fractured wrist snowboarding
i bought a new the battalion jam snowboard which was great on the
first day of boarding in switzerland. On my second day i was tired and my first run fell backwards and fractured my wrist. the good news is it was very mild and should take four weeks to heal. the swiss doc charged me 700 swiss francs, or 450 pound or 55,000 yen. i paid in pounds. just for a cast thing and x-rays. anyone fractured their wrist any advice? i wanted to go on a beach vacation on feb 24th. hope this sorts itself out. maybe i should get my board de-tuned. |

Took 6 weeks before the cast came off, but on the 5th week I went snowboarding. Figured it was stronger with the cast on than the following week with the cast off. Doctor wasn't too happy, but he didn't say I should not go. The only thing with a beach holiday is that you need to keep the cast clean and dry. Sand and sea don't exactly help in that regard. maybe i should get my board de-tuned. You slid backwards right? So that's not going to help. De-turning the board may help to prevent you catching an edge and falling forwards. Sliding out backwards is down to not having enough grip. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org.uk/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow.

It's possible to ride on near ice with good edges and good technique. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org.uk/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow.
