john18061806A friend of mine tore his ACL just after he got a new setup for the season. Missed out on the entire year. Heal up quick. I hope to see some fire from your summer setup next year!
Jon_Tafferhoping to get back on snow at 110% next summer, maybe chile? but idk if the summer setup is gonna go down again. then again i doubt ill be able to stop myself lol. better be dropping that fire from mn
Jon_TafferAnyone else missing their season for whatever reason? post/vent about it in here
EbolaI feel you man. I'll be missing ski season this year...I even won a season pass at a comp last winter. I broke my neck and it should heal good but there's a 10% chance I might never be able to ski again. The bone broke in two and fragments flew off....Its a miracle im not paralyzed..My neck also isnt 100% stable...Its stable but not perfect so were waiting to see how it heals...surgery might happen in the future and that could make me miss up to 2 years after the injury. I've lost my six pack, my little muscle I had, and 20 lbs from not being active. Im not supposed to lift more then 5 pounds and there was talk of me being home schooled. Im lucky. When I went to the hospital I met a son and mother. The son was paralyzed from the waist down...it happened around the same time as my injury in a diving accident. He also broke his neck. This winter im likely helping out at my local resort with judging comps and helping with the terrain park. I'll also be filming alot when my friends go...Im not gonna be able to ski but I will still get to ski in a way.....not really tho. Im happy to be alive, happy to not be paralyzed, and looking forward to getting back to skiing sometime if possible. "STAY POSITIVE" you will bring your self down if your negative.
Krotchs_BrotherPartially tore my meniscus. Ill probably end up skiing this season but definitely won't be riding nearly as hard.
Tbh I'm still scared I won't be able to ski, even though its most likely a partial tear.
I'm so sorry to both of you guys though, especially the guy with the broken neck. My boy did the same thing to his neck diving and had to wear a brace for like 8 months. Shit sucks man. + Vibes both of you
Jon_Tafferits safe to say that any injury sucks haha
EbolaYa that's for sure....even if the doctor says I probably shouldnt ski for the rest of my life I likely will end up doing it anyway...Just taking it easy. I'm just hating this brace....it's so restrictive and annoying. The worst is I'm dreaming about something or im dreaming im skiing and I throw a Misty or rodeo and then I wake up and I can't move my neck a centemeter and remember that this is reality and the fun shit was fake.
Jon_Taffertruly loved skiing. not many people can say that they truly love something, but i do. when you have such a strong passion for something and it gets ripped away from you for something such as a knee injury it fucking sucks, but it also makes you love that passion so much more and appreciate all the days you were able to spend on the mountain. I'm gonna give everything i have, mentally and physically towards rehabbing so i can be able to ski again as fast as possible
EbolaI feel you bro! The doc at the ER said I could go back to activity in 2-3 months.... When the specialist said I can't do activity for a year, and when he said it's getting worse and I might need surgery /there's a chance I could never do some activitys again I was so bummed... I felt the same as you...
Jon_TafferSame thing happened to me, minus the whole brace thing. First time I ever lucid dreamed and it was dope as fuck. Imagine an endless mountain, where you can ski as fast as you want, go as big as you want and you can imagine any feature you want. I was jibbing everything with the Illest style I've ever seen, more than in any edit or ski movie. It all fealt so real until I woke up and realized I won't be skiing for a while
EbolaI can't kinda control them....it's sweet...my dreams are better then being awake most days recently
Jon_TafferLook up lucid dreaming and how to control them, as I'm sure you'll have a lot of time to master the skill of lucid dreaming. Not gonna get in too much detail as you can google but imagine a world where you can do whatever you want in full control. Ski around a mountain, fuck hot bitches, literally fly. It's dope
