(strapped) nailed my dock full speed trying to slide the edge of my jetski dock (i dont even know how i fücked it up so bad) and am lucky i dont have a shattered femur along with my ruined ibex, the bone is chipped it tho and it hurts like a beach currently. i think this is the end of my season, its also starting to get cold. Neutral

crazy stories! the worst i've done so far is tweak my hips doing the splits several times. Hope I can avoid something worse <fingers>

I want to make a kankle joke but that might be in poor taste. Embarassed

Seriously though, injuries suck, but they can also help you appreciate the healthy times that much more.

Tried to hit a roof top too fast, came off the top and thought i could ride away from it. Ended up one foot on, one foot off the board and my right foot hit my right hip. Broke every ligament in my knee.

Now i am part cyborg. 4 screws in my knee, a new ACL and MCL. I was walking 2 weeks after surgery without crutches, i think my surgeon is a magician
