Broken Leg 2005
Introduction and Story
Around the 5th of September, 2005, I was skateboarding with my friend. I used to skateboard when I was a kid, but he was out there helping me learn skateboarding again. He is an excellent skateboarder. Anyways, I decided to try something I had never done: go down a ramp on a skateboard. As I was going down, I lost my balance. Thinking I could "jog off" the board, I stepped out with my right foot, not realizing I was not perpendicular with the ground. My foot landed on the ramp, and then was bent inwards as I tumbled off my board. I heard a very loud "pop". I had my friend Will call an ambulance due to the pain, and upon X-ray, the doctor told me I had broken my tibia bone. This was the first bone I can remember breaking in my life.X-rays
No, sadly, I don't have pictures of the accident, but I have the X-rays. I blanked out my personal information from the images.
