I know what fakie and switch mean but what does cab mean? You know like cab 540? And does it have anything to do with switch or fakie?

In January I was Skiing in Italy and broke my lower leg in 4 places. Apparently the break was caused by my bone twisting rather than the landing itself.

I assume that my foot was stopped from turning by the ski and my body twisted as I fell. Something had to give and it was my leg. At the time I was on a not very steep slope and not going that fast, the snow was a bit patchy and I think my ski hit some earth and I tipped forwards and to one side.

Do you have any tips for how to avoid breaking a leg, sensible ones only please. My confidence is really shattered and I don't know if I'll ever ski again. Maybe I could have avoided it by the way I fell and how I should have reacted as I fell. If I go again I intend to take some lessons, but doubt whether I will go again. I am 43 and not as flexible as the younger skiers. I have only 3 or 4 weeks experience skiing of which the first week I went to ski school.

I have recently started snowboarding but that seems more dangerous.

Do you remember the 2006 Torino Olympics when the last Chinese pair took the ice for their free skate and attempted a quadruple flip toss and the female Chinese skater landed in the split position on the ice? Isn't it dangerous that some of these female skaters are being thrown at such a great height? Can't the female partner complete the number of revolutions in the air without being thrown at such dangerous heights? I think pairs technical skating is the most dangerous of the 4 divisions, especially for the female skater. They can easily fall due to the fault of the male skater.

Hello. Im sure you all get a lot of questions like this so I appologize. I went snowboarding yesterday for the first time and i had a really hard time with turning. I think the board might have been too big, but thats what they sized me up with at the resort. One thing that might have made it difficult was that there was a lot of ice, and very little snow. Im 5'11", size 11 or 11.5 shoe, and only 145 lbs, give or take a few. From what ive been seeing i should use a 155cm size board. The resort gave me a 159cm wide board. Anybody have any ideas on what i should get? I just want something for practicing, or learning i should say.
Thank you.

why is a camel spin called a camel spin?
me and my cousin's theory is, because your leg and back are the camel's body, and your butt and head are the humps. lol

The 163 will come up to my chin but I think it would be better if it was up to my bottom lip or so since I'm going to places in the rockies and canada where there are nice big long runs and I can do long carving. Should I get a 166 custom instead of the 163w vapor?????
