I'm waiting on my wrists to heal right now too.  Probably gonna take a couple weeks, but I guess it beats landing on my face and spraining my neck.

Need them to heal so I can start working out....

Thanks for that.  It's pretty much as I thought tbh, which is a good sign! 
 
elsnowboardo, the SC joint dislocation you had is pretty rare, it's usually the AC joint, at the other end of the collar bone, that tends to get dislocated.  Several of my players have suffered from it.  No SC joints yet though.

I did the AC a couple years ago, still have the massive bump from my collar bone sticking up, but as we know that isnt ever going to go away.

Landed really hard on my right ass/hip on the hardpack-michigan-ice coming off a table top. SERIOUSLY pissed off whatever muscles keep your hip where it should be. Bothered me for a little over a month then came back 6 months later to haunt me during a softball game.

Other than that just basic tweaks on the knee, ankle, and wrists. Ohhh the wrists......

Been boarding for 5 years, about 25 times a year. I think thats pretty good for never being out of michigan... The ice is punishing.....
