Replying to Bobble's point about him seeing me laying there and getting thrashed by the hockey helmet guy during the boardercross race. I do have to say that Buck hill does have a very friendly Ski Patrol staff who is willing to lend out some free bandades and nice cold ice packs. Let's just say I don't look as pretty as I did before it happened. The whole reason I was down was because the guy who was in 3rd place clipped my board on the landing of the jump, lost my balance and went down into the berm. Well, that's boardercross for you.
I kind of blame myself for having a badly bruised cheekbone for not wearing my full face helmet because "it was too hot". I guess I will never second guess myself again.
All I want to know is if I looked like a tough guy getting up and brushing it off and still riding down the course???
