    Injured hand at nationals. Surgery tomorrow.

    in News & Other Stuff

    After missing last season because of my neck injury my season is over once again. During my run off with Darin Montgomery for the M3 National title Thursday (Big congratulations to Darin!!) I popped the handle around 3 ball at 39 and broke my middle finger and tore the tendon, similar to what is called "jersey finger". The break is an avulsion where the bone breaks completely off. I had a dream start at 39. 1 and 2 felt perfect. I was heading to 3 early when out of nowhere the tip of my ski jumps up in the air and takes me off edge. Holy #$ what happened?? Somehow i still managed to get around 3 awkwardly and when i tried to hang on the handle pops. I still can't figure out what happened.

    I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow at the Mayo clinic. They tell me it's a 12 week recovery. Tough sport!

    Reflex 500 v 750

    I have the new 750 on my ski and my old 500 as a backup. Yes, your 500 shell will work on the 750 release. the 500 and 750 look exactly the same. The only difference that I can see is the 750 screw and spring are stainless.

    Cervical Disc Herniation

    I came back from a herniated c5/c6. It happened last year. I lost 90% strength in my left bicep and deltoid. The pain was unreal. I avoided surgery, had 2 epidural injections and lots of drugs. I missed 6 months of skiing. But it healed (still healing) on its own and I'm back skiing. So yes, you can avoid surgery. In fact, herniated discs heal themselves 90% of the time. You can message me anytime for advice.

    Good luck!!

    Wakeye XT-One app only 30 fps???

    I just received my Wakeye XT-One yesterday. Incredibly fast shipping!!

    The Wakeye app says it can record at 120fps. But I can only record at 30 fps and the video quality is not nearly as good as just using the built in camera app on the iPhone. It's choppy.

    I don't see any fps options on the Wakeye app.

    I have an IPhone 6 plus.

    What am I missing?
