    Torn Bicep Re-Hab

    in News & Other Stuff

    Posted

    @lpskier sounds like your back to normal routine after 4 months. My surgeon has initially told me 3 months. @horton interesting that you were out for 9 months...musta been total tear? Mine was pretty rough but not completely torn. The physical therapists tell me for a solid month I'll only be doing passive movement.

    the title of this thread is a little misleading I guess. Seems that most posts are actually talking about torn biceps tendons not the muscle itself.

    I had my torn biceps tendon repaired two weeks ago. The surgeon reattached it by screwing it to my arm bone. The procedure is called tenodesis. For those that had this how long was it before you were back on the water? Just wondering what your experience was like what I can expect realistically. @Horton or anybody that's been through this.

    Wishing I could ski, on water as well as snow, right now.

    I’m missing it a ton. It was my best season in a long time. I last skied on Dec 3. Winter’s definitely set in here in Alabama so it looks like it’s going to be 3 solid months until my next set. The most frustrating thing about skiing is that I get better and better all season long then have to quit for 3-4 months and lose so much of the gains I had made. I’m jealous of your situation @sunvalleylaw Being able to snow ski in the off season would be a pretty good second choice!

    Slowing for the turn islands?

    Not sure how much room you have around your islands...there is plenty of space around mine and it would be hard to find a lake easier to drive. That being said I would never go around mine at 34mph. More than 26 feels too fast and there's just no reason I can think to go faster than that.

    @ski6jones I noticed that you're traveling from Houston to Nashville. 90 miles south of Nashville I have a sweet lake. It's just a few miles from I-65. If you're passing through you're welcome to a set here.

    @AdamCord I placed an order but haven't received the ski yet...can I go ahead and join the Denali forum? Not sure how to access it, if so.

    And can you give me any updates on how production is going?(order #95)

    Gate Variations

    in Technique & Theory

    Posted

    I've been having trouble getting good gates all summer. This year and in the past I frequently would overrun even when I was sticking to my initiation marker. I was putting a lot of effort into the pullout and would often be to fast when it was time to turn in. Today I made sure to focus my first bit of effort of the pullout into getting the ski pointed wide. This made a huge difference in success. When I got good angle I never once felt too fast at the turnin point and it really set me up for the positive things mentioned earlier in the thread....gradual turnin and buildup of angle, strong leverage position, and easy unload going into one.
