Wudski

First day first run. Did the blue at Fernie BC fine. Got to the bottom. Cut an edge and fell. Forgot my cell was in my top pocket. Broke my rib and took my very first visit to a Canadian hospital.

Cell still works good today!

In my first season I was trying to link turns I got going too fast and the front of my board dove into the snow and the rest of my body rotated around my front leg resulting in a bad knee sprain that lasted about a month. Other than that just a few bumps and bruises so far, been hit by the lift once too.

My worst injury was not snowboarding related. I tore my ACL and maniscus playing basketball and had it repaired in August. My surgeon cleared me for freeride boarding at the end of this month, but he said no tricks.

Worst snowboarding incident was my first attempt at a rail grind. I didn't line up right, board went off one side of the rail but my weight was going the other way. I ended up with a bruise the size of a basketball on my left thigh and luckily I had a helmet on, otherwise I would have had a concussion.

My worst/most retarded injury ever was I was leaving a hockey rink after a box game and a hobo, doesnt even try to mug me or anything, just runs at me full sprint, stabs me and runs off .
Ive had like 8 concussions
and my only snowboarding injuries so far are I busted a nut and split my noggin a little

Years ago I was riding with cross-under transitions and laid out carves on my freeride board. The hill had hero snow conditions, and tempting fate, I kept diving harder and harder across the board to pull lower and tighter carves. I finally dove too soon, caught the downhill edge, and did 2 or 3 faceplant somersaults. Somewhere in catapulting I remember feeling a sharp pain in my ankle. I cracked the lense of my goggles, got a bloody nose and some nice road rash on my face, and sprained my ankle. I floundered for a few minutes trying to stand up under the pain, until I saw the ski patrol coming up the hill on a snowmobile with a sled. Too proud to hitch a ride, I hurriedly forced myself to my feet and sideslipped down the mountain, keeping all of my weight on my good foot. I limbed across the parking lot to my car, moaned and groaned an aweful lot taking my boot off, and then learned that it's quite painful to push in a clutch with a sprained ankle. Once I got going, I freeshifted without the clutch and blew every stop sign on the way home, finally letting the car stall in front of my house. It took months before I could walk without limping and a solid year to really recover. Now 15 years older and being a little less vain, I'd gladly accept that sled ride down if I were to end up in that predicament again. (Knock on wood that it doesn't happen.)

There she is. Caught an edge on a back back board and went face first into the snow which was more or less ice. That was a bad one.

In two seasons of riding worst was a concussion from jumping off a cliff at Whistler onto a groomer on my head the week before Christmas. So I hear. Can't really remember so much. That and a hyperextended elbow from trying to ride up a wall jump, losing my balance and landing on ice at Cypress last month. Still feeling that one. Since then I got a helmet and Impact gloves so I'm good to go

Oh, stupidest injury though -- three summers ago I was at a pool party and I meet this chick thinking I was gonna get lucky that night. I had no idea...so she asks me to grab her a drink, I'm running up the patio stairs soaking wet, barefoot, thinking "damn, these are slick, someone could get seriously hurt." Well shit, on the first step down, holding a drink in each hand, my feet go flying out in front of me and next thing I know I'm sliding down the stairs on my ass. Halfway down, I hear some glass break and now I'm sliding backwards down the stairs. I hit the ground, like "f@ck, I can't believe I just did that" and stand up ready to ride away smooth like nothing happened, still got the cups in my hand, when I realize my right knee is real warm. And everybody is staring at me looking stunned. Turns out the glass breaking was my leg going a window. And I got turned backwards 'cuz my right knee got caught on the broken glass in the windowframe. Two hours in the ER, 70+ stitches and a scope later I've got this spiffy little tag on my leg:

On the bright side, I did get a conjugal visit in the hospital out of it. Unfortunately the nurse walked in on us. Shit's the breaks.
