Helpless Old Man Bowled Over by Reckless Out of Control Snowboarder

Beware, snowboarders, I am one of those slow, totally uncool skiers who get in your way as you careen down the slopes at speeds you don't recognize are beyond your ability. See how I proceed so carefully down the Northridge Trail on Sugar, often looking behind me to be sure I am not turning into your path. Indeed, I am looking back with my GoPro on my head even as you hit and flip me onto my back, slamming hard enough to leave bruises on my back and a bloody gash on my nose where the camera bounced off of it. Hey, it's cool. Don't bother saying you are sorry--just dash off into the night and sleep well knowing that bruises heal, blood dries, and whiplash probably won't cause permanent damage, at least so far as you know.

Amen brother.  One thing they will say is that you make an "unexpected turn" so their option is to take you out.

No respect, I tell ya! I've been bitchin about the pesky snow board since it's inception..but I'm sure I would be one of them if I was closer to their age..I sure wish they would sell some responsibility and respect with those things tho..apparently their parents are willing to give them the equipment but not the morals. Hope you heal well my friend!
