Hi There,I'm still flat on my back watching college football since there is no waterskiing on tv.
I had Approach bindings front and rear cranked down very hard to not release thinking that if neither foot came out I would be ok. Worked ok for three years and many falls, but mainly to the side.
This was a wrong thing reaching forward going into 6 ball and a snapping out the front fall that I felt in my back and ankle, you read the rest in the post above.
Hopefully this Monday I will get good news about no blood clots in my leg from the doctors and then into hard cast and then we are a third of the way back to skiing. Next the walking boot and then rehab with the start of slalom sometime after that???? We hope.
Anyone heard of other injuries ones like mine with tendon muscle reattachment and how they went?
At least we are here, able to communicate and plan for the future,getting better, and skiing right. Unfortunately our sport slalom, trick and jump is challenging but has hazards we have to accept to have fun. I'm with you about good releasing binding binding for my start back into skiing. Thinking of the Wileys' also. Others are saying hard shells???? I believe they are ok for snow skiing but water skis are different.
Where do you guys ski at for training and how is your weather. Since my surgery we have had four of the greatest ski day of the year, oh well next year.
I will check out achillesblog.com, thanks
