i ended my season last year with a spiral fracture to the fibia (the smaller bone in your leg, not wieght bearing), and it fucking hurt. like with ligiments, they dont hurt unless you move, it was like a constant pulsing pain up around my leg for like a week. id have to imagine a full on fracture of the fibia would feel spectacular

Sprained my wrist in late December, finally healed late Feb. 3 weeks later I tweaked my shoulder, its about healed now, but I just sprained my thumb on Saturday. Fucking piece of shit 912ti heelpiece shattered when I hit a couple moguls at high speed. It wasn't so easy to ski after that and I bailed pretty good. Got a bunch of nice bruises to go with that one as well.

i was worried about that happening to me...i had a huge ass bump on my thumb that had dark purple color under the skin and i could tell it was full of blood. It took 2.5 weeks to go away and i never did anything about my thumb now it cracks and shit and have a lot more limited movement. Should of gone to the doctor but i wanted to ski in the comp the next day

Hahaha, gotta love PE injuries, I sprained the shit out of my finger playin dodgeball last year, couldnt bend it, got all puffy, the whole works, never told anybody, parents got really pissed when they saw it.

I got off free this year though, just some shin splints that needed some rest. Proly shoulda kept my mouth shut.

^here we go

Mustache March ended on a hell of a note for me. I went to Colorado for spring break to hang with my friend and ski and I ended up breaking my femur and having to get rods and screws put in my leg. Superrr shitty. It hurt so bad too, my seasons over, but I didn’t let that shit ruin my mustache march. I didn’t bring my razor with me to Colorado but as soon as I got out of the hospital and back to boise, it was ON. Here are some pics of the last week.

first day trying to walk 4 or 5 days after surgery.

^ That catfish is fucking awesome! I fractured my right heel in the beginning of February and have been walking without crutches for two weeks now. I need some new ski boots before I ski again, hopefully I can get at least one more ski day in before the seasons end. Don't ever fracture your heel! Had to ski down, walk through the parking lot, remove boot and then drive my manual transmission truck 40 miles home. At least it wasn't my clutch foot...

Broken collarbone and seperated shoulder in Feb/March. Collarbone is all good. Shoulder is a big pain in my butthole. Hurts like hell to bench press or do pushups. Feels like my colllarbone is trying to tear itself away from my shoulder girdle. Sucks because I think it is all healed up, I hope it doesn't feel like this for an extended period of time.

atleast it functions still? Im basically on the status of a monkey. My thumb has no tension in it so when i go to pick things up, my thumb just slides over. Its very very very frustrating. its my right one too. Its been like that for a year and a half now.


Besides that I hurt my MCL in early/mid april. start physical therapy tomorrow and have 6 weeks of it.

I was on the tramp with my brother and a friend, and we decided to do that 1, 2 ,3 bum drop thing, where you see who gets double bounced when you all land on your asses. Well we all jumped extremely high, and came down and stretched the surface down so far that i smashed my tailbone on the ground.... hurts to sit.

I got off injury free. The worst that happened to me was a bruised forearm, which was good to go by the end of the day. I think the femur would be the most painful. I can't imagine what knid of force it would take to snap that fat a bone.
