Broken Toe

nick · Posted: Sep 19, 2004 5:21 pm Post subject: Broken Toe

i went out for an early morning session today with my jet ski and we were gonna do some chase boat filming with my pontoon boat. starts out good, just doin a little warmup run. i was settin up for a 360 shuv over a crab trap buoy and we were goin a little slow. so i tell the driver to speed up some. he doesnt listen. i knew it was too slow to throw it normal, but i did it anyway. in the air, the board kinda spins sideways, lands vertical in the water and all but stops. my big toe on my right foot nails the middle full speed at the right angle to snap it like a fcking twig. so now im stuck in my house with a mangled broken toe and i wont be able to ride for like a long ass time Evil or Very Mad
