Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

I hate giving presentations in school. I always end up talking like robot for some reason and it's very annoying.

For real? I can walk around fine, and my leg doesn't hurt, but when I put on ski boots and lean backwards my shin Hurts pretty bad. Doesn't hurt otherwise
I thought I might of just pulled a muscle or something

sounds like shin bang. Don't land backseat for a couple days and it should be fine.

My car isn't starting at the parking lot (i actually backed out of my spot before it stalled and won't start up after shifting out of reverse). I think it's fuel pump or filter related. Anyway, I went thru my insurance and still had to pay 260 bucks for a tow back to my house. Original ETA was 2 hours max at 1:50 pm. It's now 6 pm with no truck in sight. These kind of situations should provide a refund of some kind for sure. Wtf.

I get the roads are rough but come on. 4+ hours of waiting in the winter is ridiculous. I am extremely lucky to be stuck at a ski area where I can go inside to keep warm, if it was the side of the road I'd have frost bite on my feet already no doubt

Tow truck ended up getting to me 6 hours after I submitted the request and the ETA changed 3 times. It sounds like it could've been longer if I hadn't called in and gave them a reminder I existed. The driver had been driving all day long and had more jobs after me. Every day like that this whole wintery weekend, it's insane. How can that be legal even? Shout-out to him he managed to squeeze my truck into my garage perfectly, but he was driving pretty tiredly

Some combo of meth/alcohol/bath salts/whatever tow truck drivers are into these days will cause them to drive tiredly.

You probably bruised the fuck out of it. Keep an eye on the coloration, you’ll probably need some time off before it’s bearable again. A compression sleeve over your sock is some good added protection when you start to get back into boots

If it starts hurting to walk or stand now or in the next few days I think an urgent care visit (or pcp if they have imaging bc it’s cheaper) and Xray is worth, otherwise for sure take max dose Tylenol AND Advil (if you’re a normal healthy person). The compression thing is a good idea probably. Maybe stretch the calves? Now I’m wondering how similar shin bang and shin splints are if anyone knows

i have two email accounts for work, one for who i work for and one for who i am contracted out to. I have my contracted email on my phone because 99% of my emails come through there.





Get to the office today for the first time since Thursday, place is torn apart. Apparently a pipe burst and flooded the place in a foot of water. I had like 5 emails telling everyone not to come in lmao.

at least i get to work from home for the next couple of weeks.

its been almost a week, leg still hurts, but only when i put on my ski boots, its so bad I cant ski. idk what the problem is either, i think that i bruised my leg, but there is a bruise on the back, and when i put on boots the front and back of my leg hurt. this pain occurred after a backseat landing, went away in my left foot after a minute, and didn't in my right. Of course this happens, as all the runs open at my local too.

did your leg swell at any point?

If you managed to bruise the bone itself, those can take upwards of a month to heal in my experiences. If you have health insurance it might be worth the time to get an x ray to rule out any small fractures.

my leg didn't really swell up, and I just am seeing a bruise form 5 days after the incident, kinda stinks cause i think its a bone bruise, and if i take a month to heal up, then my season's pretty much done, and i haven't even skied a park with a jump yet this year

On the last pair of FT FC's I bought the little leather bit on the inside was put about an inch off where it was supposed to be and would let snow in constantly. It ended up ripping after about 100 days so I had to trim it and finesse it back under the bolt. Really after looking close the whole boot its filled with flaws and imperfections that really bother the shit out of me. Im glad Ive never paid close to full price because over $300 is crazy for the quality they produced.

I doubt k2 changed anything other than the colors and logos.

Honestly as someone with a narrow ass heel and fat toes the soul shell is the only boot I've found that fits me out of the box and I haven't had any durability issues with them (unlike my last pair of recons which cracked in half after 100 days). Mostly joking about the print error

Local park and rec dude told us we couldn't ski here literally right after we built a jump (said we were being a bad example?) And then once we left they destroyed it. Like we have done this at the same park for 5 years and one time a couple years ago I left a rail and they threw it in a dumpster



Second pic is after they took the hay bales and jump down

Drove my sister to her race training tn, said hi to some parents ik on the race team who’s kids i coached. Went off and skied. Well turns out my sister grabbed my keys outta my bag to grab her GS skis instead of SL skis and
just so happened to put them in the exact same bag that was next to mine(both same bag same color) well i ski down to drive her home and we find this out so the race team director had to send out a team snap asking people to check their bags for our skis. Thankfully the owner of said bag saw the notification and drove back to give us our keys but holy clusterfuck of a night. Just Getting home and have to leave to get to work at 6:45 tmr and I still haven’t eaten dinner.

I bought a pair of Seth Mos one year the snow camo ones to be specific and one of the liners was a full size smaller. Wild shit. FT hooked it up though.

why are people wearing full arc'teryx at my small east coast mountain?

These mfs be standing at the top of a groomed trail on a 900ft hill like they are about to drop into corbett's. I'm surprised they don't start pole whacking. They then proceed to go very fast with very mediocre form. I'd rather ski with the guy in rental skis and a unicorn onesie than these elitist mfs who take themselves way too seriously.

I'm pretty sure hanging out and sipping a few beers is acceptable at pretty much all landromats. Would be next level for somebody to say anything to you while you're waiting for your clothes to dry.
