Landed a little sideways and the snow didn't give at all... Binding didn't release and leg broke right at the top of the binding.

 

[driveclimbslide]

Thanks for the embed.... blame it on the morphine

 

[Jonny7]

such a bummer to break a leg on a 3

 

[a_pla5tic_bag]

at least you got footage of being taken down in the sled.

 

[TheHuggyBear]

yea and looked rather smooth ride

 

[Park_Ranger]

vibes

 

[j.saaaarela]

+vibes man, that looked rough

 

[driveclimbslide]

Sled ride wasn't too shabby. Always fun to be carried next to a kids mogul contest. Pretty weaksauce to break a leg like that though. Oh well... it happens. At least it's towards the end of the season.

 

[driveclimbslide]

Thanks for the vibes guys. Supposed to be walking in about a month.

Haha, sorry dude that sucks but I did almost the same thing at Whiteface. Messing around in the spring skiing in jeans and t shirts. Landed a little crooked doing trains of old school tricks and broke my ankle. Sucked because we got dumped on twice that April. Good Luck with the recovery though

 

[TheUngroomed]

OUCH!

 

[driveclimbslide]

Check out what I just got... just a little titanium:

 

[Ghini]

Boot you mean I gues?? Morfine?

What was your DIN setting and what binding? Thanks

 

[*Dos*Planker*]

DAMN GURL

 

[driveclimbslide]

Def morphine... Meant the boot. Look Lifter PX12s were the bindings. This rod is pretty sweet though, just did a lap around the hospital with hardly any pain (haven't had any morphine for five hours).

 

[driveclimbslide]

DIN was at 8. Impact I think was very perpendicular to the ski.

 

[Sallabillz]

how the hell did you break your leg on a fall like that wtf?????

 

[driveclimbslide]

Wish I knew... I was a little surprised myself.

New x-ray view!

 

[manabadman]

[H8CH]

That looks clean, but a real bad shear fracture....

 

[SteezyTJH]

this! hahaha sounds the exact same (except for the help calls)

 

[hurrisun]

just as i suspected.... skinny alien bones

 

[skiRay]

damnnn sorry to see that happen. i guess i can justify not spinning that jump ever hahah. i always straight air it for 2 reasons.. 1) afraid to underrotate2) dont want to risk falling before the next 3 jumps
+vibes

 

[driveclimbslide]

I bet my rod is longer than yours... ha! I suck at jokes. Family Guy comparison is priceless though.i

 

[SPskier543]
