WiK1D asked me this too. Okay, here's a list of injuries:
Broken right shoulder(not skating though), broken right arm, broken right hand, dislocated right ring finger.
Um... Cracked rib, torn kidney (OUCH!!), um, MANY torn ligaments and muscles(that hurts alot).
That's all i can remember at the moment, i'm sure there's more, i'll ask Mum later, she'll probably remember better than i do!

Thanks Ynoz!
I skated at a park called Wonder park today. I don't have the pics right now, but i got DESTROYED by this ledge i tried to skate. $As soon as i locked my trucks on, the front one hooked on a loose screw, my board stopped dead and i got thrown STRAIGHT into the concrete. I'll get the pics from marc and post them.

Hey guys, here are 2 video clips of me skating.
The first one is a kickflip i did down 8 stairs in a competion a few months ago (400K)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wSWo0O4IDM
The second one is an entire run i did in a comp four and a half years ago! I won that comp
It's a big file though, like 9MB, but trust me, it's worth it.

This isn't arrogancy. We have a semi-pro skateboarder in our community, we should support him. 'Cos if he makes it to ESPN, he must give us a percentage of his earnings and endorsement deals. I shotgun a percentage from the Coca Cola deal.
Seriously though, DJV, nice vids. Keep it up!

He isn't going to be keeping it up - he broke his legs.neon_chameleon wrote:This isn't arrogancy. We have a semi-pro skateboarder in our community, we should support him.

Hmmm... good point that.
I was under the impression it was only one leg and it was recovering well, I think I better find that thread again and have a look. However, a lot of active skaters have suffered extremely bodily damage but once healed go straight back on the board. Doing so with a passion for it greater than before because of the sheer love of the sport and their new found "don't-take-it-for-granted" attitude for life.
