skydyvr 0 #2 February 7, 2004 The same things that can be said about skydiving . . . Don't ride beyond your experience and abilities. Be patient, and go conservatively until you feel good about what you are trying to do. Master the small air tricks before you go big. . . =(_8^(1) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YellowDog 0 #6 February 7, 2004 Quote....if anyone out there can offer me some good advice Some suggestions: Time to pick up a few good books or get some practice on your X-box. Do what your doctors tell you to do. Get whatever exercise you can, both physically and mentally. Try to exceed your physical therapy goals. Learn a new language. Drink lots of water. ...And hang in there. The planes will be ready when you are. ---> One Half of Almost Nearly Normal <--- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WrongWay 0 #8 February 7, 2004 Hey bro, I haven't met ya yet but I'm gonna be hangin up there at Tecumseh a lot this season for sure, so I'll see you around if you're hangin' out. If there's anything at all I can do to help, lemme know, okay? Take care of yourself, it'll all be good in the end, but we're here for ya until then. Edited to add: By the way, I snowboard too, and you're right, it is WAY more dangerous than skydiving. (Well, minus the low alt canopy stuff.....)

sdgregory 0 #9 February 7, 2004 Man I gave up showboarding when I shattered my wrist and coxic (sp?) bone. Heal quickly and get back in the sky where it is safer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shunkka 0 #10 February 8, 2004 i ride my board every time i can... i think like all the "extreme sports" snowboard can be SAFE as long as u know how/WHERE/and when 2 ride ur board it can be safe VIBES for u and i hope u`ll be back in the sky/snow SOON ------------------------- "jump, have fun, pull" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billymotox 0 #11 February 8, 2004 Yeah, that snowboarding seems pretty dangerous. Since you're in Tecumseh, you should take up something safe for the winter, like indoor arenacross over at Pro Source billy d------------------------- "Escape may be checked by water and land, but the air and the sky are free."
