it was a pow day. snow falling, etc. the park crew opened the park but didnt sweep the snow so there were trails down the middle of the jumps where people were hitting them. i went off the second jump and tried to do a 360 but my tip got caught on the 7in or so of fresh on the lip, i went corked and got to 270 before landing fully on my shoulder. i had to ice it with a ziploc full of snow.
so post your worst!

Not overly extreme i just knuckled on a five and exploded. But one of my buddies knuckled at 630 and just kinda crumpled. He had to go to the hospital cus they thought he may have had a collapsed lung, that shit was hardcore.

one day in the snowboard park i tried to do a helicopter off the big jump but a twin tipper yelled at me so i got scared and hit myself in the face with my poles and then i fell off the cliff. it was kind of a cliff because the snow was like a big wall but there were no rocks because my mom says those are dangerous. then i layed in front of the big jump cuz i had booboos

50 footer, heated/slow snow. 360, comming round for the landing only to see a wall of snow rushing towards me, PERFECT double eject, frontflip over nuckle,

only thing i got was a bent pole, but now the other pole is bent the same way so i got d.i.y. race poles.

My biggest air i've gotton was on a small 25 footer. I just came back from the lodge, and the snow temp changed by like 15 degrees, and at the beginning of the day you had to bomb the run, now it was much faster. So I go to just do a 360, finish my rotation. Look to spot my landing, and i just see the landing behind me. So i landed flat about another 15ft from the end of the landing and dub ejected from impact. I thought it was pretty sweet, quite a knee killer though.

my first time ever hitting a big jump switch.  the entire jump and landing were ice.  i got just to do a switch 1 and right when i hit the kip and start rotating, my tip catchings and i rag doll in the air.  landed on my shoulder and messed up my hip.    but i was fine.     but nothing compares to this last season where i went up just to do a regular 540 and only made it in between 3&5.  my tip dug into the knuckle and tore my ACL.  lol i skied down on my bummed knee and continued to do so for 4 or 5 weeks.  and then tore it again playing soccer .

Went to stop on ice on my park skis, slid down the hill on my side, caught an edge, did some flips n rolls, cracked my head off the ice, and tore my ACL and MCL from the torque. And when i stop rolling my friends are there saying they wished they had the fall on video. I made it down the rest of the slope though and over to the lodge on my own XD.
