Replying to Be careful out there...

Jumped what I thought was a fairly routine 15 footer or so next to the little cloud lift line (never seen anyone hit it off the very top, next to the trees, if you know which i'm talking about). even though i poked the takeoff a little bit and thought i could carry enough speed to clear the trees in the landing, wrong. hit something in the takeoff, ended up with my head down the hill and my right foot and ski twisted in a tree, broke my tib/fib, almost compound, at the boottop. the moral of the story is, make sure you know what you're getting into when you hit something new. don't ruin a good pay day (like tomorrow) like i did. definitely jump off some shit though and post it up.
