tib/fib and femur jan 4th, skied for the first time today, i'm literally over the fucking moon right now. less than 3 months out and i'm fucking skiing aaaaaaaa
7 weeks out of a broken navicular (midfoot) here. Gonna be another couple months to ski, the bone i broke is more or less the cornerstone of your foot and arch.
smashed my knee on a rail, fractured my patella (kneecap). Did it in the mid of February and went skiing for the first time two days ago. Stupid idea, my knee is still tender as fuck and now hurts lika biatch.
was hitting a banging s rail, skis fell on one side, body on the another, listened to my legs break over the rail, and thats why i don't hit s rails anymore...shit it hurt...
Nothing serious, did my shoulder last year and still hasn't fully recovered, either I'm too much of a pro or I need to go bigger, I think it's the latter
A GS ski prereleased and slid underneath me as I was falling, sliced clean through. Crazy thing was I didn't notice, skied down to work and then felt a bit shaken and felt the blood dripping down my calf!
pulled a simon dumont this January. Overshot a booter by about 30 feet and wadded up in the flats so hard. Broke my pelvis in 3 places and all the way through my sacrum. Now I've got a six inch screw holding it all together and have been lying here on mom's couch ever since.
Dude I have the exact same injury! Overshot a jump 4 years ago and my edge cut my upper thigh down to my femur. Ended up severing my hamstrings and hip flexor completely and i cut part of 2 other muscles that are on the back of the thigh. Took about 400 stitches and I had to learn to walk again after 6 months on crutches.
Fractured first metacarpal back in January. Got surgery and had a cast for a little over a month. That probably hurt more than the ACL, but obviously the surgery and recovery was nothing compared to the ACL. Had 2 pins in that came out.
Skier's thumb. When the ulnar collateral ligament rips in half, specifically from your poles striking the ground before you initially reach the ground on rather large jumps. Hence, the metacarpus and/or phalanx rips through the skin. Tasty and fun.
