    Raise your hand if you've ever broken your collar bone skiing?

    Yeah, I still have the biggest lump on my shoulder from when I did mine in Mammoth. It was on the money booter at the bottom of the park...landed upside down on a backflip on the first day of my five day vacation....sucked real bad. It was definitely the most painful injury of all my injuries...

    Sitting on the back off you skis for speed and aerodynamic purposes

    sitting on your skis can lead to very bad injury to your knee. You are over extending and putting too much pressure on your patella tendon, and hitting a bump, or your ski catching an edge will have dire consequences....like tearing your ACL. Not fun guys. If you want more speed, do a racer...

    Backflips

    You can't just say, lean back and look for your landing, because that is why most people actually get hurt attempting backflips. You should try this on your trampoline first, then once you have it down pat, try it off a small kicker: The key to a backflip is in the hips, not the upper body...

    ---------------------Some thoughts on being injured--------------

    While you do have great ambitions, there are things that this injury should teach you. it is your choice to go back out and take risks, but you should think about a few things. Will any of this matter in 20 years? Will attempting this (insert trick here) actually help me in my skiing? Am I...

    Wear your helmets kiddos...(this is a long one)

    Honestly guys, not wearing a helmet, at any time, is most likely the dumbest thing you can do on the mountain. I would equate it to wearing a seatbelt in the car. Yo udon't necessarily wear it for when you make a mistake, but when others do. You don't know when then next way way out of...

    MAMMOTH CA. JUST BROKE ALL TIME SNOWFALL RECORD!

    This is Mammoth's record, right? Cause mt. baker (in Washington) got over 2 times that much in 97-98 i believe. But yea, I can't believe they have more snow than last year, and last year was unbelieveable!

    Slipped disc/ pinched sciatic nerve in my spine

    This is a problem that I have lived with for the last 6 years of my life. I have a buldging (slipped) L3 disk. It pinches the nerve before it splits, so I have pain down both of my legs. You need to be very very careful because putting strain on it now will lead to more permanant damage. It...

    Arrested Development

    I can't believe this. This is the saddest T.V. related news i have ever heard in my life. Literally, a tear came to my eye reading it....(I didn't even cry when my dog died....) I mean, I have had more laughs with this show than any other combined, and I'm not joking. I have had everyone...

    Yeah, there are a couple of things. First, get boots that fit right. The most important thing in a boot is the arch support. Go to a professional ski boot store (like surefoot) and get custom footbeds. That will take care of 90% of your shin bang and it will make your boot 1,000 times more...

    Goin to New Zealand Bitches!

    Well, most flights to Auckland from LA cost around 1600 dollars. But, when i came down last year, i got a flight for 700, so there are cheap ones out there. Getting a job will be difficult. Most will not employ you unless you have a level 2 certification or above, at least for teaching. For...
