the Devo thread!!
Last day of snowboarding for 5-6 months
Must be tough 
Devo, the saturdaty shift at work is pizza day. I ordered my usual stuffed crust… only to bite into it and realised its now stuffed with Vegimite o.O
Ruined. Nasty, so very very nasty.
Pizza hut, you fail.
Hyperextended my knee snowboarding and then played soccer on it on Thursday night thinking it was better. In fact it is now a hundred times worse. Soft tissue damage and torn accessory ligaments in my knee. And soccer finals start next week. Devo!!
Oh, that sucks, Erin. 
I hope it heals up soon!

Ouch Erin :(
Best be resting it up for this season! Sucks about the Soccer though.
Lots of strong drugs, and a leg brace ;P
I feel your pain.. And I’m cringing a little at the though! I had soft tissue/ligament damage done to my knee (from skiing…) about 5-6 years ago.. (which is why I now snowboard…)
And when it healed it formed a bakers cyst.. So when I over use it (eg. Snowboarding for multiple consecutive days) it swells and I get fluid build up on the back of my knee.. (that’s from the cyst)
About a week after I did mine I was back at work.. (probably a bad idea.. But I needed money..) and it started to swell and bruise really badly - looks like it had bled inside the back of my knee - and after a few days I was forced to take some time off :(
So rest up and I hope you get better asap!!! Xx
Thanks guy 
to top it off I have a wisdom tooth coming through (I swear I’m too old for this!) and its got infected and spread to my glands so now I’m on antibiotics as well! worst luck!!
Aww Erin! That’s so shit!! Hope you get better asap! *hugs*
“Back country tour” my arse…
In Japan on a 10day back country tour.
We’ve rode resorts all week. Few tree runs, havnt even done any of the gates yet..
Today we hike inbetween Honozono and Hirafu. Definitely need a guide for this area.
Hike was amazing, such good scenery.
Get to the slope that we’ve been hiking for and its super mellow..
We probably hit steeper runs in the resort boundaries then what this was.
Maybe iv read into it and thought about it completely wrong.
When I hear back country tour. I see big mountains and big terrain big riders.
Was almost questioning my riding ability before I booked it!
Gaaaahhhh…
Other then this, not all is lost, had some amazing mornings last week.
#stillfrothing
^ Woah… sounds like it was oversold if you ask me?
Should’ve sold it as a slackcountry/sidecountry tour maybe?
Did you mention it to the guy? How did everyone else on the tour take it?
It did say in the details of the tour. 2 days back country hiking.
Just thought it would have been a little more advanced then how it has been.
Everyone else is frothing.
But definitely at a lower skill.
Seems more like a tour for people who dont get to the snow too often.
Guess they do need to play it safe tho!
Cant exactly take just anyone into the wild!!
We’re off hiking again tomorrow. Hopefully be a little more exciting.
Havnt brought it up with the guide.
Talked about it with a few of the crew and everyone else seemed happy..
So made me think maybe my expectations got a bit high!
Who reads back country and doesnt think big tho!!
^ I think most bc tours if they’re not requiring an AST level 1 minimum then I’d assume it’s slack country and nothing that a local couldn’t show you.
Personally I think it sucks because it makes especially clueless ppl have a false sense of security about what back country really is and that’s how they end up lost for days or worse, but hey you gotta sell it somehow…..
Who reads back country and doesnt think big tho!!
hmmm its japan though.
To them backcountry is our slack country!

You obviously haven’t watched japan from a van

Absolutely devo that a month out of my trip to Europe my camera lens has well and truly shit itself and I have no spare $ to replace it
