Realization

Today I was shredding my backyard ramp... And when I was feeling really stoked and like I was really awesome hitting my 15ft rail stomping every hit... Then something just happened. I dropped in like normal and jump off the ramp just like normal. Some how some way I got clipped or something in the oddest way possible. I have fallen on it before but not like this, this time I flew forward and just belly flopped onto the rail and then slid of and got my gut hit on the 2x4 supports that hold the rail up. Instantly pain just filled my gut and arms... basically my arms and gut took the punch. I laid there gasping for breath like you do when your winded feeling like death was near... blah blah blah... And as I lay there I was like fuck this I quit. I quit I am finished hitting this rail for a month at least... then the pain succeeded... I felt this rush of realization. I am not awesome, I have much to learn, and if I am going to be any good at this amazing sport I must take the hits that it brings me. I got up to the top shaking, hit the rail just fine realizing... I am just lucky that I even get to ski. Let alone my backyard. Anyone else ever had any realizations like this that feel like they alter your life?

but yeah i know what you mean
 
when i tore my knee up i realized i took too many things for granted and now i appreciate skiing, walking and the mtn a ton more.
 
well my realizations are usually more along the lines of im too long and lanky to be good at skiing, im not gymnastically inclined enough to be good at skiing, i havent gotten much better in the past 4 years, i cant do tricks that i thought id be able to do by now, i dont have a good enough park at my home mountain to get any better. etc. etc. etc.
 
Last season I came to the realization that I suck at park skiing and have tons of fun doing basic tricks, but even more fun skiing outside of the park. Also I realized how easy I can get hurt when I broke my ankle literally just slipping and falling.
 
easier said then done, living in cleveland and all.. hopefully i get some type of scholarship next year so i can afford a college where i can shred some kneedeep
 
Yes it sucks man cuz cascade concrete the pow we get here is uber thick and when there is 3ft at white pass almost every run is flat. you have to like wade threw the shit its crazy!!!
 
I am going to avoid reading every thread that you make from now on, because the amount of time I waste reading them and being disappointed is starting to add up.
 
I always think about how lucky i am to have gotten into skiing and somewhat be able to afford it. yeah, i live in shitty missouri but i still have a small hill with a descent park for what it is. some people have no snow whatsoever or no money at all.
