Icon8 freestyle skiiers

Hey guys,
I had quit a bad accident today while i was skiing.. So I'm a decent park skier(this is my 12th year skiing). I can do rails, kinked rails, boxes and practicly every jump. I usually do easy tricks off the jumps like iron crosses, tailgrabs, and such. But lately I've been practicing doing 180s and 360s off the little jumps and today I decided(with a little peer pressure from the older brother :-P) that i would attemp a 360 on one of the larger jumps. This jump may look puny in the video but its really a 4 or 5 foot tall jump with ehh 6 or 7 foot gap?

So in my landing i came down leaning back too much and all my weight went onto my left wrist bent back and CRACK! I skiied down and got a ride to the hospital because I didn't feel like dealing with ski patroll.

The snowboarder to the right is my brother

In the emergency room waiting for the docter to come(in pain!)

ALL of that stuff i listed is brand new and i got it all for my birthday this year, some now wore or used more than 1 to 3 times, and now i wont be able to use any of it untill next year at the earliest
