Last night with severe neck, chest and back pain. We had the day off of class yesterday so me and a friend of mine with snowboarding like we do every week, we have season passes. And I was hitting the bottom right booter (45ft) and overshot it by about 15 feet, and landed 3/4 of the way down the landing. I fell from about 17 feet up and cratered in the landing. It was weird because I had been hitting it all day practicing front side 3's and was sticking them perfect, and the last hit before we left I was just going to straight air it, and didn't speed check after the second roller. The snow had gotten a lot faster by this time, we took about an hour break from the park, and went back up for one more line before we left, and I just hit it WAY too fast. I knew I was doomed from the moment i took off the lip. Cleared the table, over the knuckle, and kept going lol. By the time I hit the ground my body was completely stretched out, and I just couldn't absorb the impact and crumpled, caught my heel edge, and flipped head over heal about 4 times and slid to a stop. I got up and rode away, but collapsed about 50 feet later. Then comes ski patrol and all that fun stuff, and next thing you know I'm in a neck brace at Cinci Childrens where my friends mom is a nurse, and she got me in right away, and then I spent the night there. I ended up getting a moderate concussion, lots of bruising and a BA headache. Moral of the story, always do a speed check or two if you come back to somewhere, and the snow has gotten faster. Cratering sucks.
 
what's cratering? you must be tough to have survived that lol

Coming down and just crumpling into the ground lol, and bouncing. I bounced like a basketball for a few seconds, it was kinda fun. I've taken some pretty hard falls, but this one was probably the hardest.
 
Ouch!!!! I hope you get to feel much better real soon. I am guessing we'll see you much more on MFK for the next few days while your resting and recovering.
