I have to say it's fair. I grew up there and left for Colorado when I was 20. When I go back ALL my friends and family do is go to the pub or crack open a tin at home. When they come visit me here my friends here can't keep up with their alcohol tolerance. Fraid to say that the Brits drink a lot....whether it is too much is a different issue.

I would be interested to know how that goes. I opted to leave mine for the last 5 years because I was fearful of the downtime of rehab after the surgery. Thanks!

I trashed into a tree Snowboarding in 2002. I shattered my femur, broke both wrists and a few ribs. I was happy to be alive so no complaints. I got emergency surgery and a rod was placed inside my feumr. Because it was shattered (an inch or so missing) I couldn't bear weight for 6 weeks, I just hopped a lot. I was told I wouldn't walk without a limp, would never run again and skydiving was out of the question. I think they tell you that stuff to make you mad and work hard against them. I was walking in 6 weeks and crossed the Grand Canyon in 12 hours within 5 months. Running ain't what it used to be but I can still get the miles in. I was snowboarding again next season. The theory about not jumping was that I *could* bend the rod and might need amputation. Well I figure anything that's going to bend that rod is going to do some other damage so I took up jumping again last year. Best advice is work hard at rehab but DON'T get excited and come back too fast, you will injure yourself. That being said everyone comes back to quick and relapses. Good luck.

If it's not the weather then it's the plane, and then the pocket book... but it all wrks out.

I can't find no boogies coming up in Colorado to get all excited about....what's the secret?

I am off to Vegas next week for a conference and want to jump a few times. All I hear is jump Mesquite.....it is worth the drive...it's an hour away or so isn't it? Whats the attraction?
