dredging this from the depths after 'smash elbow'
(http://tinyurl.com/9alkm) .
trying to pull a coleman slide on a skateboard (basically grab the board
and force the board to move parallel to the axles of the wheels). it's
supposed to be a relatively safe way to stop, compared to foot
braking.
broke my fibula near the ankle. they say it's real common to break that.
decomissioned for 6 weeks, the plus side being some good exercise for
the upper body.
moral: don't attempt a trick you've never, ever seen done. and only
heard vague references of.
where's erin these days? i see flywheels on her skateboards, same as
mine.
edit: oh yeah.. then the surgery 2 weeks after to make sure i didn't
develop arthiritis in the joint. needed a plate and screws put in.
breaking stuff is quite a hassle.
