a thread is typically started by a provacative, interesting, funny, or conversation-starting question and/or statement in the title, followed by anything else that needs to be said preceding desired responses, not just a bunch of nouns.  so yeah....

i'll give you a break because you're new and ride Wisp.  i've been fortunate to just come up with a mild sprained ankle and been slightly concussed.

I find it ironic that you, with a name like Karmaskier, have such low karma.

My 8th grade math teacher broke his femur trying to hit 30 foot jump on a sled. He was like 60 years old, kinda ballsy, and didn't have a lot of common sense.

For me this season (between two pretty bad falls):
Concussion, broken thumb, chipped elbow, 2 fractured vertebrae, 3 herniated discs.

so one day im skiing back country and what not. last run of the day i see this huge ass kicker. i hit it and land with my knee hitting me in the mouth.... lost 4 teeth broke 2 killed 3 and my braces went straight through my mouth/lips...they were everywhere. so i found 3 teeth in the snow, huge puddles of blood everywhere. i was so fucking pissed.... i was reached by ski patrolers 3hrs later and got to the hospital 5 hrs after that. so amlmost half my teeth died. i had 2 surgeries, one where they pulled my tooth that was almost touching my ear going through the mouth... and 2-3 root canals, where they drill holes in your teeth and fill it in what not,(hurts like no other). so after all this my teeth recover in about half a year, no eating for the entire time so i have to blend all my food and stuff. im all good and it comes to soccer season.... i get kicked in the fucking mouth.... losing another tooth my whole bottom row of teeth are laying flat on my tounge and theres another surgery...and 2 months of eating nothing but liquids. i then get these mucolseals that are like bubbles in your lip and they cut they out and stitch me up again.... so basically ive gone through so much fucking pain....  basically overall it was close to a $20,000 accident. not adding the fake teeth that im going to get (implants) atleast 4 of them, about $1,500 each tooth but that is when im 21....and im 16. but i always wear a mouth guard for every sport. i even have a chin guard on my helmet... any impact to my mouth will fuck me up...even the slightest hit... its so fucking gay.
still havent gotten my wisdom teeth out yet....sooooo fucked up. so pissed......

my thumb clicks whenever i bend it. that's about it. when i'm in the park i'm spinning, not flipping, so not a lot of room for serious injury there. when i drop cliffs, it's into super-deep pow. when i pull flips, it's into pow. i'll probably kill myself someday though, catch an edge on delirium dive or something. oh and i always wear a helmet so i do a decent job of preventing concussions too.
