Snowboard can certainly hurt
For those who know me and have met me in person, you must know that starting February 6, 2009, I was “stuck in fiber cast” for almost two months because of two fractures: one at the wrist and one at the thumb.
I actually worn two casts, the first one was red, and the second, green… This is now all behind me. I’m out of the Green Cast world and back to Montreal geeky life/work and urbanite balance. (oh! I love my m.t.l. life!).
To make a long story short, after getting “out”, I browsed through my flickr and realized that my top picture was that weirdo-looking Katheline in the office-showing-her-cast photo. That about a niche product, I discovered not long ago that the main source of traffic was the Recreational Orthopedics Center that probably was looking for an example of the New generation of orthopedic casts that are lighter to carry and are available in at least 8 colors!
They describe their practice as:
“the private art of wearing orthopedic devices for fun. Orthopedic devices used by those interested in this art include Casts, Braces, Crutches, Wheelchairs and verious other orthopedic paraphanalia.”
Lesson learned from that spontaneous case study: you can score high in traffic when you target a super niche product. A rare one, indeed. Catching a trend before it rises.
