second time boarding last year.. begining of the season i thought i got the hang of it, obviously i didn't and caught toe edge threw me far... all i remember is being taught to roll on a shoulder and not stick hands an what not out from judo classes.. so i roll i get up feel my shoulder and my AC joint was seperated... that is where the clavical attaches by the shoulder... long story short it was up to about my ear.. had to have surgery to tie it back down.. YAY!
PS back on the board again and no more problems with it

Well I'll go in the order they occurred. (The falls worth mentioning in my 6 years of riding so far) I personally don't think I had any bad falls yet.

-2nd year of riding, caught an edge on some stupid trail, nothing worth talking about, fell and went to cushion the fall with my right arm, fractured my wrist. Ever since then I've always been careful when it comes to trying to cushion falls, that was a dumb ass injury.

-in between my 4th and 5th years of riding me and my friend decided it would be fun to hike around my neighborhood one year when we had some snow and find places to go riding. Well we made a small jump, and there was some foliage or something sticking through the snow right before it, some how my board snagged on it, and I went flying into the air and landed on my forearms, and some rocks/gravel put a 1 inch diameter puncter wound in my forearm. It didn't actually, I got up laughing but then saw the shit load of blood pouring out of my arm and was like oh fuck, it was pretty deep... only needed 7 stitches though ha.

- this year, doing a 180 somehow landed sideways, bruised my knee really bad (couldn't walk on it after I got home) Idk what I did to it but the pain went away, so I'm assuming it was just a bruise.

- this year, doing a board slide down a fairly steep flat rail my toe edge caught somehow and I tried to jump out of it as this happened. (only made things worse making me go higher into the air) landed pretty much strait on my face in the snow and my whole body arched over me. That was probably one of the scariest falls, because the noise it made, and it just kind of scared the shit out of me cuz I thought I was going to break my neck. I kept riding that day but I was dizzy for like 2 hours afterwards. My friends were all laughing about how it was the craziest face plant ever. I just remember afterward lieing there and some dude asking me if I was ok, and how long it actually took my brain to formulate the words and say yeah I'm alright. Even funnier was how I started laughing about how funny that had to look to anyone who was watching.

Thats all I have worth mentioning, the shit that scares me from doing big jumps is broken bones, and getting pins and all that crazy crap. I don't want it. Cuts and bruises aren't that bad, but breaking shit not only sux, its mad expencive and it kills your entire season.

My shoulder for sure. Happened about 3 weeks ago. It took me a week to lift my hand/arm above my shoulder. It has been sore since then sometimes more than others. It is SLOWLY getting better which I'm thankful for.

sounds like tons of injuries are common. =(

My worst wreck was last season, i got off a long box after doing a board slide to fakie. Well this dumb ass little kid was sitting about 2 5 feet off the end of the box. Well as I slid off the end and landed, I realized he was there, starring right at me. I had no time to stop and turn considering I was going as fast as I could to hit the kicker right after that. I proceeded to drill him right in the head, thank god he had a helmet on. Knocked him clear out, and proceeded to do a front flip right over the top of him, landing right on the side of my head and wrenching my neck so bad I had to be ambulenced to the hospital, they thought I broke my neck. I know how resiliant the human body now is. Knock on wood, no broken bones yet, just some terrible soreness.

50-50 on a rollercoaster box. however the box wasn't parallel with the slope so i started to slide to my right before i finished. i decided to just jump off but didn't jump far enough and my board hit the ice that formed up to the box. board slipped out, tailbone straight into the ice. hurt for a while but not enough to stop me. snowboarded for the rest of the day, drove 2 hours home at days end, then next day drove 7 hours back to florida. when i got back to florida, that's when the real pain started to happen. missed work for a week cuz i couldn't perform my daily tasks. so sudden movements either.
