Knee destroyed, but Gaffney movies for SALE!!!

[huckasoreass]

Well, as some of you saw in the Tahoe thread, my knee blew up just a couple of days ago and the recovery process starts tomorrow with surgery #1: repairing a torn patellar tendon, meniscus and some other little ligament I've never heard of as well as a couple other things (I lost track as the doc rattled them all off this afternoon). Then it's 6 weeks of immobilization, then 2-4 weeks of getting some mobility back, and THEN I go back to square one and get my ACL done.

I'm guessing some of you have been through this process before. I was definitely hoping for something a little quicker.

Anyway, three years ago I whined about being broke when I got my other ACL done and I posted about selling Walls of Freedom/1999 dvds on here to help me out. Well, it's three years later, I have two new sons, a modest house remodel that is now way over-budget and half-done (my 75 year-old dad is still sheetrocking downstairs while I ice and elevate), and now this injury is not only going to cost a ton even with insurance, but the next three months out in the mountains filming are critical income, and that's gone. Suffice it to say I'm in a far more precarious financial position than I was before.

So--Walls of Freedom/1999 dvds anyone? How about $20 this time around plus $3 shipping! Two dvds, two classic old school flicks, one of which was named "Movie of the Year" by Skiing mag and the other "Movie of the Year" by Freeskier. What a freakin bargain! For a good cause, too...

I'm still so old school that I have to go the check route, or I'll try to downgrade the price on Squallywoodthebook.com in the next couple of days.

For anyone interested in floating checks, feel free to send to:

Thanks for your support!!!!!!!!! Oh--and North Tahoe peeps--keep an eye out for a 1999 10-year Anniversary party. Now that I know I'm going to be in town the rest of the winter...

By the way, I'm not stoked, but I'm not moping. I don't tend to let myself get too bummed. I know there are plenty of people worse off than me out there. I was so fired up for this year though.

[XtrPickels]

Sucks to hear dude.
I already got these on the last go around... but if there was something else that you'd be interested in releasing...

[Sinecure]

Major bummer.

$$ for ski porn en route. Heal up quick.

[mntlion]

[truth]

uber bummer

[beaterdit]

Fack man, sorry to hear it.

Prolly out for the season myself.

Keep your chin up.

[Mofro261]

Ooouer.

Heal up+++

[dookeyXXX]

anyway i can pick it up as i'll be in Truckee Saturday riding somewheres (prolly AM or HW or...)

and man, i didn't know it was that bad from your Tahoe Condi post...bummer. I've had 3 buddies blow something out this year so far: knee, collarbone, Brad Pitt (Achilles).

dayam.

stay the course!

[Fritz]

Sucks dude, I know how you feel.

edit - thought this thread was about Berthoud Pass

[G]

Good luck.

[obscure reference]

Ouch. That sucks ass! Patellar is a big tendon to snap. How did that sound? That gives me the shivers just thinking about it. I hope you get well quickly. At least you got one good line off mainline pocket

[Big E]

Damn huck, that blows. Heal up fast so you can ... get to surgery #2. Aargh.

Like Sr. Pickels, I picked up 1999/Walls on the first go around. Heck, just watched 1999 a few nights ago! If you were to have some copies of Squallywood for sale, I would definitely contribute to the cause on that one.

Good luck.

[Particle]

Sorry to hear that Scott! Sounds like you've got the right approach to it though.

I'd be in for some Squallywood as well, since I also got the DVD's last time around.

[skier666]

Hey,

Since you enriched your oldest with the Swarm as the beginning of his ski stoke career, I'll buy another copy to replace my lost copy, which replaced the VHS copies that are sitting next to some K2 GS Races in a Tahoe closet. Then, a father-son session will commence.

[butterscotch]

wow. bummer.

does one of those films have the crazy Bridger Bowl segment with the grandmother throwing backflips and stuff? Or was that an acid flashback? Either way, I'm in.

[passholer]

p.m. sent. get well

[iceman]

Damn, man. Sorry to hear that. But you gotta at least get up to speed with Paypal, I have every good intention in the world but if I have to look for my checkbook...shiiiit. By the time I find it I won't remember why I was looking for it.

Heal up good and let Dad come up for air every once in a while. I'll go look for that checkbook now...

[montanaskier]

get well dood!

[T-Boz]

That sucks, get well soon. Where exactly on Granite did this happen? So we know to avoid the cursed area.

[huckasoreass]

wow. bummer.

does one of those films have the crazy Bridger Bowl segment with the grandmother throwing backflips and stuff? Or was that an acid flashback? Either way, I'm in.

Yep. Bunny G rips up Bridger Bowl and a little BC in 1999.

[grskier]

If I can find the check book....

[goran]

If we do paypal through the squallywood site (the DVD+book combo, for instance), does that get the money to you?

[Dantheman]

Yeah man, if there was a paypal address the money would already be there. I'll be writing a check though.

You should use this as an opportunity to take over more of the editing, I've always liked the segments that had your touch the most.

[The Dad]

Bump because 1999 is still my favorite ski flick ever.

[runethechamp]

I guess I would have to see if I could find use for another copy, on top of the 1 vhs copy of walls, 2 vhs copies of 1999, 1 copy of the dvd that lives in norway now and the one I have at home that you brought to the movie show a year and a half ago. Thanks for that one btw.

Good luck with the rehab and everything.
