Lets give them both a great big hand

Everywhere you look around resort the fashion accessory to wear is a sling. More people than I can comfortably count on both hands have broken/fractured/strained/twisted/dislocated their wrists/arms. At the top of the list is Simon and Rob C (SDS) both of whom are now the proud owners of French hardware in their wrists. Talking to them together you realise that even in injury there is competition. Both Simon and Rob C had three pins inserted into their wrists. According to Simon, Rob screamed like a pussy after the local anaesthetic wore off although after talking to the hospital staff Simonís high pitch cries could be heard in the car park. But then according to Simon, his injury was incurred while flying through the air performing an inverted 1080. Robís break happened at the bottom of M after hitting a blind jump. After their dual operations they drove up the hill together. Simon drove while Rob C changed the gears. Itís a miracle they made it back at all.
