anyone else already crashed and burned bad enough to end thier season?? Im still waiting to see a doctor and find out if I twisted me knee or if I did actually tear my calf muscle and how bad the tear is... I was told I would be out for anywhere from 72 hrs to 6 months!!!
FUCK nad its only 5 weeks into the season nad Ive hit the park all of once!

















































Couple good friends, couple cold beers, couple HUGE puddles all equal a wicked night on the farm...

Thank god for the country boys....

Yeah I have the same problem here. I don't know whats up with my knee yet. I am in denial stage now. Hopefully the docs will diagnose it today.

Last year I fucked my knee up bad. I still skied, but could only do groomed runs and take'r easy. The way I saw it: I was getting surgery anyways, it wouldn't matter if i still skied on it a bit.
Got surgery now.
Fucking messed up still, but I'm just getting back into it after having my knee completely reconstructed and still have a ton of built up cartilage and seizing up problems.

wow the only thing ive ever done is broken my lower leg... wasnt bad tho... i consider myself lucky, cause i eat it hard ALOT... do have a nice case of bruised heel right now from casing a switch landing... kept me off jumps for a few but i still make some turns and hit rails so it isnt really healing...

nothing season ending cause i pushed through it, but last year about this time i tore my acl and meniscus in my left knee. and i got something going on in the right now. not sure what though. i still haven't had surgery on the left though. contrary to popular belief you can function without an acl.

sets you up for life long knee problems from what I've heard...doc told me that if i continued to ski the way i do without getting the surgery there was about a 90% chance i would end up tearing other ligaments in my knee.....

seems like you women are always getting these really bad injuries every year. over the last couple years i havent really seen many threads about knees or anything serious from many men.

stop breaking yourself girls, we need you. and ski safer.


...and make me a sandwich, please.

I don't make threads in here about it, I just post in ones others have made.
But yeah, I want to blame it on my brother for refusing to give me tips and making me ski alone for my first time ever in the park. I had no idea what I was up against. But obviously it wasn't his fault.

women are more prone to knee and hips problems more than men. i think there was an article in powder a couple months ago. it helps to build up muscle so you're bones and joints don't take all the beating.

torn AC ligament, functional misalignment which means skiing a full day kills like a bitch.
oh and floating cartilage. and this is in both knees.
means i also cant do the school cross country races, which are 4km. or even 800m events.

lesson: dont play netball for 12 years.

yeah, i know plenty of people who are my parent's age and tore theirs years ago and never had anything done because the proceedures werent good enough. now they have terible pain and arthritis and no cartilage left. also without the acl it is much easier to fuck up other things in your knee that arent as easily fixed or recovered.
i tore my acl and mcl the second day of this season and i havent been skiing since. my doctor told me not to and i listened. plus, i still have weakness and pain walking and doing everyday shit... i cant imagine riding park or even skiing at all right now.

i know how you feel. i did mine a few years ago, havent had anything done to repair it, just rested it as soon as i did it, and its damn painful to do XC running, so therefore i have a standing physio certificate saying i dont have to for school, skiing a full day can be damn painful and netball is a definite goner.
looking at reconstructions when i get a bit older. *tear*

That sucks. Thankfully I have never seriously injured anything... just sprains on the mountian and gashes in the skatepark.
Hope everyone gets better soon. ^_^
