Replying to My Friend Totally Fucked his Whole Season Today(short story)
Well, no more ski season for my friend. FIrst day up he fucked himself. FIrst, I'll give you a little prologue.
So last season, ski patrol set up one of those bamboo cross things on the downside of a nole(sp) on a mogul run. So we spent numerous runs airing over this thing, doing stupid grabs and cross-taps and such. We each jumped it at least 5 times each.
Well one of my friends showed up, aired over it, and somehow managed to land, twist his leg, and snap his leg over the top of his boot. Imagine that for a second. Now this was a week before the end of the season so if your gonna break your leg, that was a pretty good time to do it.
I should also point out that although he is a fairly competent skier, he weighed 125-130ish at the time and kept his DIN at 13 despite my warnings.
Back to the story...
My friend went up skiing for the first time this season. All week long loveland hasn't gotten any snow, so despite 8-12 inches last sunday (that is if you risked a $1000 fine by cutting the ropes), today was gonna be an icy bitch.
I told him there were absolutely no substantial jumps or anything, just a couple tiny tiny little kickers to mess around on. After that, he told me he was going to pull a five his first day up.
So basically, he hit this unbelievably tiny jump, tried for a three, didn't make it, twisted his leg and broke it AGAIN. exact same place, same break after 5 and a half months of healing. I'm not sure if he turned his DIN down like I said he should or not.
That makes the third ambulance ride to Denver from loveland that his parents have had to pay in the last three seasons. I figured out the cost before and it ended up being something ludicrous like $30-50 every mile.
He also bought some brand new pipe cleaners for this season, not even mounted yet.
TO sum up:
friend broke leg last season.
rebroke it first day this season.
Sucks to be him.
He bought some brand new pipe cleaners for this season, not even mounted yet, and he never got to ski on them.
