T. Whit

I don't mind kids and beginners falling leaf down blacks. When I was first starting my parents took me down a couple blacks, needless to say I had fun getting a little taste of the steep stuff that young. I don't have a problem with waiting for them to get down to the bottom or finding another run and coming back later. There's plenty of mountain for everyone. Well at least on the west coast. I'm sure the east is a lot more crowded and a different mindset.

Yea. I plan on doing a lot of wakeboarding this summer to help my leg get used to boarding. And no, my last name is Whitaker :).

Yes he is.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words. The way I broke it was kind of a freak break. I was on the second to last gate in a GS course so I was in my tuck going as fast as I could. Somehow I caught an edge or something dont really remember, but I was facing up the hill than my board just caught in the snow and I didn't slide. So my ankles/legs took all of the force going from 50mph (well I don't eally know how fast exactly, but I was going rreally fast) to 0 in a second. And the break happened inside my skiboot. Because it was in my skiboot the bones didn't really have a chance to move around too much so the doctor said I should be good without surgery and just a cast. But they have to xray it again soon to make sure I don't need it. I'll look into the season pass deal too. Thanks alot for the suggestions. And I can't bear to think of how bad it must've been for albert. Ouch. Good to hear he's up and running now though. Once again, thanks for all the helpful comments.

Broke my tib fib 2 weeks ago in my high school race and have been in a splint since because of my stupid insurance company not getting me a referral and then the doctor not being able to get me in for so late. So I'm not in a cast yet. This thing ****ing sucks. It's hard to sleep. Having to hobble around on these ****ing crutches are annoying, not to mention my school campus is kinda big and my classes just happen to be so spread out. I can't stop myself from coming back to this site and it just reminds me of how my season is over and how much of a waste of 2 season passes it was. And I see snowboarding everywhere with my friends going up on the weekends and the X games and my team is doing pretty well at the races and I'm pissed I'm not gonna be a part of that to help us win the league banner. Well sorry for those of you that had to read this rant. I'm sure the last thing you want to see on here is a little 16 year old punk ranting and being all depressed-like on here. Not to mention I'm sure there's people out there who have it alot worse off than me. I'm not trying to come off as if the world is gonna end for me. But I haven't expressed my feelings on all of this to anyone else and hopefully this will help me get through it. Hope everyone else out there is having a great (and safe) season.

Hey do you still have these? I'm interested.

Do you still have these? Could you post some pics, or send them to tmwhtkr(a)gmail.com?

Explosives.

Generally I spend more riding than gear. But this year, I think gear wins.

I've had mine ordered since March. Where's my free stuff?! :D
