 USASA Injuries from Snowboarding Slopestyle
We couldn't help but notice the young athletes on crutches and in casts when we went to USASA Nationals to compete, in Spring 2010. Here we catch up with 6 of them and ask them about what happened. All the injured snowboarders hurt themselves competing or practicing for the slopesyle events, either at Nationals or earlier in the season. Meet Sarah from Sunday River with her broken wrist, Katie Pool with a broken heel, Hunter Murphy of MN with a broken ankle, Catie Cook from Aspen with her torn ACL and hole in her meniscus, Thomas O'Hara from NJ with his chipped kneecap, Meghan Tierney from NJ healing from her broken tibia and fibula, and Carter Smalley from CO with his torn MCL. Reporting and video by Lauren Traub Teton, exclusive for SnowboardSecrets.TV.

 Snowboard Protective Gear in Action - Azzpadz
Lauren's 2nd halfpipe run at USASA Nationals at Copper Mountain, CO 2010 resulted in her going higher and faster than ever, and than she was prepared for. See her catch an edge on the right hand wall and go down in this snowboard accident, landing hard on her hip and tailbone, but able to walk away from the snowboard crash because she was wearing Azzpadz Tailbone Protector along with her Flexmeter Snowboard Wrist Guards. Both available at www.Flexmeters.com. Thanks also to sponsors Turbine Boardwear for the hot cool jacket and pants, Flow for the bindings, and Launch Snowboards. |
