Other Injuries Due to Riding a Stand Up..

[Armored snuffy]

Two broken ribs and bilateral dislocated cartilage - landed on the ski. Looking at motocross chest protectors now...

About a week ago I broke two ribs and punctured a lung. I was attempting a backflip off a double wake and the ski shot out of my hands. It continued about 15 feet in the air and completed the rotation and then came back down and hit me in the chest. Two nights in the hospital.

Jeez. Groin injuries hurt the most to read.

Not so much of an injury as an annoyance. Anyone get carpel tunnel like pain from their finger throttle? To the point it hurts to ride.

Looking at changing to a different design, just not certain which.

I've gotten carpel tunnel from riding a 550 sx with a thumb throttle everyday for a season it really is annoying.

Last weekend I went for a back flip off of a boat wake and I got halfway around with only a front foothold and my dick caught the ski via handlepole. And then abruptly knocked the wind out of me. It was a double whammy.

I am currently running a sharkfab? that came on my old ski. Thinking about a new Blowsion with a ATP throttle drum to help.

I decided to ride a ski I just installed footholds in without any turf installed. I was being pretty good until I fell off and tried to mount on it again but a wave caught it an rammed the tray into my shin... just a contusion but was black,blue and sore for a couple weeks.
Lesson learned.

Lanyard to the right nut this weekend when I bailed from an halfass attempted barrel roll. Rushed into shore to drop trousers in the shed while 60 friends and family waited outside. After afew drinks, and icing I decided to go to the hospital and get checked out. After three hours waiting I decided to head back to the party and have some more drinks. Luckily the swelling went down over night and all is well.

Wetsuits from now on when trying new things.

Distal radias fracture in daytona freeride this year came out of footholds doing a nose stab, held on, and came crashing down with all my weight on top of me. Bent rrp fat bars and had 9 screws and plate now. Stilll no riding

Slit went all the way to middle of chin. I have been lucky that the only injury other than a couple bruses

i think it was 2007 when i was learning rolls on my SXR, my feet kept coming out and i hit the ski in the same spot like 5 times. it cut the muscle in half and now i have a dent in my leg. i missed one weekend from skiing and doing rolls but it hurt like hell to have that leg slap the water on a 3/4 complete rolls. there are a couple marble size blood clots floating around in there, but i dont even know its there unless i look. i can still squat 405 , but i did squat 500 before this.i dont think this is why my #s went down. the lesson to be learned here, is make damn sure your feet are nailed in if you are getting air.

3 broken ribs, radius broken into 3 pieces and sticking out thru the skin, crushed elbow, and a separated shoulder.
Failed 180 off a boat wake (fouling a sparkplug) going waaay too fast, and my buddies thought I waved goodbye and went fishing leaving me to bob and bleed! 3 ambulances, with a free airplane sent to get me, 12 hours to get back to civilized hospital.

Rolled ankle that twisted my knee and my hip, I'm still recovering from that one - 8 weeks and still not ready to run (but I've been out riding)... one piece of advice - stay in shape fellas, stay in shape.
