A week ago today SBOL Team II rider Mike Ponessa was in a 4 wheeler accident and fractured his pelvis. He's healing quickly and has already gotten back on his feet without crutches.

That sucks. Aslong as you can still put on skiboots and go this season though right? I broke my leg early this summer. A spiral racture of the lower Fibula(spelling is deff off but who cares) ive had 2 surgarys on it so far. 1st one to put 9 screws+ a 7" metal plate along the bone. And 2nd one to take out 1 of the screws and I still got one more to go! Keep your headup though because as of today I just got a job at a ski house 10 minutes from my house. I make mucho money, get free gear and best of all free season passes to all mountains in New England. and i thought skiing would be done for me... It'll all work out. Feel betta' Peace.

I broke my leg trying a huge double on my bmx bike. I had done it a few times before and pulled some smaller tricks like no handers or can-can's but iw anted to go bigger. I did a no-hander to no footer. When I started the no hander I pulled on one side of the handlebar by accident and it made my bike dip. I tried to rebalance but I couldnt. I put my foot down on the landing and my leg from mid shin turned 140 degrees so I'm told. Now I got a plate in there so it is twice as strong for ski/board season. Within last 4 years I have broken the end of my elbow off ( 2 pins repositioning cap), had a compound fracture of my arm, dislocated my thumb 2 times, my should once, and my small finger. And now I broke my leg. But it won't stop me. I just started working at a ski house in CT. And now I got free season passes to all mountains in New England. I'm going atelast 4 times a week and I can't wait. And trust me it won't make me any more fearful on attempting tricks this year. My Snowbaord goal is a backside 720, and my skiboard goal is a cork-540. If you want to talk anymroe feel free to messege me on AIM my s/n isn't 2 hard.... I Can 900 sorry about that ribs, I cracked one of mine it bites
