i went snowboarding today, it was all ice, and i nearly broke my arm...

anyone else have any "fun" snowboarding stories?
 
the first time i went, i went to the intermediate slope. Well to make a long story short, i basically slid on my stomach for about 15feet down the slope(i was going very fast when i fell) and got snow up my shirt. Needless to say i was very cold the rest of the day.

also I though my wirst was gong to break more than a few times. Man that sh|t hurt!




imhotepMP
 
where did you go snowboarding? i'm going up the mt high next monday. hopefully a storm will come again soon so there will be lots of snow.
 
i was going down a black once and i tripped over a hump of snow (forgot what it is actually called). flew off and landed on my stomach. other than throwing all the air out of my stomach, banged my privates as well 😛
 
I broke my wrist Christmas Eve .. just got my cast off last week and still can't bend my wrist back at all.

*sigh*
 
my first time skiing with my friends...musta been like 12 or something back then, and they took me down the black diamond for my very first run. Told me it was the easiest :frown:

Anyhoo...i haven't skiied since. but snowboarding rocks! 😀
 
20_MuleTeam_Borax, I work security at a mountain in upstate New York, and we arrest people all the time for selling tickets. It's a big problem. Also, with people that try to get on a lift with someone else's pass or the wrong one. As for injuries, the meatwagon(ambulance) is usually up here around ten times a day and the helicopter is here for the bad wrecks about once a week. It's a pretty cool job!
 
i love snowboarding. i suggest that everyone wears wrist guards. i broke my wrist in mid december and now i will always wear protection. keep on ripping
 
Hey cool to mention it. I just got back from snowboarding today. Sweet day. Towards the end me and some friends found a nice jump with 1 foot+ of powder. So we decided to try some flips and other weird stuff. It didn't hurt to bad even if I fell right on my back. Kinda knocked the wind outta me though. 🙂
 
well, see, 20_muleteam_borax's happening, goes like this. this mountain we went to has a family night, 6 tickets for 30 dollars. and we didn't even ask for 6 tickets, we just wanted 3. so they gave us 6 anyway, so, we were like, well we might as well get our money back (selling them at 5 bucks a peice) and then some idiot told on us, and they took our 3 extra tickets. also, people standing right in front of the window selling there tickets don't get yelled at. it's bs.
 
Boarding rules! 🙂

I've boarded for 2 years and I still avoid ice, and there isn't much powder where i board, just groomed snow, maybe 1 inch of 'soft' snow if im lucky.
:\

 
Don't know about fun but I can remember rolling down the slopes and having backpains on the way home.. boarding still rocks but the injuries are just an unwelcomed bonus but that's what Med Insurance is for so go out and use it!
 
once went to austria.
on the first day after about 1.5 hours i had a serious crash
and my snowboard was stuck in the snow. could not get it out
neither could i move because my leg was broken.
the remaining two weeks of the vacation were boring as hell.
