Philpug Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 This was not intended but...I might not make it to Blue as I promised. Another Bear goes down. I will uphold my end of the bet, it just might not be this season. Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Awww. Hope your knee gets soon as quick as possible so you can get back on the slopes! Quote
toast21602 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 oh man that sucks. especially because conditions are going to be EPIC this weekend... Quote
Philpug Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Posted January 30, 2007 I know...I ain't all too happy about it. I was supposed to be back at Kton this weekend and MRG the following. I have Steamboat booked for March 3-10 too. Quote
stever2003 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Read your post on epicski...that's rough. It's a good sign that you can walk on it. I had a similar injury 2 years ago, I partially tore my MCL 2 nights before Christmas. I was able to ski at Blue again by early March. Since your injury happened about a month later than mine (in the season) hopefully you'll recover for the end of the season. Good luck. Quote
skifreak Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 That sucks Phil, I hope it is not going to ruin your season. Quote

method9455 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 Good luck with that. Do you know when you'll find out for sure? If its bad and they say no more skiing just switch to snowboarding - a lot less work for your knees. My girlfriend and my other friend have torn their meniscus and they ride with a brace and have no problems on steeps/jumps/rails anything - snowboarding is way safer for lower body injuries. Quote

No snowboarding for Phil, I blew out my ankle boarding...two screws in it. Quote
method9455 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 No snowboarding for Phil, I blew out my ankle boarding...two screws in it. Ouch I've never run into someone who did that before. Did the boots fit right? I usually find it really hard to hurt myself below the waist, it is usually head/arm/shoulder injuries. Quote

Most doctors are like car mechanics----they get paid to fix something. Shake it off, bro. Anything you can ski away from wasn't that bad. Quote
meggles Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) ^HAHA im pretty sure youre kidding but just in case you arent you all remember my thread about my knee. i told myself to suck it the hell up and i just made it worse. get an mri asap man idk how local you are but if you live near downingtown definitely check out Advanced Orthopedics (Dr. Lyons and Dr. Manta) in downingtown Edited February 1, 2007 by k2fujative Quote
Stevo Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 - snowboarding is way safer for lower body injuries. Especially for your balls.. and the general groin area. Quote
method9455 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Especially for your balls.. and the general groin area. Actually thats the only reason I switched to snowboarding. I was doing park skiing before twin tips were really out, and I nutted myself on a rail and after I got up after the pain I said FUCK THIS i will never do a sport where you can get nutted again. And that was my last day on skis. It scares me skateboarding but I'm not doing rails that are high enough to get nutted on. Ironically enough I did once get semi-nutted snowboarding, one of those death cookies popped up from my toe edge and hit me right next to the balls and it was a near nutting experiance without ever falling. I had a welt like I was hit with a paintball so glad it missed. Quote
DHarrisburg Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 You can still nut yourself on a snowboard :/ Quote
AtomicSkier Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 holy shit i've been to those doctors want a cookie? Quote
Philpug Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Posted February 6, 2007 I saw on Epicski that Phils injury isn't that bad so I guess we'll see him at Blue later this month or in March..I can't wait to ski with Philpugilese.. You should know you should't believe everything you read on the internet. Quote
