So as the title says, anybody else out there get their first turns/hits in of the year and had something go wrong with the worst of luck or just totally random fate? Came off the first jib of the season a few days ago and landed tail heavy while washing out a shitty landing back to forwards (pivoting 90 degrees) which like pulled and twisted my calf muscle on my right leg leaving me with super painful shin splints to start the season! totally random because slightly imbalanced/sloppy landings on a normal sized jib was not a problem, ever? I'm sure theres been way more unfortunate mishaps out there though rippin the first turns of the season, makes me lucky to only have a light injury i guess to start the first few weeks on

I got a pretty minor one. But I got blood poisoning in my lag so I have a hard time standing.
(Don't know if it's called blood poisoning, I'm from Sweden)

Early season injury. Decided in a split second to ski between a pair of trees spaced 4 feet apart. Dumb move as the space between was more of a pothole. Ended up ejected out of my left ski in a somersaulting fashion. Right ski stayed on. When I landed on it I twisted my ankle. Now I'm hobbling around on crutches while I wait for the swelling to go down. Could have been worse though... At least I didn't destroy my knee. Broke my golden rule... Don't do anything stupid fast.

last monday i was trying to get a cleaner 2 on to a downrail at okemo (i already had one filmed but it was sloppy). i wasnt getting it and my attempts were getting worse every time, even falling sometimes. when i was down once, i punched the snow out of frustration. now my hand it broken in 2 places. so a great way to start out the season, hopefully i can ski with a cast.

My friend broke his clavicle 200 feet into his first run of the season. As for me broke my toe piece first run on the first day, 2nd day got a concussion on the second run, and 3rd day broke my heel piece on the 3rd run... It's been rough this season

reasons not to get mad at yourself when you ski. I can say for a fact that I have defiantly done this too, but then you'll get even more upset that you were the one that hurt yourself. now I just try to laugh it off when I fall, and come back to the trick after one or two runs. so far having a better season so far this year when it comes to frustration
