Rode Tyrol Saturday with Annie & Edgar, because that's the only place around that is actually still blowing snow and upkeeping their hill. They have a lot of snow still, and their parks were set up really well, one of the best setups they've had all season. They replaced the tiny drop-offbeginner jump with a really good mid-sized jump, so we were hitting that & then the smaller jump below it, and I think on only our 5th or 6th run I wrecked myself on the 1st jump.....bad. The part that really made me mad is that I wasn't even trying anything new! First I was going to try a bs shifty, then about 1/2 way into the approach I decided I'd stick with a fs shifty, and as I went off the transition I must have had a brain fart and everything went wrong, my board went over my head, I think I screamed, and I landed hard on my butt, right on the knuckle. It hurt BAAAAD!!! I've never wrecked so hard that I couldn't get up long enough to clear the landing, but man that sucker hurt! I heard Annie yell at someone not to hit the jump, so I scraped myself up as fast as I could, and as I started to ride away on my hands and butt I saw Edgar running at me and Annie with one foot unstrapped hobbling towards me, Edgar kept grabbing me trying to make me sit down but all he did was make me fall over. She said they thought I broke my arm...I didn't feel my arms, or my head hit, all I felt was my throbbing toosh! It felt like my tailbone got pushed to the side. I finally got up and was able to hit the 2nd jump, but after that it really hurt to move my legs so I was pretty much done jumping. I did try to hit the small jump 2 more times and sat down, on the same sore spot of course. I had to take off Sunday & 2 days later it still hurts pretty bad. I was afraid I might have cracked something, but I think I would be in a lot more pain. Long as I'm all better by Friday, because that's when we leave for COLORADO BABY!!!!! 8 days in Breck coming up! I can't think of a better place to be when I hit my 50-day goal :-D
