re: GUTTED!!!!

Sorry to hear about that. I've been following the build up to your holiday! I cannot imagine how low your feeling.I snowboard as well, and your accident is my worst nightmare.
We're you wearing wrist supports Benn? I do, and always have, the best £17 i have ever spent. I can't advocate enough to folk about wearing protective gear, when carrying out any dangerous sport. I wear body armour, helmet, impact shorts and wrist guards, i may even wear 661 veggie knee pads if its really ...

AH benn! That's a killer mate! Sad
I'm just worrying about getting a cold before I go away, never mind breaking anything to prevent me going!
Hope you have a quick recovery mate!

On the topic of padding etc for snowboarding, I'm doing it for my first time this year, I bought the wrist supports as recommended, seem like a good buy! Do I need anything else in the way of support etc?

Very sorry to hear of your accident. After all the build up you must be gutted and it's a real shame we won't be able to hear of how much you enjoyed all the snow that eventually fell.

I normally ski but did 50/l50 with boarding one holiday. I bought wrist supports and really appreciated it as you tend to stick your arms out if you catch an edge and your wrists can take a battering. Even so, my wife managed to crack a rib going wham onto an icy slope one morning.

I think everyone ...

I think everyone feels for you Benn and wish you a speedy recovery.
