anyone ski with a mouth guard, it kinda seems like a good idea so your teeth dont get fucked up after weird landings and shit...im thinking about starting to rock one for like jumps and shit..

yeah I ride with one, the best are those green shock absorber ones you can get at K-MART they cost like 2 bucks more but they are really comfy.

impossible is really just a lack of determination

Its not just for protecting your teeth, it acctually more for the rest of your mouth, and it helps prevent concussions, but no, i dont ski with one.

I use one. I use it when dropping cliffs, and hitting larger jumps... it does prevent concussion. I have one of those neon green/black ones.

last year i chipped a tooth and i always hit myself in the face with my pole when i crash. it's a good idea to get a mouthguard for sure.

Yeah, I don't wear one but am definately considering it. Couple years ago I overshot a 60 footer by like 20 feet...that hurt like a bitch. Aside from that, it might not be a bad idea for rails and stuff even.

We'll have you dead pretty soon.

Seth Morrison rides with one in Ski Movie 3. the only problem is that you can't wear one when you have braces.

I have one but I havent worn it skiing yet... seems like it would be a good idea. mines a 'brain pad' I think... its supposed to protect ur brain as well as ur teeth from ur jaw slamming into it. if u get a mouth guard, get one that goes on ur top and bottom teeth.

yeah, i had braces during the field hockey season, and i got a mouthguard. you can get good shock absorber ones that will say something along the lines of 'are great for braces!!' or soemthing like that.

for sure...mouthguards are a great idea...espeiclly landing switch...but that's why i have a full face helmet....
don't go cheap on them though...its worth spending the extra money for a good one.

custom mouth guards are the way to go.



Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly
proclaiming...'Wow! What a ride!'

yeah, it is a good idea. but i think it would be too annoying to bother with, cause if you wanna say something, or if its cold outside it just might feel kinda weird when your lips get all fozen. but hey, if its worth it for you, go for it.



what did that post make you think of me?
