it was really stupid my friend has this canoe at his house and sometimes during ski season we flip it over and use it as sort of a box cause it slides well

and they put olive oil on the canoe to make it slide better and were sliding it with shoes having a good time when my friend runs into and jumps really high cause thats just the way he is and he lands at like the bottom and lands funny and it snapped his leg and so he has 2 clean breaks and 5 hairline fractures
it really sucks for him cause this was gonna be a real good season for him he is a freshman now and he was getting awhole bunch of tricks down at our camp and everything
basically it sucks alot for him and our little group cause we always skiied with him

+++ vibes to him, i hope he feels better soon. Maybe he will make a speedy recovery and catch the end of the season, or at least be back for summer. Get well soon.

update

he called me from hospital today and he is for sure missing the entire season and is in a wheelchair for possibly 5 months
if he gets surgey he might not be able to ski again so hes trying to avoid that
he will also have to be homeschooled for awhile maybe

+++++ Vibes.

I've had two season enders, busted leg both times, while skiing. Pretty much the shittiest thing that can happen to a skier........


talk to the adaptive ski people at your local hill, mabye get him out shredding on a sit ski for a day or two?

+++vibes, tell him to take it easy, it's better to be really chill and sit on your ass for a year than to never be able to ski again, he wouldn't want to re-injure or stress it at all
good luck to him, i hope he makes a full recovery
i had to miss half of the season 2 years ago for a laceration on my leg and it was tough

yeah....if he ever wants to fully recover he should NOT think like that, it will cause him to do something stupid and re-injure his leg, possibly making him never able to ski again
i know it was a joke but that's what he wants to avoid

damn that sucks. hopefully it itsn't so bad that he needs surgery.

I was gonna agree that it was pretty ghetto having a canoe jib, but olive oil? that shits expensive!

maybe you could get him up a mountain someone and take him down in the canoe?

Mad ++++ vibes man

I've been out for the entire past two seasons with ACL tears and will probably only be skiing a little bit, really conservatively this winter so I kinda feel where you're coming from. Stay strong and you'll pull through it. I know it's really hard to think positively, but my experience has opened up new avenues for me. I just got done with a 2500 mile through-hike, something I'd never even considered before missing the last two seasons.
