The last time I went snowboarding was on those mountains. I made the mistake of listening to the friend of my friend, who was one of those "I've been doing this my whole life, so I know the right way" kind of guys.

I had gone through the terrain park once, no issues. This fucknuckle of a turtle tit tells me how I'm supposed to land on a certain part of the jump to do it the right way and that I needed to be going faster to accomplish said goal.

Long story short, I hit the top of the jump wrong, and was basically in a "V" position 20ft in the air. I tried to break my fall a bit by putting my arm out, thinking I could at least get myself to roll with the fall. I bloodied my mouth, injured my shoulder, tweaked my back, smacked the holy fuck out of my hip....you get the idea. I didn't break anything, but I sure couldn't move my arm for a few days.

Check out Graham Stephan on YouTube. He's gone over some of the best banks for online only, as well as the lowest fees. Establishing myself as an independent adult and not just the child of my parents made a huge difference, but it took work to get here. Don't let people emotionally manipulate you. It's your life, and you only get one of them.
