It has transitioned into that really good corn. We had a week of hot weather where it got to 100 in Portland and that set thing up good for the res of the summer up there. All the terrain parks now are heavily salted to keep it firm and fast. That crap we dealt with in the afternoons, is a spring phenomenon really.

Hey Mooz, how does that banana do as far as pop for ollies and jumps? I am curious how the rocker design works in that regard.

Kinda hard to compare since I didn't know how to ollie (properly) prior to this but I did notice it didn't take much to pop huge on a jump with that board.

where the pictures at!!

I know you all must have recovered by now, surely...

Mooz

Not all of us recovered lol. I have 4 weeks of physical therapy and then maybe surgery. Hopefully I can avoid the surgery but that depends on the PT. At the same time, I can ride a freakin half pipe now so it was well worth it!

Here's a link to some footage from session 2 for those of you who went...reminisce!

Windells Summer 2008 Session 2

Yeah I dislocated me knee and didn't realize it. I just thought it was tweaked when the sharp blinding pain turned to dull pain. What actually happened was my knee went back into place. Either way I kept riding and I tore the medial patellafemoral ligament that holds my knee in place (not sure if I tore it because I kept riding or if I tore it when I dislocated the knee). The next day out I rolled my ankle on a huge jump (duh loose boots is BAD) tearing a ligament on my ankle and straining my achillies.

I have 3 more weeks of physical therapy but it's progressing well and I've been adding a lot of heavy quad workouts in the gym to make the area stronger. My knee feels a lot better and I can finally stand on my toes again.

Hey I'm going to session 6 and am pretty damn excited. Should I keep my equipment to a minimum? I'm planning on bringing two boards, just in case. Do I need a sleeping bag? I heard the snow is still pretty nice, which is awesome! I've read the entire thread, but if you have anything else you can tell me I'd appreciate it!
