Gcarve Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm so bummed to hear about your injury Theo! That sucks! What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Tat Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Ditto. Also seriously bummed to hear that. Hope you heal up well. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Terribly sorry to hear this Theo. Let us know how we can help. Especially those that have been through it. Start the stool softners NOW!! The good news is you are young!! Get some arm crutches along with the normal ones. Especially if you have stairs to deal with. Did you have surgery? Nail? Watch the weight, eat really well/ much less volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Start the stool softners NOW!!lactulose. it should be mixed in with codiene by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Theo, do you have a good "Easy Chair" ?? DVD player? Perhaps some of the box sets of DVDs will now come in handy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 No easy chair, but I happen to live in a handicap room so that works out well. Thanks everyone for the kind words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Dude! I will be up this weekend, just let me know if I need to do a soda run for you. (as you are not allowed to drink....legally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Prokopiw Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sorry to read of your injury, Theo. Like Bryan said ,it's good that you're young,though boredom is probably worse at your age;or maybe not, since I didn't have video games when I broke my heel at your age ;-) Was it a fluke/mishap or in a blaze of glory?

KingCrimson Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Thanks guys. It wasn't even a crash, just bad chatter at mach one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Must have been more like Mach-90 as we always called it. A skier friend and local at Mammoth said he had been seeing a tall/goofy footed Hardbooter slaying stump alley all season. Thanks for pushing it Theo. not enough aggressive riders around. Just throttle it back every now and again. At least you will have the dampest right leg out there with all that new titanium/ to quote you from earlier today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullwings Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Damn, sucks to hear. Heal up quick - I hope they give/gave you good meds. A few of us have been there. Mammoth is a great place to break your leg though (if i had to pick breaking my leg). The orthopaedic docs there really know how put things back together. And, as stated earlier, Watch your diet while you're down - I gained about 20lbs (165lbs. - heaviest ever in my life). Based on this timing, you should be back and ready for next season. It's also not the worst thing - I can honestly say, at the end of the day, it made me a better rider (although once is enough - I don't need repeat lessons). Anyway, best of luck to you, and try to stay positive - it definitely helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Theo, very bummed to hear about the leg. Ill be up over presidents weekend, let me know if you want any comfort or need items from the southland. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeS Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 So sorry to hear this Theo. Hope you heal up fast. I'll 2nd the good meds. What's up with Mammoth and Tib/Fib fractures? Anyway, it was fun trying to keep up with you back in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hey everyone, thanks for the posts. Ill reply to em when im on my computer. I just wanted to check in and let everyone know I can now stand freely. Obviously with most of my weight on my good leg, but Im making progress. No takers on my gear? I've been trying to get most of my gear loaned out, its sad to have it here when it needs to get ridden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get most of my gear loaned out, its sad to have it here when it needs to get ridden! This is great news!! Standing on it already? Damn. I was on a strict "No weight bearing" for 8 weeks. Being young and strong are no doubt factors. Thanks for the update!! Keep up the great attitude too.

Gcarve Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm glad to hear things are going well, all things considered. Maybe you'll be able to be back on the mountain by the end of this season? Oh, and thanks for the great pics you took of me recently!

KingCrimson Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm hoping by like may or so i can at least go out and slide around and at least take pictures. it would be devastating to get hit though. and I'm not REALLY supposed to do anything till august Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeseomatic Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Are the sidewinders still up for loan? I would like to try them if they have yellow pads and rings. I have SWs that I just bought but are full stiff red/blue but are a whole lot more flexy than my Catek OS2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCrimson Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Hey Joe, I run blues all around. I'm a very aggressive rider (too aggressive?) and find them to be laterally quite soft. To some degree I would rather have the TD2 bail towers on a TD3 baseplate and e-ring. The TD2 towers in my experience are considerably softer laterally than the TD3 ones. My blue rings will help out a bit with the feel if you want to borrow those. Next time you're up in Mammoth you're more than welcome to borrow them while you're up here. Here's my latest update..cross posted from the AIL list 2 weeks later, here's how I'm getting along. The fib apparently will heal correctly and straight thanks to the ligaments, it is only misaligned from sitting on the hard table and isn't a problem. It moves and clicks and pops, pretty fun to play with and surprisingly painless.

breeseomatic Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hey Theo, I'll be on the mountain this weekend, I'll send you an email so we can exchange contact info. I ordered yellow e-rings and yellow e-pads and they should be at my door tomorrow (crossing fingers). I'd still like to try out the blue pads one day to experience the difference in each setup. I'm a pretty easy going carver, no craziness or EC stuff (yet). I'm hoping that the softer pads will help absorb some of the chop that develops mid day and I can ride one board all day long. We'll see. I was talked into taking my carving board down Cornice bowl last weekend. I shoveled all the snow from the top to the bottom, and then St Anton was all clumpy.

KingCrimson Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Cornice is REALLY fun to carve in the morning after it's been groomed on a poppy old school GS board. Airborne transitions that just float you forever. It's fun on metal too but not quite as wild. I am not in Mammoth right now unfortunately. I wish I was but it looks like I'm stuck down here for like two weeks. I'll keep you posted if that changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeseomatic Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 No worries, I need a solid day on my yellow pads and then I'm switching to the red ones and back to yellow for comparison. Hopefully everything with your leg works out for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
