I'm planning a trip to CO this winter and it will be my first time riding there since 2000. used to go every January in college. I was pretty good from more than 15 yrs of skateboarding but nothing really intense. I could hang with my skier friends pretty well on blacks mist of the time.
But now 8 years later, I realize I better get my ass in shape, because serious injury or lack of enjoyment from getting exhausted would be awful.
Sorry to hear about your injury. I absolutely love snowboarding, best thing I've ever gotten to do in life.

I'm heading out to CO Feb 28 - March 7 for our annual ski trip. the group that goes is split pretty evenly btwn snowboarders and skiers. Personally, even though I'm a skater, I ski. I thought about trying snowboarding this year, but it's just too damn much fun getting down the mountain on my feet rather than being sore from trying to learn a new technique, falling and being frustrated all day. Maybe I'll still give it a go.

I went snowboarding once and got seriously worked. That was the only time I went. I thought since I was good at skateboarding it would be no problem. I was wrong.
Man I wish I could go skateboarding ) :

ew i'm so sorry - sounds (and looks) painful
worst I did growing up with flip over the handle bars of my bike and break my right wrist on a diagonal. they had to wait 3 days for the swelling to go down before they could set it and put pins in my wrist for 3 months - needless to say, i don't remember those three days

You're doing it wrong! JK.
I had a broken pelvis with external halo and a compound leg fracture from a bike accident (never try and stop a van going 50mph with a road bike) years ago and I still snowboard 10+ times a year.
No parks and/or huge gaps like I did when I was a kid but I was never that great doing that anyway. Now it's only steeps and deeps and wide turns. Get back on the sled when you can, you have it in your blood!

I don't understand how people injure themselves snowboarding. skiing, sure, your legs can twist around. but snowboarding if you fall you fall in one direction and in soft snow. what gives?

DUDE! wtf man? You can't let a little injury or two stop you from riding. I feelz ya though - I seem to break ALOT of bones and everything else out there - i don't think i could give it up though. I currently have a broken collarbone and can't wait to get back on the mountain!!
Get Well Soon! Ride or Die
