u can get a traverse something fracture to a vertebrea and it isnt serious. I had one this winter. Its still a broken back but only a wing breaks and it isnt affected by pressure. You're only out for like a month. But i wish mahre the best, he's a dope rider

haha yeah it sounds like he's doing alright if he's feisty enough to make cracks about poles, hope you're able to get back at it soon dude. Edge catching incidents are the worst, my worst bail this year was a high speed fakie to forward revert gone horribly wrong.

how do you think pro's get so good? By trying dumb shit. Some people have more talent and get away with it, and others don't.
