nutshots arent fun, trust me ive had black balls, falling on big jumps can hurt, ive had concussions, driven pole handles and ski tips through my face and had dual broken wrists, but I would take any of those any day over fucking my knee. we're talking 10min-2 days of pain and then you're back on skis versus an excruciating 6-12 months. and as long as you dont base your career off of going retardedly huge off of everything, like simon, you wont overshoot shit that bad.
