Speed seemed to be an issue for a lot of people today. Yesterday was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 jumps were real nice today. i'm pretty sure we saw you eat shit from the lift. sucks. we were just hitting the first and second jumps while popping the knuckle of the 3rd and not even hitting it. no way was there enough speed for that today.

Blong131 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 haha maybe you did...i had a black tall tee with the count from sesame street on it people usually pick me out by that...i wish i remembered how the whole thing went down...i just remember knowing i was gonna come up short and bracing for impact haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justo8484 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 yeah 3rd jump was basically off limits today. it was fun yesterday, but even hitting it coming off the 2nd was difficult yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blong131 Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 the worst part of it isnt even the injuries...its the fear...i only started skiing this year and ive been progressing ridiculously fast...the one thing i loved about skiing is that i wasnt afraid to charge hard at jumps...that would have been my biggest of the year though...when i went down the first time i knew i had to get up and try it again so i wouldnt be afraid of it...i figgured if i tucked from the top jump id have the speed...now im nervous that when i do get back on skis im gonna be afraid of the big jumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blong131 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 haha yeah it was...that wasnt even the hit that gave me the concussion...after that one i was like fuuck it ill just tuck from the top and ill be fine...but i was not fine and hit much harder the second time around haha were you one of the many skiers behind me the first time that cased it too?

Dan- Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Ah, you were the one spitting up blood saying you bit your tongue after casing the jump. Yeah, i never felt like i would of had enough speed to hit that today. Snow was super slow. I was the lone snowboarder in the big crew of skiers rolling through the park. Tan pants/brown coat/white helmet. Don't be afraid, i got worked on the big jump at boulder last year, that justo laid witness to. Just have to man up, and go back at it.

Kyle Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 i did a perfect half backflip at boulder saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 last jump was barely clearable today at Blue. The first two were perfect, but the last one i clipped the knuckle every time with my tails. once the snow gets a little quicker it should be fine.

gdthomas Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yeah I was just straight airing the first two and didn't even both trying the third. My friends who just started trying park don't realize how hard it hurts to land in the flat and they were being retarded and trying to hit going way to slow and then would complain.

No sense in coming back early, and hurting yourself worse because your body wasn't ready to take the beating again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method9455 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 were you using a helmet? Generally the helmets don't do much to stop a concussion in these situations. I always wear mine and they are useful if you catch and edge or something, but knuckling a jump its just falling off a tall building onto flat, the helmet can't do much of anything. I broke my nose knuckling a jump because my knee basically went through my face a few years back so I literally feel your pain. At least you are losing a month now and your season isn't over, there will be a good amount of time after you get back on the snow to have a good season.
