I am greatful for:
- helmets
- the tuck and roll instinct
- powder

Today while snowboarding I took a wipe out that I would have loved to have on tape. My friend had the luck of coming to a stop beside me just in time to watch me sail through the air "superman style" (according to him) and see the whole thing.

I was going along at a pretty decent pace along a relatively flat spot when I hit a surprise mogle and started rolling.... I hit the ground with my nose or something, bounced into the air, landed on the side of my neck, bounced again, hit the ground again, got my tip stuck in the snow and rolled sideways a few more times before coming to a stop in a somewhat mangled way.

So I laid there and iced my body in the snow for a few minutes and got on my way. Now I'm starting to find out which parts of me took the impact. Surprisingly enough I don't feel too sore just yet, but I might end up laying on the floor groaning later tonight.
