Brush with death this weekend.

[jnevin]

I went up to Snowbird to get some spring snowboarding in this weekend. We got over two feet with this last storm that came through, so I was going pretty big, as much as my ability warrants. So I came up on this cliff that I've launched off of on powder days before, it's not too big, maybe fifteen feet, and when you land in powder it feels like five. I, dumbshit that i am, didn't wear my helmet due to the fact that I "took the pot" for the first time in over a year. I went by to make sure where I was landing would be OK and it was kosher. Next run, come barreling down and foked up my timing when I got to the edge. Instead of springing off and being centered for my landing, I got diagonal in the air and was going to land ass and back first. I hit hard, knocked the wind out of me, hurt my tail bone. After lying there for a minute or two cursing the gods for creating dumb fucking ideas, I noticed there was a rock inches from my head that would have made a mess of me. I still feel rattled from it. I've had little things in the past where I've thought "I could have got hurt maybe killed from that", but this scared the shit out of me.

Me too. Although everyone here would benefit from the lack of retarded posts that flow from my fingers like diarrhea from a pitcher.

I came pretty close a long time ago from a rope swing didnt let go and swung back, nearly hit the rocks next to the cliff, I would have been more brain damaged than I already am.
As for boarding dislocated my shoulder by doing my best impersonation of a flyswatter after I caught my front edge by not paying attention just gliding down a small incline on my back edge. Ruined me for a month.
