Everything I had fixed, my ACL � medial meniscus, blew up.
Popped like bubble wrap on the take off during a tramp session.
Backseat landings don’t feel so good without your ligaments holding you together.
I kept up at the gym trying to bulk up and create psycho mass in my surrounding muscles.
It helped a lot, but it was the twisting on take offs that threw me off big time.
At this point it had been 3 months and I was starting to lose my mind.
I saw it as training time, and skiing, just being thrown out the window.
I started asking around and researching online about other options.
The same thing kept popping up.
The synthetic graph sounded extremely appealing .
Less invasive surgery and exponentially quicker recovery.
The best research has approximately 5 year follow ups.
These guys were blown away by how strong and quickly they came back.
“LARS is composed of polyethylene terephthalate ?
an industrial-strength polyester fibre.
The theory is that the LARS pulls the two ends of the ACL together and allow for fibroblastic ingrowth.

Best of luck to everybody at X-Games and throughout the rest of the season.
See you in the spring time for the slushy landings!
