Dude what the fuck. Fucking Shaun white had a trash run and they didn't even do a replay when he got gold. That shit is a hoax and those riders deserve better. The rider I heard was getting medical attention.

He crushed his spine? Damn. I seriously hope he didn't get paralyzed, the kid's only 16 after all. That crash was insane, I really hope he's okay.

Thundercatperks of being 16


I'm just a year younger than him and I still managed to break both of my wrists (and even have surgery on one) because I fell off of an indoor hot tub. Why can't I be more like him?

yeah, you'll learn pretty quickly to lose the instinct to stick your arms out when falling. not just in skiing, people wreck their arms all the time when it couldve just been a bruise on their side or shoulder

Is there anyway to work on this besides just getting experience?

Pretty much just keep your arms and legs in when you fall. Maximize the area that hits to dissipate the force

other sports? just taking falls and getting used to it and getting used to rolling and letting a bigger part of your body spread the impact out. you can imagine why you can fall and roll and be fine, but stick your little forearm out between the ground and 100+ pounds falling toward it and youre putting your arm in a bad situation

Find a soft surface (yoga matt, trampoline, etc. and just practice falling where it doesn’t hurt.
