Ok, so here's what happens. I go to a junky resort in NC to go skiboarding for my last time of the season. Snow wasn't too bad at the start of the day, but as the day progressed, the wonderfully thin amount of packed powder turns to slush. No big deal, right, except for the ice layer below that. Seems not to serious but when you have people on snowboards for the first time taking chunks out of said ice makes it slightly dangerous. So I come down the mountain on a GREEN CIRCLE -.-" (still angers me) going maybe 20-25mph and carving so low I am near inches off the ground. Soon I reach close to the bottom of the mountain and I skid across an ice patch thinking "ok no big deal just ride it out", but no, somehow managed to catch a front edge in the gash missing in the middle. Performed a perfect superman pose...3 feet off the ground. Extended my elbows as a reflex and braced for the crash, landed directly into my left elbow dislocating my shoulder from where it normally hangs out to under my collar bone...quarter way cross my chest (OUCH!!!). Once I noticed my shoulder was missing, I was a little nervous. Got to the hospital after a painful hour and received the wonderful pain meds. As they were giving me propaline (the meds to knock me out so they can put my shoulder back), I dont remember past about 100mg of it but they gave me 200mg of propaline (max dose before they paralize me for a few mins as an alternative) but as I was high off my butt, the doctors told me afterwards, I was talking about skiboards and basically promoting the sport so to speak. So, I was pretty proud of myself that in all that pain, I still care about the sport enough to talk about it when I can barely focus.

haha no biggie, should've gotten on the lift for another run! Once upon a time i saw a skier fall off a rail, he got to the bottom of the hill, took his glove off and poured out blood, saw his wrist was broken, and jumped on the lift for another run, i guess some guys won't leave the mountain on a bad note!

If you're into making smart decisions than you are in the wrong type of sport. Smart decisions are for people who live life safely. If people were making smart decisions in sports we wouldn't have any of these types of sports. Think about it, sliding down a steep mountain with two pieces of wood on your feet. And I know, you mean smart as in making a decision after getting hurt. But, who cares.I'm a snollerblader.

Ya...not the safest sport in the world but that is why I love it so much and ya I would have gotten back up and gone for more skiboarding if my shoulder wasnt nested in my chest as much lol. Funny thing was I was actually considering pulling my arm back in place but the girl with me (who is training to be a pt) wouldnt do it for me and there was no way I could do it without 20 mins of agonizing pain. And Pinkkid, Im not sure just found it like a year ago and loved it...KMARTsoup

See, girls in the medical field can be a drag. A dude would have done it. My ex is an OT and she wouldn't temporarily fix my shoulder when I messed it up this past shoulder. But, I love girlsI'm a snollerblader.
