My worst wreck was on a motorcycle, but we wont get into that here. Hah. Lets just say I am lucky I can still ride.

Worst slame I ever took was in 1989 at a local golf course. There was this great sand trap that made a kick-*** jump. I was learning b/s 360's and only spinning like 300 and sliding out the rest. I wanted a perfect one. I got pissed and tried to rotate as hard has I could. I ended up going 360 + 90. Land square on my heel edge, and when straight down on my back/head. Knocked the wind out of me, and got a minor concusion. Fortunatlly, that is the worst snowboard slam I've ever taken. Skateboarding on the other hand...

Heh. My worst wasn't so much bad as funny. It was my 3rd or 4th day snowboarding. I had picked it up well enough to go fast and carve somewhat but consistency was lacking. It was in Utah with about a foot of fresh snow. I was cruisin, and caught edge hidden somewhere in all the fluff. It flipped me upside down and I helicoptered (my board sort of looked like a helicopter blade spinning fast) and then landed in the snow head first. This girl saw it and felt bad for me so she asked if I was ok. I said yeah because falling in that much pow pow was like falling on marshmellow cushions. Then she said, "good, cause that looked really cool!" LOL. I was like, "let's do that again!"

When I was learing how to snowboard, I was trying to lean back so I could slow down. I guess I leaned back to far because before I knew it, I was wiping out. I ended up with my legs twisted and I had a fat bruise on the inside on my leg for a few weeks. Everytime I took a step I was in pain. It sucked.

so close to breaking arm last time out. hyper-extended it real bad attempting my first 180 off a jump. worth it though.

new show on mtv starting in a few weeks called "Scarred" -video tapes of people doing tricks and breaking their limbs. some of us may qualify.

in my first season i had the balls to hit jumps with my seasoned buddies and i wasnt making the jump at the bottom of the hill all day so at the end of the day i got the balls to bomb the hill and hit the jump without a single carve to slow me down... well i ended up landing about 15 foot past the landing on the back of my board and i hit so hard my feet both popped out of my bindings and my board cracked me in the back of my head knocking me out... a few trips to the hill later i was confident again and decided to hit the bigger jump at middle of the hill and i landed on the back of my board AGAIN and this time i had new bindings that held me in and i ended up yanking my ankle out of the socket then when i hit the front of my board i sprained the same ankle.. that concluded my first season i couldnt walk on it for about a month without crutches

I hit a long narrow patch off ice while trying to turn, and ended up going about 30 ft on my knees, I was in a race for 6 weeks, there was no stopping, haven't been back there since, (smaller mt, for beginers anyway), I won't name it but, they didn't do a good job grooming that year, missed the shortcuts and the steep slope! Now that sucked, it was my second time on a board!, took a whole season to try it again, the injury lasted right through the winter, they were pushing me down the rest of the season on a tube on the bunny slope. lol
