Oh alpine.


Last weekend while my sister was in town. We all headed up to park city to ride the alpine slide. I have rode down this slide many times in my life. This time didn't feel any different for previous years. We got our tickets,  sat in line which seemed like forever, got on the lift, grabbed our sleds and headed for the slides. 
As you can tell I this picture I am wearing a shirt tied around my waist... Why am I mentioning this? It comes up again later. Eventually it was mine turn to head down. When I ride the slide I rarely pull back on the breaks. I like the speed and the drops where you can get some serious air. I guess you can say I am an adrenaline junkie. Kind of. Well on my second drop I got so much air that I came off my sled. As I landed I wanted to make sure my shirt tied around my waist didn't get stuck underneath the sled. As I checked and took my eyes off the slide I hit a turn and the. I over corrected myself and flipped over. I went den on my belly for a little bit until I was able to stop, flip my sled over and hop back on to head down to the bottom. Once I got the the bottom, I looked at the damage this crash caused me. I have some burns up and down my arms, especially my right arm. It looks a lot better now. But man, it hurts! Check it out
