Ohmygosh! This made me cringe and want to look away…and totally reminded me of something I should send my brother because I think he needs to see the moral of the story. Feel better soon, Adam!
Hope Adam recovers soon! Looks like a pretty brutal accident but at least it occurred during the pursuit of something worthwhile.
And I admire how you always make the most out of every situation, for example, making a cool video to share to people rather than complaining or being overly sad.
Wow…and ow! That sucks that he got so badly hurt but at least he has video proof of the biff – bragging rights when he is all healed up! Hope he gets better quickly!
And if I may ask – exactly what ski resort is this at? I can definitely see why he was staring off…absolutely beautiful scenery!
Fantastic video. Though, yikes, scary/extremely painful looking results. Reminds me of some totally insane/fun things have done on the slopes. Hope Adam has a great ortho/sports medicine doc to help speed healing . Sending prayers.
Oh my! As horrific as this accident was and how much pain Adam is surely suffering at the moment, thank God he survived with “only”some repairable injuries; clearly, his good humor and fierce artisitc skills are fully in tact…a powerful PSA video for certain!
God speed, Adam!!!
p.s. When the dr. suggests physical therapy to rehab that shoulder…obey! Those of us who thought we knew better are (years later) sorry for that decision.
Oh my gosh – I had no idea that’s how it happened!! Oh well, at least now you have good footage to show the kiddies some day (and yes, I realize that comment was totally innappropriate)
That is crazy. poor guy. Don’t let him take too many painkillers, instead give him brownies. At least you have the music to get you through! Love your blog!
Sitting here with my hand-to-shoulder cast, three screws added to my elbow and a week out of surgery, I can say that I reallyreally appreciate this video I fell victim to ice skating. The irony is that I wore knee pads but left the elbow pads at home.
Hope Adam is recovering okay and not in too much pain! Having someone around to support and care for you as you come out of it is the best thing
ow ow ow ow ow….ow! Totally brings back memories of me breaking my wrist if 4 places last season. I hope he’s okay. Think he’ll ski again? I’ve sworn off going anywhere near the mountains. Too much pain, can’t handle that again!
Priceless. Though, it is a little hard to watch when you’re just anticipating a trip to the ER at the end Knowing he’s being served double grilled cheese sandwiches makes it a little better…
Yikes! I didn’t know that a dislocated shoulder looked like that! That’s a rough fall.
Love the music to this video. Watching it kind of reminded me of the time I almost broke my boyfriends nose hopping off the ski lift! Of course, we tell the story and laugh NOW but at the time, the blood was nothing to laugh about!
Poor thing! My dad always used to video tape us skiing growing up and we have more than one video of the camera flipping around in the snow when he fell – fortunately he was never injured. I have to say though – it looked like a gorgeous ski day, and as much as I hate to say I’m jealous when it ended so poorly, I wish I’d been skiing there!
ack! that looked terrifying. and painful. it might be one of the reasons i intentionally fall while snowboarding. which i’ve only ever done once but still hope he’s feeling some what better! (on a side note: yay black keys! lovelovelove!)
Boys. Did he ever hit hard! Although I think its adorable that he requested cake in the ambulance and dictates a menu for his recovery. What a sweet girlfriend you are Jenna!
I don’t think you intended for me to want to take up snowboarding after watching that video…. but yeah. I totally want to try snowboarding.
I can’t believe no one has said this but – was that you in the light pants/dark top boarding? If so, you look really good for having just started learning! I’m impressed.
Also… Tahoe is where I also dislocated my shoulder skiing resulting in a surgery. Altho his looks like a separation. Ouch.

Oh. Dear. God…that is horrible. I’m now experiencing phantom pains in my shoulder after watching that.
On a side note, I heard through the grapevine that you went to College of Charleston! I did too!! Love your blog!
Wow, that video went from “haha” to “holy ow” really fast!
Ouch! Dislocations are the worst. I dislocated my elbow a few years ago and it was not a pleasant feeling. I hope he feels better soon!
Yikes! Get well soon, Adam.
and this is why men die young…epic. But seriously, I hope that he’s doing better. poor thing, nothing a little butter and lard can’t fix.
Oh man!! That is crazy you have that on video!
OMG OMG OMG!
Ohmygosh! This made me cringe and want to look away…and totally reminded me of something I should send my brother because I think he needs to see the moral of the story. Feel better soon, Adam!
Ghaaaaaa! Poor guy!
Oh men.
awwww….that is just painful to watch! poor guy! thoughts of super fast healing headed your way!
Ouch, he took a hard hit. Atleast he has you with a helping hand:)
Omg. Jaw on floor.
I hope he’s healing and doing well (better)…hang in there Adam!!!
Poor Adam! Love the editing on the video, though.

Hope “Almanzo” is doing alright — ouch.
Ouch!! The X rays say it all.
Wow…and ow! That sucks that he got so badly hurt but at least he has video proof of the biff – bragging rights when he is all healed up! Hope he gets better quickly!
And if I may ask – exactly what ski resort is this at? I can definitely see why he was staring off…absolutely beautiful scenery!
Homewood in Tahoe…it WAS gorgeous there!
Oh, dear! Pray Adam will be healing quickly!!
Fantastic video. Though, yikes, scary/extremely painful looking results. Reminds me of some totally insane/fun things have done on the slopes. Hope Adam has a great ortho/sports medicine doc to help speed healing . Sending prayers.
oh dear! pls wish adam a speedy recovery!
Ow indeed. Having dislocated both shoulders (not simultaneously), I feel his pain.
Ohhhh wow. I hope he’s starting to feel better since the surgery. Hopefully he’ll have an easy recovery!
Oh my! Get better soon Adam!
OMG! What a good sport he is for letting you post that video
Wishing him a speedy recovery!
Oh my! As horrific as this accident was and how much pain Adam is surely suffering at the moment, thank God he survived with “only”some repairable injuries; clearly, his good humor and fierce artisitc skills are fully in tact…a powerful PSA video for certain!

Time for a helmet-cam?
I’ve got multiple shoulder issues, so I definitely feel his pain. Feel better soon!
Oh man, this made me move to Cringetown: population me. Holy crap.
Oh my gosh – I had no idea that’s how it happened!! Oh well, at least now you have good footage to show the kiddies some day (and yes, I realize that comment was totally innappropriate)
oh wow! That’s crazy they got it on tape! But must admit, it does look pretty bad ass with Black Keys playing in the background :p
Oooooooooooo. Wishing Adam a speedy recovery!
That is crazy. poor guy. Don’t let him take too many painkillers, instead give him brownies. At least you have the music to get you through! Love your blog!
Wow. That’s intense! Cool video, though, until he wipes out
Was that you in front of him totally rocking the boarding at the beginning??
xo I’m sure he’ll recovery quickly with all your delicious food!
pshh no way. I was in the lodge reading and drinking hot chocolate!
OH MY GOODNESS. That was one freakin’ intense video. Hope Adam is doing well after his surgery.
Sitting here with my hand-to-shoulder cast, three screws added to my elbow and a week out of surgery, I can say that I reallyreally appreciate this video
I fell victim to ice skating. The irony is that I wore knee pads but left the elbow pads at home.
Hope Adam is recovering okay and not in too much pain! Having someone around to support and care for you as you come out of it is the best thing
Oh gosh – sports are dangerous aren’t they! I used to see so many clients that broke their wrists or hips for falling while skating.
It actually scares me off from doing any of it myself – because I am Klutz 101. More
than 
.
Oh crap!!! Poor Adam!
That looks like it would extremely painful…
Wow..the things a person will do to get famous!
Recover fast Adam!
Ouch!!! Get well, Adam and take good care of him, Jenna!
Holy….shit. I am going skiing in Aspen soon and I am now totally freaked out. Hope he’s recovering quickly and with pain med’s!
ow ow ow ow ow….ow! Totally brings back memories of me breaking my wrist if 4 places last season. I hope he’s okay. Think he’ll ski again? I’ve sworn off going anywhere near the mountains. Too much pain, can’t handle that again!
Oh dear! That must have been so scary for you guys. Can’t believe you got it all video.
EPIC!!! That is something he will show his children one day!
Priceless. Though, it is a little hard to watch when you’re just anticipating a trip to the ER at the end
Knowing he’s being served double grilled cheese sandwiches makes it a little better…
holy crap that’s actually scary.
was he filming you? the boarder in red or black?
gosh – you and Adam are hard on your shoulders aren’t you!
Eek, that looks awful, hopefully he’ll heal quickly.
I love pictures of x-rays though. And the total disconnectedness and then the bolt look really cool. But awful…
Yikes! I didn’t know that a dislocated shoulder looked like that! That’s a rough fall.
Love the music to this video. Watching it kind of reminded me of the time I almost broke my boyfriends nose hopping off the ski lift! Of course, we tell the story and laugh NOW but at the time, the blood was nothing to laugh about!
OUCH. My knees feel weak after watching that.
Ow! Glad he’s being well taken care of!
ouch!
ouch! My husband did the same thing 2 years ago, snowboarding… geesh!
He has a crazy bump on his shoulder too. I like battle wounds though!
Poor thing! My dad always used to video tape us skiing growing up and we have more than one video of the camera flipping around in the snow when he fell – fortunately he was never injured. I have to say though – it looked like a gorgeous ski day, and as much as I hate to say I’m jealous when it ended so poorly, I wish I’d been skiing there!
Woof. It makes me hurt just to watch that.
One word: Ouch!
ack! that looked terrifying. and painful. it might be one of the reasons i intentionally fall while snowboarding. which i’ve only ever done once but still
hope he’s feeling some what better! (on a side note: yay black keys! lovelovelove!)
thanks for the don’t warning there
Daaaamn, that looks painful! I’ll admit, I’m kind of a scaredy cat when I snowboard…for that reason exactly, haha.

Oh, owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Holy crap, not only does that look something I’d but I friggin love that Black Keys song.
I hope everyone feels better soon:)
That looks like a pretty bomb place to ski/board.
I am not jealous of the ending, however. Hope the rest of your weekend went well
best wishes to Adam.
Ouch!!! I hope he heals quickly!
Oh no! Poor Adam. I felt bad for laughing, but that video was awesome…
maybe cause I knew what was coming.
Anyway, hope you and the patient are doing well!
oh my gosh, that looks terrible! So glad he’s doing ok. Love that he was video-taped getting medical attention!
Ouch, hope he feels better soon.
OUCH! That looks like it was scary. Glad he can have a sense of humor about it.
OMG! So scary watching from that point of view! I hope he feels better quickly!
Oh my! and it’s all on tape.
How many Aggies does it take to go snowboarding…
oh man, ouch that looks so painful. amazing (and horrible) video clippage.
I don’t even understand what happened?! It looks like a freak fall. He wasn’t even going fast!
I guess that’s why we all wear helmets now huh.
I hope Adam feels better soon!
Boys. Why do they insist on doing silly things like making videos as they ski?
Really glad he came through the surgery okay. Heck! I’m glad he made it off the mountain!
Boys. Did he ever hit hard! Although I think its adorable that he requested cake in the ambulance and dictates a menu for his recovery. What a sweet girlfriend you are Jenna!
I don’t think you intended for me to want to take up snowboarding after watching that video…. but yeah. I totally want to try snowboarding.
I would want cake too, ouch! Hope Adam starts feeling better soon.
Omg, that is so scary! I hope he recovers soon!
But also, that video is AWESOME! It must have been so gorgeous there!
I can’t believe no one has said this but – was that you in the light pants/dark top boarding? If so, you look really good for having just started learning! I’m impressed.
Also… Tahoe is where I also dislocated my shoulder skiing resulting in a surgery. Altho his looks like a separation. Ouch.
hahaha no way! That was our friend, Alison. I was in the lodge reading and drinking hot chocolate. Pshhh
