Heavenly Trip 4

Not such a good success as the first 3 outings. We had an injury on this trip. Although it wasn't fatal, it did result in some urgent care by professionals. Here's what happened: Jerod and I had been cruising off some sweet jumps and having a blast for about an hour and a half (Here's a video of me jumping And Jerod Jumping). So, I went down next to a jump to take some pictures of Jerod coming over and getting air. On his descent he got a little off balance and the nose of his board caught the snow causing him to rollish forward and land on his shoulder with his 200+ pounds of meat. The result was a separated ACL (I think that's what it's called). There are 3 ligaments holding the bones together and 2 have been torn. The good thing is that one stayed; except it is the one that doctors have no idea why it's on our body as it serves no function! I told Jerod God put it there so our arms don't just fall of if we tear the other two ligaments. Anyways, here's the sequence of pics of the jump and the fall that resulted in his injury. OH, on the plus side he feared that surgery was going to be needed but the surgeon said that around 90% of these injuries heal on their own.
