Broke my 5th metatarsal wallieing a small folding sign late November, and had a ski instructor course 3 weeks after.
The doc didn’t give me any leeway, so I considered my options, and since I already paid $500 for the course, I cut the cast off and crammed the foot into a ski boot and did the course.
Passed the course (barely), and got an z-ray right after to see if the bone was still healing. Luckily it was.
Been teaching skiing and snowboarding full-time since, went back for an x-ray yesterday and the doc gave me the ok to go skate again, so I did.
My flick was pretty stiff (and I was scared shitless of ollieing up a tiny curb, ha ha) but it was nice to roll around again
