Going big off a little kicker at keystone and somehow taking off completely backseat and getting the worst shinbang I've ever had. I was in some of the worst pain of my life on the drive home and my shin still hurts over 2 weeks later
Casing at Breck or finding out my GoPro's mem card hadn't been cleared on one of the sunniest, emptiest, most perfect condition park days my home mountain has ever seen
The moment I landed after overshooting a jump and thought I blew out my knee. Luckily it was nothing serious and I was able to just take a few weeks to film and even announce a couple rail jams and then was then back to normal. A lot of good things came out of that injury... Don't think I've ever said that before.
Friendly comp with a few of my friends, tried to see who could go smallest on a cork 3 without hand-dragging, ended up sending it on a 15 footer in the beginner park and didn't come around completely and tweaked my back out so hard that I couldn't walk for 3 days, much less ski. That shit sucked.
For the first time (ever?) this season when I was out west the powder murdered my legs. Normally I can fire away down the entire mountain no big deal, but at steamboat the constant powder made skiing groomers so choppy I couldnt go 100% without having to take a second or two after each run.
or kicking out a window of a gondola one drunken night and getting fined for it
Otherwise it was good season, landed my first punch front so that was cool.
Went off a jump, washed out, and my ski popped off. The brake didn't come down and my ski flew into a tree and broke my binding. I couldn't ski for the rest of the day after only 4 runs.
Under-rotated a backflip on a backcountry step down, tips caught, flew forward and smashed my head into the ground and gave myself a nasty concussion. My neck still hurts from the whiplash.
I straddled at bunch of rails, 1 of them urban, and I smacked myself so hard I got sick after it. I twisted my knee in October at a preseason rail jam, but that got better after a couple weeks. The good outweighed the bad.
And in March I was trying 3 ups on an A frame, slipped out and got a nasty concussion. 2 days before the ACT Test. (Basically biggest college placement test in our state)
Living in revelstoke for the winter, they happened to get 3 weeks of sun in January. On the last day before it was supposed to start puking snow again. Caught a edge and fell hard, ended up with a dislocated shoulder and a torn rotator cuff. Still waiting on surgery.
Having to traverse 10 minutes to an unpatrolled part of the mountain (black mountain for those familiar) after close because jstrathern can't follow directions (it was also cloudy and getting pretty dark in between the trees) But, if that was the worst part of my season, which it was, than I had a pretty damn good year.
switch 2 on to a flat rail with a donkey dick my front ski came off I landed on my ribs and rode the entire second half of the rail and dick on my ribs. I laid in the landing for at lest 10 minutes.
When I went huge on the the jumps at my resort. I landed flat hardcore and I broke my brake of my binding.. shit I never even hit those jumps til like 2 weeks after.. I Fucking hate jumps..
