Canadian grab in the gap off the knuckle

When I broke my leg skiing years back, at first I told the truth: I skiied off a cliff.


By the time my plane landed back home, the story had changed to “I was doing a basic alley-oop in a half-pipe but decided at the last minute to do a triple cork above the deck with a Canadian Grab in the gap off the knuckle. Unfortunately I broncoed, forcing me to bend into a backscratcher downwind, doing a double-pump daffy helicopter and I ran out gas. Landed dead with a broken femur, the same one I broke taking Valley High School to the World High School Hockey Championships back in 1978.”
