Injurys suck

yeah, knee injuries does suck..

last winter we had a big jump comp at my local resort, and our regional tv channel was covering it.. so we had to get up early to hit the jump and do interviews, and the comp wasn't starting before several hours later.

when qualifying was about to start i was pretty tired and wasn't really feeling jumping anymore, and my bindings had been pre-releasing a lot as well. but i decided to just go for it and try, because it was  the first time we had such an arrangement at our mountain.

then i did one of the stupidest things in my life so far, right before my first qual jump i cranked up my DIN like 2 levels up to ensure the bindings wouldn't come off that easy, and i ended up overrotating and tearing my right ACL and meniscus...

it still annoys me every day, even tho i've started hitting jumps again my knee hasn't fully recovered yet, and i feel  that this injury was so unnecessary and has set me back so much.
the good thing is that i learned from it, and not being able to ski makes you realise how damn fun it is.
 so now i'm determined to get fully recovered over the summer and ski as much as possible in the future

first run of the day bombing a groomer, catch an edge, fall back onto the tails of my skis going really fast, wiped out.... season over bye bye ACL.

But seriously it could be way worse, look at Michelle Parker

Spring skiing and having one of the best times iv ever had in the park by myself. background on the day- went to do a race at another mountain to the one that my school trip was staying at so i was alone with no one. anyway i was trying corks and getting some big ones, i was going about 20 ft down the landing every time on a 50 ft i was trying cork 7s but carved and did an accidental 5 crashed. i thought ill try carve a cork 7 to make it easier but because i carved i slowed myself down the popped really high didn't think anything of it in the air but as i got to spot my landing my head just felt (lol) like someone packed dynamite into my skull i bounced about 20 ft down the landing after knuckling and kneeing myself in the jawbreaking it into 4 pieces then landed on my head. broken jaw, vomited on the way to the hospital cause of the morphine jaw wasn't able to move but it did thanks to the vomiting, as it was cracked down the centre one half moved to open the other didn't the jaw locked and the about 5 seconds later it reclicked back into position. no eating for 6 weeks, jaw wired shut for 6 weeks, no sport for 12 weeks lost the rest of my season and went into depression.

Jesus that would suck

wtf? its only partial torn and you get a surgery?
I had a friend who was skiing like a month after a partial torn ACL

even if you have to get your ACL or whatever replaced... lets be optimistic
its the end of the season and you might fully recover till next winter!
way better than tearing it on the beginning of the season

anyway, hope you get better man

in our hotel in france i did 180 over a flight of stairs, (crazy monkeys as we are, we were footskating in the hotel) i land i twist my ankle, it snaps (sounded like breaking wood) and i just yell: "My ankle, i think i broke my ankle!" i had to laugh so hard, then i got up, tried to stand on it, couldnt do that, so i removed my shoe and pulled up my trousers and really, my ankle was a thick as my knee, so i held it in cold snow for 3hours, waiting for the ambulance, only to hear after three hours it couldnt reach our village, so lucky me, i got a snowmobile ride down to the ambulance

in the hospital they told me it was only a hair fracture and it didnt even need a cast, just firm bandage and rest....

rest of the year no skiing for me, but afterall it was quite funny , but above all really retarded!

-dont drink alcohol kids!

Beat this shit haha:

I'd say the most creative injury at least.

under rotated my first attempt at a frontflip and broke my tibia and fibia in 3 place at the top of the boot.

Ouch, that sucks.  I guess I got lucky this year with flips.  Stomped my first backie, but haven't really landed one clean since.  I am out with a lesion of the lower femur, which is good because it doesn;t hurt and no operation.  I'm on crutches though, and going stir crazy.  Not to mention no skiing.  In short, knees suck.

it sucks hard! but i have to be in a wheelchair in school and i can do a wheelie in it now =] i cant stay away from tricking anything im in

at least mine happened second last week of the season, but still it's a bummer cuz it was pretty dumb.

when i was drying my head with a towel this morning i jerked my head and pulled a muscle in my neck. my april break turf setup seshing is ruined

holy fuck

speaking of tricks while injured, I have found great pleasure in kicking open doors by swinging on my crutches and slamming them open.  Its just so gratifying.  Tonight, I opened one like this and slammed my friends nose in.  the door had no windows and now my status is "terminate on sight" and I certainly can't run.  FML

My friend landed on his back of a 55 footer and cleared the landing to the flat= 70ft to flat on his back. Now he has a plate and 10 screw in his shoulder and 2 screws in his femur.

a week before the ski season started, i semi tore my acl,, and egg shell fractured my tibial plateu...  that sucks and i can still fell its sore every day...

went for a backflip over a pretty small kicker on a shitty day, didn't judge my speed right with strong wind behind me and way overshot the landing and overspun the back, stacked it and dislocated+fractured my hip and punctured my lung. 9 months later now and the movement where i bring my knee up towards my chest (hip flexion) is being blocked by bone fragments in the joint capsule which doctors decided not to operate on at the time. fuck injuries.
