The best news is.. I found water in my foam. So this gives me ample time to resurface the bottom of the ski, shorten the hull a few inches, refoam the tray, install some bob adjustable footholds, front toe hold, reinforce the nose and paint the ski... So I guess it worked out..

Wow so many injuries. I think im basically indestructible. I jet ski, ride sport bikes and did MX as a kid. I've only had one injury, a partially torn tendon in my shoulder when I crashed a dirt bike. Not even enough to get me out of work. Worse I got jet skiing was bruised ankles and a couple times I had to curse the pain away. I landed a few times on top of the Superjet.. I know newb mistake to let go. Hm, after rereading this post I think I need to knock on wood, it seems to have worked all these years.

Just remembered this post. Wow! I said this back in September. I think I should've went to knock on wood I seriously jinxed myself there. See a few threads down about my motorcycle crash. Oops :lmao: I think I should stop telling people nothing can kill me!

Haven't thought about this in years but here we go...1993 i was with bro and a friend riding our three 550s. We where using a stick in about 4' of water as a buoy to race around. We all drag raced about 300' then I was leading put down a leg to turn around the stick and race back when one of the guys hit me in the chest full speed. I immediately was knocked out. My brother held me up from drowning while the other guy went to call 911. The firemen rescued me by boat and I was pounced dead in the ambulance but brought back in the emergency room. I woke up days later with all my ribs broken in 39 places and pieces of rib in my heart, spleen, lungs and liver. I had a breathing tube for about a month and several surgeries but made a long full recovery and rode again at the end of the same summer. Every doctor and nurse would say " you will never ride again" but I was on a mission to prove everyone wrong and later ended up racing snow-x for years as well. I'm 43 now and can't imagine not riding and enjoying all of my hobbies epically with my kids.

Torn rotator cup. Busted ear drum. Lots of sprains and bruises and a broken leg from a guy that ran over me with his couch.

I think that it actually makes it a little more intriguing that there is a real risk of danger. Let's face it we are all wired a little different any way. I get nothing from a roller coaster mostly because I know it's a controlled environment. I had taken a few years off riding skis ( mostly due to kids and time) and we showed up at Daytina 8 years ago I had a superjet went out for 5 seconds and Pancake Pete went HUGE about 10' from me and fell off. I helped him back to his ski and was instantly hooked again. You just can't dwell on the injury thing or you will never help the sport progress.
