jumps

We’re Even Now Stop

We had a great day at Keystone today. The drive up was a little slow and icy in one spot, and the drive back was a total cakewalk.

I got to work on jumps (those should have air quotes) and even caught some air today. Granted,  it was only like a foot,  but it FELT like I was up there and up there forever. I’d show you but we had a camera malfunction.  Next time we go up it’ll be for a couple days so there will be proof.

I felt pretty good until we got home and I tried to get out of the car. It was at that point that my legs decided to flip me off. I mean, it makes total sense to do legs and back on Friday morning then ride for 3 hours on Saturday and think I won’t be in pain, right?  Riiiiiight.

Oh, right. Pain. And the title. Today, I once again ate shit on the mountain. This fall took me a little bit longer to get up from. At least I didn’t hit my head this time, but I fell on my shoulder. Again. And my arm went to sleep. Again. So now that’s twice on the left and twice on the right that my arm has gone to sleep. No more. I hope.

Off to watch boxing. Have a nice night. 🙂

Balance It Out

At this very moment, if I could have anything my heart desired, it would be a never expiring prescription for Flexeril. It’s a muscle relaxant. Why would I want this? Oh, you know, to relax my poor, poor shoulders. Perhaps you recall about three weeks ago when I pretty much ate sh!t on my board. Yeah, ouch. Well, today, I evened it out and fell on the other side. While I didn’t hit the bone on this one, I managed to smack my head off the ground yet again, and this time, along with my pins and needles down the arm, I also got the awesome feeling that I had just dipped my arm in an almost hot bucket of water. Hooray! Craziest part is that the newly hurt side doesn’t hurt, but the previously hurt side hurts more – it had been healing.

As always, it wasn’t all bad. I managed to get down the rest of the jumps for the rest of the day without falling and I actually caught a little air. Baby steps, people, baby steps. AND, most fun ever, I tried out the mini-slalom course today. I’ve been watching that on the Olympics and thought to myself that I should try it. It’s like carving but on uppers. And in deep grooves later in the day. It is super fun.  So now just riding down the hill isn’t enough. I must twist and turn and jump. Woot.

Speaking of twisting and turning, this shoulder “injury” is gonna present oh so much fun tomorrow when I’m trying to spin around by one arm.

This was a long post for a Sunday AND it had a song. Win.
