At 66 I attempt to keep all the forces in balance and avoid any excesive twisting. I try to use the boards design to do most of the hard work and I still ride pretty darn aggressively. The biggest compromise I’ve made to age is that I don’t ride first chair to last like I used to years ago. I start very early and finish around 2:30. Usually best snow and fewest people. Actually, snowboarding gets me in the best shape of anything I do during the year. I will have over 30 days on my board this year.
That being said, after my knee surgery the doc told me it would only last 5 years. It’s been 20 years now and the knee feels reasonable good. Based on my personal experience, I’m a big believer in hyaluronic acid injections. I’ve gotten them in my knee every Fall for the last 20 years.
