Battle Wounds - DUDE, YOU GOT BLOOD ON YOUR FACE

2/21 - So it’s near the end of my day at Blue Mountain, Ontario and I (tired, but bold) decide to frontside boardslide a double kinked rail. From the approach it looks really innocent. It wasn’t until I got on it, that I realized I was leaning too forward and felt my feet slip out from under me. I believe my face connected with the rail after that. I came to, grabbed my goggles and toque that dislodged from my head upon impact, and rode down to the lodge to shake off the buzz in my head.

When I saw my friends, they some something like, "Dude, you got blood on your face". By then I had no idea what had just happened, but wiping my glove on my face convinced me that I definitely had messed something up and that I needed first aid.

The doc said: "You're damn lucky for an unlucky kid. You didn't break your nose, jaw, or eye socket.” Apparantly my cheek, chin, and brow injuries were “lucky”. He went on to say: “You’re going to get a scar on that cheek, but the girls love that!”
