I still can’t believe I’m reading this right! From Transworld:
I love Crested Butte!!! Of course, they’ve had some bad snow this past season, but it was great in 2005! I think I’ll have to go find out for myself! =D
My knees aren’t the best. I tore cartilage in my left knee in grade school. For years my knee would give out on me while I was walking or lock up on me when I would bend it just wrong. Interestingly enough, my early days of skiing and eventual snowboarding really helped to strengthen my knee and almost eliminate the locking and giving out. Still, after a long hard day of boarding, my knees would really ache. My bad knee, the left one, also happens to be the knee from which my board hangs while sitting on a chair lift. I’m forever finding ways of sitting that take the weight and stress off of that bum knee. Make it a hard pack day and it gets even worse with my knees crashing into the ground all the time.
Last season, I decided to try a new product. Based on the recommendation of my parents, I picked up a bottle of Flex-a-min from Wal-mart. I started taking the supplements a little while before heading off on my longest snowboard trip to date. After six days of riding and reaching a point of total physical exhaustion - all while making sure to take the supplements regularly - I had absolutely no knee pain.
I know I sound a bit like a commercial, but the difference was more than noticeable. A little knee pain was just something I had previously accepted as part of the fatigue of snowboarding. If the product is working as it claims, then the reduction in pain comes from helping the knees stay healthy and not from somehow numbing the pain. I plan to take these supplements before and during all of my snowboard adventures in hopes of extending the useful life of my precious knees. I highly recommend this product to anyone.
