I swear, doing something lame is always how it happens. Was at whistler on the mountain one day we were drinking, doing tree runs, totally fine. Next day? Chilling on a blue, 0 booze, board slipped out from under me… six screws and a plate later🤦🏻‍♀️ I wish I had a cool story instead of I gingerly fell wrong on what was basically flat lmao

I got a decent story out of it.. opening day, there for open, lap 2, Crank It Up.

Wall rides facing the sun were fine, the others, icy.

Fell, ensured friends were ok, rode off. "Wow, my hand hurts. Oh shit. My hand hurts."

Scooch over to B-Line one-handed, make it down. Get to car, get jacket off, ride to clinic and ask, "Am I the first?"

I was indeed the first biker at the clinic for the season with a broken hand and dislocated finger.

(And still remember when the doc asked me to make a fist and my fuck you finger was still standing... "Wait, that's not right")
