I tried to learn how to water ski on Memorial Day. The first time I got pulled, I got my feet all wacky underneath me and ended up bashing my right ski against my left lower leg/ankle.

It hurts like hell, looks like hell, and walks like hell.....:sad:

 

ouch! did you get it looked at?

 

i know how you feel man. i've been thru so many ankle injuries. sorry to hear about your ankle. hope you get better soon

 

That sucks. Water skiing isnt too hard to learn, you just gotta learn to pull yourself up. Make sure you tie your trunks up real tight too, I went skiing then fell and my shorts just ripped right off me.

 

that happened to me the first time I tried to waterski... now you just gotta sit back and relax for a couple weeks & go at it again... patience is key... my second outting took 19 pulls to get me up, but now I'm a 1 pull skier, even slalom...

Hope you get better!

 

I went through maybe 5 pulls after that. The last two I was able to get up on my feet, but bent my arms. I held it for about 3 or so seconds then my skis slid ahead and out from underneath me. I learned the first two times to let go of the handle. Don't want to add missing arms to my already weary body!

 

Ouch! sounds very painful

 

yeah... I forgot to let go on my first pull that I got sorta up too... I wound up snorting about 10000000 gallons of Dworshak Reservoir up in Idaho...
