Have any of you ever lost a toenail (namely, the big toe) due to excessive snowboarding? This happened to me for the first time this last Spring and I was wondering if that is something "normal" for frequent boarders. If not, then I'll check into new boots this Winter.

When I say "lost", I mean injured it so bad that it eventually came off the toe.

that last guy was full of **** get you're boot as tight as possible preferably your regular shoe size. it may be a little snug but your toenail problem is due to a boot that is too loose, so your toe keeps sliding into the toe shell of your boot. Also, a properly fitted boot allows for much more control over your board.

More than likely your boots are too big and your foot is continuously sliding forward and you're slamming your toes into the front of the boot. This is a common problem with snowboarders as well as skiers. Boots are supposed to fit snug so you don't have these problems and so you get maximum control.

He changed into skiing on a eco-friendly run and fell and hit his head problematic. He fell again on a later run (no longer almost as problematic) and changed into knock subconscious. He changed into airlifted to a well being center and interior hours from the twist of destiny he had mind surgical procedure. Then changed into in a coma for 2 weeks and the Dr's did not understand if he changed into going to stay or die. He changed into donning a helmet yet that did not make a distinction. What saved him changed into the actual shown reality that he changed into 28 years previous. if you're making skiers and snowboarders placed on helmets they're going to be renting them on the hill (as my husband did). once a helmet receives into an twist of destiny as quickly because it really isn't any longer affective. there is no way for a ski hill to visual exhibit unit that. i imagine helmets are large and if we ever went and skied or snowboarded again we would truly placed on one. My aspect is this turned right into a thoroughly freak twist of destiny and declaring that it would of been prevented had she been donning a helmet isn't the case in any respect.Skiers fall frequently without doing any damage. All skiers must be made conscious that a head damage will be severe, even although no longer something exhibits and they sense nice, and get it regarded at on the on the spot. If a skier falls and is unable to upward push up or loses knowledge, they must be treated through the Ski Patrol and despatched for clinical interest. contained with regards to severe skiers, using a helmet must be the norm. for the reason that they are figuring out on to placed themselves right into a intense danger challenge, then they ought to also placed on the needed safe practices kit and be prepared to take the outcome of any mishaps.

Nope. I don't think thats normal. Pro shredders shred all the time and I don't hear of them losing their toe nails. I would say it's probably the boots. Get some new ones! Check out this web-site...they have a great selection and sick prices! http://www.the-house.com Good Luck!

Yes, from a rough day of snowboarding. I didn't have my boot on tight enough and entire base cracked on my left foot, big toe. I would definitley look into some boots that have a snug fit.
