About 6 or 7 years ago i partially tore my ACL while playing indoor soccer. Unbelievably painful and incredibly swollen. I was given a knee brace, minor surgery to clean it up and told to take it easy. Over the course of a few years my knee would randomly slip out. That resulted in quite a bit a...

Quick update: I spent 3 weeks in the sling and finally took it off. It was almost 100% pain free since, only small jerky movements in the wrong direction create a bit of pain. I have not gone to physio therapy as i cannot afford it, however i am taking the instructions of the doctor...

Thanks for the input guys, i've had a friend dislocate her shoulder and it was reoccuring but that was with hockey, a wee bit different then skiing. Doctor also mentioned that it could pop out easiar the next time as well which is something im not looking forward to at all. Im thinking that...

Well i managed to dislocate my shoulder after trying a switchup on a box and wiping out. It popped out then popped back in while i was getting back up...long story short i went to the hospital two days later and based on the description the doctor told me i had probably partially dislocated my...

Thanks for the input guys. I rode and did just about everything you guys said. Wore only ski socks. Unbuckled boots on chairs/gondolas Wiggled toes like crazy used feet warmers Comments: Feet warmers, well - do they even work? I'm not sure, but there is one thing i can say - they...

Yes we are getting screwed somewhat. Some of the larger retailers are beginning to match the US prices and thus forcing the chain to follow suit, however it will take a long time to adjust - thankgod the big box retailers have takin initiative....the opposite can be said about the...

already have custom footbeds that are comfortable and just overall awesome

So...me being stupid, and just wanting to ride all day - ignored the uncomforable cold feet and now my two big toes are nicely frost bitten, thankfully not too bad but enough to smarten me up. I was wondering how to keep my toes warm because they are just freezing everyday i ride. I am riding...

Your a tool. Put a gun in your mouth or keep it shut. He bought what he did because a) hes got the money to do so, b) he likes that particular style for whatever reason. Do you honestly care that much about what he wears? Do you think HE cares about what you think? Honestly, get a life and...

Build up your calves. I used to get them all the time, ended up quitting skiing for 4-5 years and actually was a bodybuilder the entire time. Came back and it made a world of difference. I'm not saying go hardcore like i did, but search around for easiar things to do around the house. Solid...

This whole thread bothers me, makes me wonder why half the skiiers out there are even skiing and not walking down a snow filled runway.

Styne, once again you reinforce my point. Next time read carefully and don't immediately look for something to knock me for, especially when its incorrect. "Clothing is completely dependent on how much disposable income you have (or simply spoiled from mommy and daddy) to spend on ski gear...

I feel bad for the guys who still don't have hair on the balls claiming that there is any relationship between your clothing and skiing ability. Clothing is completely dependent on how much disposable income you have (or simply spoiled from mommy and daddy) to spend on ski gear, and how much...

Was blazing in the back country and two ski partols came. They toked up with us, helped us build a booter then showed us all up throwin cork 9s off it.
