If i can hike with a 45lb fire pack and a 50lb hose pack on my back up 100% slopes i think i can snowboard.<br />Maybe you should go and do the bunny slopes and see how your knee feels before doing the hard stuff. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>50Reasons</b> <br /><small>Member # 6452</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,0,23,0,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> How long ago was your cadaver knee put in give it at least two years before trying those sports. When I had a torn acl I had to wait at least that long to try snow boarding and wake boarding but yea I know how you feel, you just want to get out there and tear it up like it never happened ! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
