Eleven broken wrists. YUP, eleven. 7 right 4 left but never both at the same time. Did most of them playing hockey. Once I went 8 months in a cast, got it off, and then broke it again like two days later.

Six fractured ankles, from soccer, rugby, football and drunken foolishness.
Dislocated shoulder from a hot air balloon crash. Broken nose from Golden Gloves.
I am fifty-two now and I sometimes I feel them all at once.

I wont take it personally since I use to compete. Injury/risk is part of the game. When you jump a 60 foot gap, $hit can happen! And the concusions were all before helmets were available. I wear one now. When I was younger, just cruising wasnt enough fun. Had to always go bigger, higher, spin more and go inverted.

My black eyes are always from landing on the back of my neck and having my knees punish my face.

And by the way, Ive never once had ski patrol bring me down the mountain.

As for skiiers, I hate you guys too.... the 80's called, they want their 1 piece flourescent suits back!

ok ok... so you don't need a lesson. But extreme SKIERS get hurt too, ya know. One just died about a week ago in Utah. Ever heard of Warren Miller films? uh huh. I got a personal lesson from someone who used to ski in his movies... he noticed I was having trouble trying to get up after a fall... just ~ a month after having major abdominal surgery.

And just so you know: skiing has been around LONG before the 80s.

It takes a lot more skill to become an EXPERT skier than it does to become the equivalent level boarder.

But hey, apples and oranges...

Haven't been to Canada yet to ski, but am meaning to go to Whistler when my 3 year gets better than I am, which ought to be soon.

Want to go to the Banff area too, but for hiking. We have a few skier only parks.

Come on Bodegas... can we still be friends? Will you like me again if I add to my sports injuries list?

Everyone is my friend VB. I'd atleast like to see a punctured spleen from a yard sale fall off a mogul!
Banff to Jasper is beautiful to hike and camp. Skiing is good. They get a lot of dry powder. Whistler is amazing because it is heavy, wet powder but overcrowded with euro skiers wearing funny one piece suits and 80's sunglasses. You'll see me at the bar by the gondola. Id rather ride Mt Baker in Wa. for a hardcore day of riding out of boundaries.

I can't much handle a lot of mogul action... destroyed knees from volleyball. And like someone else, I too have fractured my leg (twice) playing soccer. I've had plenty of other injuries, stitches, ER trips, surgeries... but it's a tough call as to what was THE most painful. Always thought it was tearing all the ligaments in my foot (which never got repaired so I twist my ankle REGULARLY), but I now do believe it was natural childbirth. That's a sport I won't be playing again, probably.

Like boxing, all kinds of fun training and sometimes hard work but even if your beat up you still feel proud of your self.

this is true. 3 years later, and he's driving me nuts, but he's still the best thing I ever "made".
