SKIING INJURIES!!

Hi, obviously the perpose of skiing is to enjoy the thrill of cold wind against the face when you're caining down a beautiful mountain when you're miles away from all of lifes little problems. However, with pleasure (unfortunately) must come pain. In my 6 years of skiing i've been relatively injury free until last week at x-scape when I attempted freestyle skiing for the first time.



Here is a photo of the cuts and bruises i obtained when landing on a ski after attempting some sort of tabletop with a large gap n the middle.

What i was thinking is: if people, like myself, see the brighter side of these injuries then lets get a big folder full of our cuts and bruises to peruse at our leisure.

Respect to all freestyle skiers who make it look so easy.

Please ski safely!!

Too much (photographic) information. :lol:

Hope it all gets back to a normal colour soon.

Sorry to see the marks of the pain you must be feeling souldrive :!:

But I must agree - too much info :shock:

Glad this injury didn't come from learning to spin - better stay close to the ground until you get these tricks "dialed" :wink:

Oh ... the occasional air is good for the soul but those rails and landings can be painful. Should we search out your freestyle debut on U-tube ??? :lol:

Hope you back at it soon in pain free form,

Mike :wink:

there were some good freestylers filming so it may be on there somewhere? I had no idea the photo would be quite so big! Apologies, i'll crop them in future if i haven't already learned the hard way?
