a superstitious fact?  no, maybe just fact.  or maybe after we call it we have a weird head trip and can't function properly?

certainly coincidental.  all my broken bones have been on last calls.

LAT RUN EVER. YOU WILL NEVER RIDE AGAIN AFTER THIS RUN.

i was fine. but actually i got fucked up calling last run when i was teaching. i always say "2 more" and after the first one, i leave and dont do a second.

It is a myth

Yeah you are more likely to get hurt on your last run ( obviously every time you get badly hurt it is your last run) , but that is because you are the most tired. I have no problem calling last run or one more jump.

If you are tired don't do another

i know what you mean, but i didnt think its such a big thing. i mean, you have to know what youre capable of, or if youre tired or just not as fit after a long day of skiing you gotta recognize that too. when i feel good, i dont stop doing stuff until i am at home. but when i am not that comfortable i dont have a problem to leave a mountain after 10 180s or 3s.

its just logic that youre more likely to get hurt at the end, but when you think a little about it logically, it has nothing to do with "the last run", just with you being tired, your muscles are empty and the ligaments arent as flexible as in the morning and most important, your not as focused as well.

I call last run when my fat ass cant keep going, and ive never been struck with tragedy, i dont know its like every other run but you not going back up

honestly just make the decision at the bottom of the run when you realize you're done, then you dont have to worry about calling it at the top and having all the way down to get fucked up

I called last run last year and landed too off center on the last park hit, fell back and ripped a disgusting hole in my chin which dripped with water for a while cause all the ice in it was melting..

Pfffffffff I usually throw down on my last run.  What is better than ending the day with something sick and then realizing what you just did.  I never really call last run, I just decide based on how I am feeling.  If you think you are going to fuck up, then you will.

had a very painful crash yesterday by catching an edge on a bs 4 off and ending up smashing my lower back on the end of a rail. not cool, and i called last run too.

I think that by saying those words you plant some kind of mental time bomb that is hell bent on hurting you is the most devastating way possible

Don't get me wrong, my last run this ye(obviously) but you guys shouldn't be worrying aboutt it.  You get hurt you get hurty.  there is nothing you can do.  I just realized that it willl be november (hopefully, not like this year) that I willl ski again, and my mom  and a co worker (advisorish cool dude who skis w/. ski the east)  said hyou will never ski better until after you tear you ACL.  I am goinging t come back stron, I will NOT let myself down next season.

fact of life. you will get hurt a large portion of the time. when someone else calls it I get so mad, no need to . just ski till you can't get on the lift anymore and go home.
