Hence the advice to use wrist protectors and helmets, which I see a lot of boarders doing these days. Whether or not they are also wearing bum protectors I do not know....
The quote about "young, aggressive, testosterone-dripping males" by Dr Sydney McKnight suggests he might not be a very good "family doctor ". Young males are by definition testosterone-dripping and aggressive.
And charming, and noisy, and funny, and bloody annoying, and so was I when I was "young" (though maybe not charming).

I am no longer young and testosterone dripping... but am the proud owner of a fine beast wig... one or two grey hairs included.
Dr Knight's attitude reminds me of a doc we saw in Andorra last year. Getting a friends ribs x-rayed. The way the guy looked at us and all board/ski casualties yah think we were doin it on purpose. Probably a very well off man from us snow peeps.
Anyone else ever come across that kind of 'not another skier' attitude ?

Who cares if they get injured!?
They impress us girlies and thats why we sit all day just watching them.
Skiers doing jumps etc is just sad

Admin! Help! Another request. Can we have a translation service please?

Well its quite straight forward really.
A Faceplant.......
A Riggor (Mortis.....like a corpse being chucked off something)
& a real life 9ft Hut......Not Jabba!
Looked quality!
Oh forgot to mention he was a skier........(Ok a boarder did it aswell!)

Nosha did the riggors. Jimmy the ski guide was guilty of tremedous faceplants off the hut. Everyone else landed flat before bailing (purely for the camera as proper landings are boring!!)
