2JG Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I was all excited about getting to go snowboarding in France last week after missing out on a trip last year. Had a great start to the first day on Monday, covered loads of terrain... and then on the last run of the day coming back to the car park... hit an ice patch followed by some of the churned up snow... catch an edge and two back flips later I land with all my weight on my left foot and the board digs into the snow... I've torn some ligaments in my left foot and twisted my ankle pretty badly, the bruising and swelling are still coming out! I ended up spending the rest of the week on the sofa watching dvd's and getting ferried to the physiotherapist, I am absolutely gutted!! Worst part of all is that I was really looking forward to the Ace Cafe meet this Wednesday and now I can't drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2JG Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 I would stick to a sledge next time Tell me about it. Funny thing is that I've taken this type of fall a few times before and come out of it unscathed, just one of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say out of all the times I've been snowboarding this is the first time I've really hurt myself. I felt more pain staying in every day watching TV knowing that my friends were out there having fun and I couldn't join them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
