yep did it last season, it took awhile before I could fall on it with out it hurtin like a bitch again. Its still swollen on me tho so Im thinkin it stays like that for a few years, but it acts like padding now so its alright.

theres this nice rail but the beginning its fucked up so little that you cant even see it. theres a peice of metal there. So Id hit the rail and then my ski would get caught and come off and i dont know it and im slidding like 3 feet without a ski and fall. Other times both skis would come off and i land on the rail very hard

i didn't feel like jumping onto a rail skiing up switch once, and then tore my ACL because i didn't make an effort to get my ski above the rail lip

i heard my knee pop with head phones on, and then screamed like a little bitch

You can get padded shorts pretty easily at a motocross store or something, and some ski companies sell them.

It's what happens when you expect there to be resistance, so you lean back, and get owned. I know this, and it still happens to me almost every time. My park skillz... not so 1337.

they seem to be making some nice protection, their best line are the cross protectors. What do you guys think about these?
