First day on my new board I clipped a rail resulting in a frontflip to smashed nose of my board to sprained wrist. On film too

I had been hitting this mellow gap from a cat track into a roughly 50 ft slope and airing it pretty solid throughout the day. After not hitting it for a few hours we  came back in the afternoon and didn't realize since the sun had moved it was in the shade and the landing was incredibly hard now… Had been hitting smaller back 3's earlier in the day and I was like fuck it I'm boosting this shit, went for it, landed directly on my head. Thought my neck was broke and then I proceeded to slide down the rest of the landing with my flannel pulled up and sustained some gnarly road rash. My whole side basically looked like hamburger meat and my neck still clicks when I move it to the side.

Been riding 5 years and never had an injury keep me off my board until this one…..

Once upon a time, riding on a pow night @ Seymour at the end of March. Decided to duck a rope and do a tree run where there were no lights for one last run before the sun set completely….3/4's through the run, going down a steep part, lost my turn and started a slow horizontal helicopter spin through the air. As i was coming around i saw that i was either going to hit A) the abundance of fresh pow in front of me. or B) one small but strong-ass, narrow tree. Sure enough i wrapped my left knee around the tree about 90degrees to the left, and rebounded off of the tree…..not wanting to get my pass cut, we didnt call First Aid so my buddy helped drag me out of the trees for an hour, of what should have been a 30 second ride out………………A torn ACL, MCL, and who knows what else later, i finally just got off the crutches and took off my knee brace. Its been about 6 weeks and i have about 30 degrees of bendage in the knee, and the thing is still swole as F. Gettin an MRI next week. Hoping for the best, wish me luck dudes i want to be able to ride again :(
