A couple weeks ago my good friend Jesse tore his acl skiing The Coffin just under the peak chair in Whistler. He just finished up surgery and all went well. He's doing rehab for the time being but mostly nothing for the first month or so. And is pretty much out for the rest of the season.

"Gnarliest and fastest thing I have ever done on skis. Guess it isn't a surprise I tore my acl on the 3rd time down. Thanks to Pat for getting the shot at least" - Jesse Melamed

Just to get an Idea of how fast this chute is here is the video of the day he and Cole hit it.

It would mean a lot to him if we could get his picture top rated. It is no doubt a worthy picture and would get him stoked to get strong again for next season.
Thanks

that sucks man, I tore mine back in april and feels good to go now. I wouldn't encourage him to think about this season anymore though,

did he stay awake for the surgery?! it's interesting talking to the doctor while he's got his fingers inside of you.

.. that didn't come out right.

good luck man!

Watch a lot of comedy and listen to a lot of music, and you'll be better in no time.

yea i wanted to be awake. but the epidural didnt take effect quick enough and i could still feel my legs. so before i knew it they had the mask on me and i woke up 2 hours later in recovery. i was pretty pissed cause i was looking forward to watching it. oh well.
thanks for all the vibes guys, i appreciate it.
