Injuries 2011/12

wasnt my injuries but mother nature was injured and couldnt snow so that ruined my season

Ouch! What a depressing thread haha. Last year I broke my collar bone off one of the kickers? That shit hurt and it pretty much ended my season. I put in about 10 days before it happened.

Cool thing was I had insurance on my season pass...and I got a full refund for it!

Bruised tailbone, partially torn rotator cuff, non-displaced fracture of left humorus bone. I kept riding. Sometimes with a sling, sometimes without. Advil does wonders.

No injuries but then again didn't even get to try much since there was no pow to cushion the fall.  

Did a full on scorpion going around 30mph... I think I tore something.
I did ride on it the next day... hurt like hell but I pushed through...
It still hurts today (1 month later).

Bombed a choppy trail way too fast at the start of the season and sprained my front ankle. Screwed up my progression for most of the season.

Blew my left knee out for the 4th time. Had surgery in early January. Worked hard and was able to get a few days in the last few weeks.

i had a seperated left shoulder in the middle of march and it kinda shtooked up the last few weeks of my season. anytime id fall i would reinjure it.  besides that, im happy to report an injury free winter

I was boarding at Sunpeaks just standing at the side of a run talking on an empty slope and an old skier ran right into me a ski on either side of my board. I broke my finger and ripped the tendon from the bone. I've only just got it out of the cast. Now I have to try to bend it. It hurts more now than when I broke it. 

My tail bones is in deep pain from falling off a box snowboarding.
The box was high in the air with a four foot drop. Its hard to sit down sometimes.
sucks!

Originally posted by bucknasty First day of the season I landed on my ass onto ice, about a 5-foot drop off a jump. Landed on one ass cheek instead of square on the tailbone, and ended up with some soft tissue damage in my ass cheek and hip. Kept on riding and tore my MCL the same day. That put me out a good 2 months or so, then I promptly sprained my ankle on my return to the slopes. Back to rehab... Still not fully healed but good enough to get several good days of riding late in the season, but I feel like I'm just barely getting back into the groove I was in at the end of last season.

Thats a rough day. You escaped the horrible tail bone injury, but hey, you cant escape them all.
I am happy my wrist is feeling great this year. I messed it up good couple years back. I think I fractured it, but I never got it checked out.

I was lucky I didn't damage my tailbone but sitting down was torture for a good 3-4 weeks. I definitely feel your pain there. I also have a wrist issue that shows up every once in a while but at least it doesn't keep us from riding!

DANG you should really be careful on the slopes man. Sucks that you accumulated some injures, but at least it didn't END your season.

Sprained my ankle really bad on a trampoline and it was messed up for a couple of months but I learned my lesson that Trampolines are dangerous but alot of fun :)

Lame. I didn't even get injured snowboarding. I got injured wrestling )=
Torn Meniscus in my left knee.

Originally posted by getkong i got lace bite first on my left foot, then my right.  caused by my ice hockey skates, and it caused some mild discomfort in my snowboarding boots. Now i have to wear little gel inserts to prevent it from getting worse.

I fell off a longboard last week and broke both of the bones in my left forearm

No SNOW! Hope for a lot this next winter.

I ended my season on the 3rd day I went out. It was some very icy hard-pack that I came down on and from the height on my launch and my lack of experience, just was too much. It was like jumping from a 2 story roof while moving. I ended up with a level 3 shoulder separation on the left, swelling in the bicep and tricep, bruising throughout the pec muscle and shoulder and I had a similar injury to my hip. That has not been diagnosed because I originally thought it was just sore from the landing. I am having in examined soon. The shoulder is at 90%, I can workout again with limited restriction, except for heavy weight. The hip still bothers me a lot and would probably be at 70%. After 4.5 months its been a long road, lots of rehab and painkillers, and my collar bone looks a tad off permanently.
