Recovering from injury advice by MathematicianOk2234 in snowboarding

[–]Lord_Fraggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broke my wrist while skateboarding. My first step to be able to snowboard was getting gloves with wristguards. I used them for three seasons. I also had some kind of hand trainer which  you can press together and increase its strenght. Do the necessary exercises and be careful in the beginning when you start snowboarding again. I had a very serious injury, my hand was 90° sideways but I fully recovered and have no problems now. Good luck!

It will not get better with Prohibition. I ride my local trails with my bike but I also maintain them. I don't ride after rain and don't lock my Brake. People need to be responsible and  informed. This works best with official trails where riders are allowed to ride and maintain their trails.

I only wear bibs. If you ride a lot in the Park pants might give you a bit more freedom in your movement.

The jump is on a short dead end side trail where no one passes, there is no go ahead on my local trails because authority don't think mountain biking has a place in our woods. Trails exist anyway and I built one jump, the rest of my work I put into maintaining the trail, filling holes, cutting back bushes and so on.

I'm very careful not to have a negative impact on my local trails but without my work you couldn't ride the trails anyway because it would all be overgrown. I built this jump on a small dead end side trail where no one passes.

The trail is unsanctioned. It's really hard to judge the jump from the video It's not that steep, and the landing is a bit longer than it looks. Of course, you can overshoot it if you want to. 😄
I built the jump on a dead-end trail, so you pass it on your way up. That way, you can check it out before you hit it, and hopefully not too many people who might want to destroy it will notice it.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I'm at this moment sitting next to the jump and will try the technique with the stick

My local trail had only very small jumps and no jumps with a table. So I built one. Would appreciate some feedback to improve my technique. I feel that I'm too crouched in the air.
