well for 4-6 weeks anyways.

Took a nasty fall today after someone cut me off going up the face of a jump. I veered off to the right to avoid them and landed from about 15 feet up on flat ice. I landed in a sitting position and fractured (compressed) 4 vertebrea in my lower back. With adrenaline from the fall, i was able to ski to the bottom and then drive myself 20 min to the emergency room for x-rays. Doc says to stay off the slopes for 4-6 weeks, which sucks, but atleast i'm not paralyzed. Got me a prescription of vicodin, and a shitload of DVD's from christmas, so i'll be loungin around for awhile.

Damn, vertebrae fractures can be a pain in the ass, literally. You were lucky you didn't pinch a nerve. Hope you recover quickly.

i hate gapers man. (wow, stated the obvious right there) i was hitting a box and like 6 10 feet before the box some retarded boarder cuts in front of me and he was lookin right at me the whole time. i made it to the box but was going so slow i stopped on it. some other boarder was like "nice cutoff man!", but i think he was being sarcastic, cuz we were all sessioning the box together.

but thats nowhere near as bad as your back. that would hurt so bad. its just like a jolt to everything cuz your ass really isnt that good at absorbing impact.

while youre out, just remember, everytime you touch yourself, god kills a kitten.

Go find that fucker and knock some sense into him. Seriously, 4-6 weeks? That guy is probably lounging in some 1000 dollar a night condo sipping a martini thinkin he's the shit. Fuck tourists, you should have just plowed his ass.
