Bummer! I know of at least two riders that broke their arm hitting trees in Woodward Mt Bachelor's upper Peace Park!
Trees don't have any give when you hit one!

You could get out there and film. This lets you still be out there doing something.

yewww that's some hardware you've got now. What actually happened in the accident?

Sucks about the acl though. I'm pretty sure I've done some serious damage to my mcl as I strained it back in March and it's still bothering me to this day.

Taipan seems like the easiest way to fuck up your knee out of any grab. Any time I've done it I've felt knee pain, and I almost never have any knee pain these days. If there was a season to be cut short due to injury, I guess it would be this one...

Yeah that's rough with all non urgent hospital visits being postponed. How long you think until you can ski again?
