Pain worth the Gain?

I hear a lot of stories about skiers getting hurt doing sick stuff. Well, I was wondering if all the tricks and progression you have are worth the pain that comes with it? So far, All I have had is a broken hand from a rail. But it was totally worth it once I slid my first box. How bout it? Is it worth it?

The more pain it causes you, the greater the feeling of accomplishment.

haha, I have, except it is home working. That is why I say it is worth the pain. But I havent lost my teeth. That is why I am asking the kids who have had crazy shit happen to them.

if you arnt progressing and just getting hurt, it sucks. but if you get fucked up and still get the trick you were trying, its one of the best feelings there is. i love the feeling of being sore as shit from a good jump session, cause its a constant reminder.

it's worth it if you push yourself within your limits, but if you just go out and try something you have no business doing yet and totally fuck yourself, i don't think it was.

it depends on the pain recieved in relation to the object or action of desire.

A classic line "pain is temporary, but glory is forever!" but yeah, pain does go away, worst thing ive had with pain was blowing my ACL
