it is in mamoth the 29th to 1st that is all i know hopefully turpin gets better cause he is the sickestit seems that whenever skiers are getting really good they get injured like skogen did
seriously no one answers their phones in california or something. those fockers. but I left a buncha messages so someone will call back eventually. I'm sure snowqueen isn't lieing but hopefully it wasn't anything major and he'll be back in a couple days. I'll let you guys know whats up as soon as I found out.
bad news boys. turpin cased a jump and then rolled over and his knee was hurting so they checked it out and they think it's his ACL. He's coming back here in a couple days to have an MRI to figure it all out. Acl's suck indeed. but hey, like jdub says, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
anyone know what he was trying? or what kind of jump it was?

You know something that would really make me applaud? A guy gets stuck in quicksand, then sinks, then suddenly comes shooting out, riding on water skis. How do they do that?
no he wasn't on the new binding. no one has them yet. It was on one of the tables in the public park in mammoth and he cased and there it went. dunno how bad it is, he's coming back here in two days and then going to get an mri.
just a question, probably a stupid one for anyone whos been to superpark, isnt superpark invation only? if it is, any one know why he was skiing in the public park?
Sometimes these guys go to the public park during super park also. Almost every jump at mammoth is quality and since its the middle of the week there isnt anyone in the public either.
oh dude...thats so shitty. Best wishes to him getting better and ripping it up again as soon as possible. Thats shitty to hear about stuff like this happenign to anyone.

hopefully in his time off he'll get back to the basics and try to learn how to ski on the whole mountain, but i hope he gets better soon. its no good when good when people are hurt
You obviously haven't the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. Turpin absolutely trears shit up al over the mountain, I guarantee you wouldn't even look at some of the lines he throws down. Also he killed a bunch of switch rodeo 7's to switch on a powder booter. that shit takes mad skiing skill.
