yes injuries are no fun.


ive been out since jan 27th cuz of a torn acl and meniscus in my left knee


cork 10's in the pipe are no good if you catch a tip at 9 and your leg stops spinning but your body doesnt

not to mention the part about falling to the bottom afterwards


hurray for surgery and for next season

yeah i broke my thumb the first friggen day this season, i just got a splint and kept going, i rebroke it 3 more times but then it healed up, and i got a hole in my elbow from skiing in a tshirt at heavenly and there was a screw sticking up from one of the boxes or something along those lines, oh and then i overshot a 50 foot table and landed on my back, so everytime i landed anything it hurt like fuck for the rest of the year, and now the snows pretty much gone, maybe 2 days of backyard left and another weekend at the hill, all things considered i had a good season.

but actually on topic ive never been injured enough that i had to not ski for more then 5 days, it would deff kill me.

last year I basicly degressed because of injuries. it was my first winter ever degressing...

but shit dude, injuries are a part of our sport. fuck it, they're a part of our life. without pain, you arn't alive.

on St. Patties day my friend broke his leg snowboarding into a tree. he wasn't even drunk yet!

haha walk it off
but that sucks, last season i broke my wrist 270ing onto a box, fell off and landed with my wrist on the metal part of my pole, i skiied with seran wrap over my cast, then when i got the cast off about a month later, the day after i got the cast off i thought i tweaked my shoulder, but when i went to manning the next day i broke it in the parking lot... while shifting my gear to the other hand to get past some people... it went POP and then i was out for the season
fucking collarbones...
