractor on my foot i didnt know about. broken and dislocated collar bone, some strained ligaments, currently i have a possible broken wrist i need to go get the xrays tho but im pretty sure it is lol

I'm kinda in the same place. I had a torn mcl that took me out of the last month of the season. I'm just working on getting it stronger so I can ski normal without doing it again.

All you kids be careful with cold smoke on a thin base now.
