"Have you had the misfortune of suffering a snowboarding related injury? Are you going snowboarding for the first time? Want the confidence to try all those cool new tricks you've seen the pros do in the magazines?"

Preventing a fall or possible injury means wearing the necessary snowboard protection. Also, take the needed steps to improve your skills & performance. Take lessons, get plenty of sleep, and don't snowboard when you're tired.

Each year, there are in excess of 150,000 injuries and dozens of deaths related to skiing and snowboarding combined, according to Jeffrey Hadley, Ph.D., an epidemiologist with the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and a former Ski Instructor.

Here are some of the most common reasons for snowboarding injuries:

• Lack of necessary skills
• Muscle fatigue, a.k.a., “leg burn”
• Tiredness or sleepiness
• Alcohol intoxication or a hangover
• Poor visibility or blizzard conditions
• Dull edges on hard snow conditions
• Fear and anxiety
• Snowboarding too fast, relative to your ability
• Encountering moguls or small bumps
• Hard, icy, and other poor snow conditions
• Not wearing proper snowboard protection

Hey Riders,

Welcome back to the 2010 - 2011 Snowboard Season.

Whether your snowboarding for the first time, attempting a new trick or trying to step up your riding to the next level, injury prevention must be taken seriously. Unfortunately, there is always a painful price to pay everytime you catch your back side edge, miss a landing and smash your tailbone,buttocks,hips and more.

Back in 1997, I was racing Boardercross™ at Blackcomb Mountain and had the unfortunate experience of missing a landing and kissing a patch of ice. I fell hard on my butt and fractured my tailbone wearing a competitors snowboard protection, which was thin and flimsy. I was out of action for months, not to mention the remainder of that season.

During my rehabilitation, I researched protective tailbone and hip protection that would withstand heavy impact. There were none (and still none) that incorporated molded 1/2" high impact foam for both the tailbone and hipbone areas that did not have gaps between the pads. Just well designed ergonmic crush lines for unmatched protection. None until two years later after countless painstaking hours at the boardroom before the final performance engineered piece was completed.

I don't want ANYONE to go through the pain that I went through....Not only the physical pain, but the pain of not being able to enjoy my favorite sport.

ESSENTIAL SNOWBOARDING GEAR

Some other Snowboard Protection that you may want to consider include helmets, Tucker wrist guards, Tucker back protection, Tucker kidney and rib Protection, knee supports, and possibly an ankle brace if prior damage has occured. There are many great products available on the market right now that will guard against wrist, head and leg injuries....but what about your hips,buttocks and tailbone??

There is other Snowboard Protection out there that offer tailbone and hip protection but do they completely cover your tailbone ,buttocks and hips? Do they give technical details regarding their protection and are they comfortable? Are they breathable. Do their fabrics retain moisture? That's when Tucker Sports Products decided to manufacture Butt Gear Protection. Butt Gear would have definitely protected me from the fall that I had back in 1997.
