The Hard Way

I'll tell ya. About 4 years ago I was planning a trip with a friend to go to Aspen for a snowboarding vacation and but I ended those plans about 2 weeks before we were to leave. I broke my wrist pulling a 180 nose grab of a medium sized funbox. I caught heel side and I had just enough speed to get thrown about 15 feet over the box onto the flat bottom, which was all iced up, and landed on my left wrist. It split that little nub behind your hand on your pinky side. Boy did that hurt. Oh and to top it off the resorts medical office used maxi pads to line the inside of my splint. I guess they get a lot of injuries so they have to go cheap-o on the first aid supplies. Shesh, I'm glad I didn't get a head injury.
