I just fractured both my heels by hitting the knuckle on jump 4 in Freeway, Breckenridge. It was my 3rd run through and I didnt know something was up till the very last minute. I don't know if there was a gust of wind, a change in snow temperature or even a miscalculation on my part but I definitely paid the price.

You never know what external factors may be in play so if in doubt, pull out and enjoy a full winter season. Play is safe out there.

Vibes man, I'm always wary to hit those freeway jumps. Heal up, and honestly, don't push to get back as fast as you can. Heal up all the way. Ankles are things that can haunt you forever.

Did you straight air it, or were you spinning when you knuckled? Just wondering.

I had been spinning the 3 jumps before, just mellow 3s to warm up but last minute on number 4 i realised it wasnt going to happen so pulled the plug and just tryed to make the landing as best i could. Evidently i didnt quite make it
