              Wow. Truly amazing stuff in those videos. Those guys go huge. Alas, sometimes one has to realize their age, understand the frail nature of the aging human body and live vicariously. I have a set but not for park - I was given a pair of the casual types by K2 and plan to lick the jar in that way. Use it as a training tool in the off season. You guys go get it and post up the videos so those of us less capable can appreciate you. Oh, but don't get too cocky or I'll back over you in a vehicle that costs twice as much as you've made in your entire life. Yuk yuk yuk

                  I just don't see a way of avoiding ER visits. Ha ha.

                      GOM,

                      But there are huge difference between you and me visiting the ER for such reasons. With you, a hot nurse will patch you up and tell you to be careful out there. I get Nurse Ratchet who makes it clear that they fix physical injuries at the ER but I should consider visiting the mental/emotional repair ward down the hallway and to the right.

                        I don't think you understand how many times I have been to the ER...they know me by name and say, "Oh God...Dennis...what did you do this time?"

                          GOM,

                          Oh, in that case the mental/emotional repair ward is down the hallway and to the right. Bring proof of insurance and if needed a letter from your guardian authorizing psychotropic medication in large doses.

                            Hah, the ER is way too expensive, superglue and homemade casts are great.

                            By the way, I skate in a suit. A business suit. With an impact suit under it. :P

                            Got to have style out there.

                                ***Hah, the ER is way too expensive, superglue and homemade casts are great.***

                                Ahh, if life were so easy. Actually, here hospitals are pretty cheap. It's semi-socialized. As long as you have a full time job your employer is required to issue you a health card which covers 70% of your bill and there are a number of secondary insurance schemes that covers the rest for essentially pennies. For example, I have one of the best (most expensive) secondary plans and for the equivalent of about $120 a month my entire family is covered 100% to include medicine, dental (not cosmetic), optical - you name it and there is no monetary, time or treatment type limitations. The only caveat is it only kicks in if you become an in-patient. But here, you can go to the hospital with a paper cut and if you request to be hospitalized it happens immediately. A few years ago when my son broke a few fingers and shattered his thumb riding his bike a surgeon fixed him up and he could have come home right away but I stayed in the hospital at his bed side with him overnight so the insurance covered 100% of the surgeon costs, casts, medications, follow-up visits, rehab - the works. It's all inclusive as long as you begin as an in-patient and there is absolutely no additional paperwork because it's recognized by the established medical system. Pretty good stuff. The only plans up from that cover all types of visits to include outpatient, cosmetic dental work and things like that. But, the cost of those plans get steep in a big hurry because that stuff is outside of the government supported medical system (as it were) so the insurance company is shouldering 100% of those costs.
