those are some intense injuries...mine prolly aren't that bad...but when i was little i guess, i was riding my bike and i wanted to try and make it under this rope that my little sister and i had attached to 2 trees in our driveway, so when i started riding i yelled okay pull up the rope, and i tried to get under it, but i actually clothes-lined my self, and ended up flying off my bike and having a huge rope burn/cut across my neck..and one time, when i was skiing, we were sessioning this table top, and when i was in the air, i dont know how this happend, but i totally lost control and at the landing of the jump, my pole got stuck in the snow and i fell into it and the handle or whatever slammed right into my throat, and i had a horrible wipe out, and i just layed there for like 10 minutes and i could barely breath and i coughed up blood, it was kinda grose...the ski patrol didnt know what to do, they thought i broke my jaw at first cause i couldnt move it.. so he just made me lay off to the side and looked at me...but yah, i have tons of accident stories i cant remember them all right now though..im kinda prone to accidents...heh
It's not about the wannabes stylin' for the crowd. It's about you setting your own standards and being a tough judge...
