Broken Foot
- One day i was skating with some of my friends, and i tried kickflipping off a box, and i landed on the ground with my foot on it's side, and it hurt like crazy, couldn't sk8 for 3 weeks. So about a week after i could sk8 again the SAME thing happened to me and it hurt even more. I went to the doc and they said my foot is broken and it was because i stretched a ligament the first time i hurt it. My foot is still broken today about 4 days after i hurt it the second time

ow! my worst crash yet
- I was skating alone one day in my garage, kickfliping an old door I painted. I tripped on the deck while was flipping and fell, got up and saw blood running down my leg, then ran to my dad's old rag can and used one to get it to stop. I then slapped on a band aid to get the blood to stop. It didn't stop for at least 15 minutes.

Lean on your toes while grinding tranny!
- I was skating my new deck on my birthday at the skatepark, and I was so stoked because I learned 5-0s on the biggest section of quarter pipe at my park (about 7ft). I did it so many times. Then, I went to do it again to show a friend, and bad things happened. While I was grinding away thinking "f**k yeah!" my back trucks turned too much sideways. this sent me promptly into a backside lipslide where the board stuck. I was thrown off and down to the bottom of the quarter, where I hit the ground. Hard. My head was bleeding, and my whole left side was bruised, so I had to wait a few minutes to get up. Everyone came over, and I was just laughing. Spent the rest of the day sitting down. I was out for about 5 days, but meh, what can you do?

Broken Fingers.
- I bombed a big hill at the entrance of my neighborhood. When I was closer to the bottom I was clocked at 18 MPH. Then, I got speed wobbles. So, with my smartness I attempted to jump to some nearby grass. But, I didn't make it. I broke two fingers, sprained another. I hit my head on the ground hard, but with a helmet on. I had road rash all over my back, arms, and legs. And to top it all off, my shoes flew off. I was skating later that night. Haha.
