Took a bit of a tumble at Bridger.

Its easy to say you would of been fine if you truly pointed it, but having fallen myself doing about 90mph in the skied out flatter runout of a big straightline sometimes its not that sure and a fall going fast on the flats is far more brutal than a fall on the steeps all other things equal. If you like to go fast sooner or latter you're going to get spanked.

Glad you're all right.

Also, at least you're not rog.

Ok there fugginidiot

Who skis stupid? You bro

CLAIMED! send it to claim my run

Claimed x2. I have the broken femur and hardware to prove it.

[Like a Boss]

Fuck Yeah! Anybody going "90mph" recreational skiing deserves a spot on the Claim Train.

Second! Wait, so racers hit 80 MPH on injected DH courses on primo waxed DH boards and you did 90 MPH someplace?

[wolfelot]

Zoinks!!!!! Glad yer okay. I REALLY thought about that line over New Year's but wussed out.

[cyborg]

My slough uncovered some rocks I hadn't seen while I was scouting the line. The weird maneuver I tried to do to avoid them tripped me up, and I then hit a rock with the tip of my ski and double ejected. It went downhill from there.

I see. Punny right there too, eh?

Didn't realize it was bragging if I was referring to a fall. Pretty much thought all that proves is I once did something stupid?

This would not have happened on a ski with a bit more tail rocker.

No No No No No No


FIFY

This would not have happened on a ski like the amazing RAXski.

PS OP - ballsy line. You're lucky. Way to go for it though!

[flatNshallow]

Had to go back and stop it but sure as Shit, the rock is visible for a split second... nicely done. Glad you ok.

Now go do some charity work too balance your karmic scale.

Wait what? These are Bent Chetlers, you can't get much more tail rocker than those. Although I don't see why that matters anyway.

[totaliboard]

how would tail rocker have helped, TR?

I think the tail rocker comment comes from this video. (its around 4min mark)

Glad you're OK.

Yea, me too.

[Cosworth]

wish i had a smartphone or gps or something that would tell me how fast i am going.

That GPS goggle set up looks cool, MPH, airtime, alt. tunes and phone, you can use it for anything though, pricey!!. I' know I've hit 70......90 with a wreck, man that's scary.

90 may be a little exaggerated but run out speeds are way up there.

Yep, it was. I got off lucky. 19 year olds are stretchy. Destroyed my helmet and pulled it off my head, ripped my jacket and long underwear top off over my gloves which somehow stayed on, knocked me the fuck out for what I'm told was about 10 minutes. Only real injuries were the concussion, horrible whiplash, and badly bruised the bones in my knee. Like I said, got off lucky.

Racers hit upper 90s occasionally on icy rutted courses while basically constantly making very high g turns. I've been clocked at 80 (ok fine, 78 close enough) and I know this was a considerable amount faster than that. Straightline about 900 vertical feet of 40 degrees on a soft but fast windbuffed day already doing 30 or so when you are the cornice at the top and ya, 90 sounds about right.

For what its worth I think recreational skiers vastly overestimate the size of their airs but underestimate their speed. I'm too old to give a fuck what anyone thinks of me, and none of this even matters. We're all just monkeys anyways.

Yea, I didn't see it until it was too late either, just barely under the surface.
