My Injury

           Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. I just didn't go to that many skateparks lately. And as much as I know you want to hear about me skating on the street in front of my house, I think writing about skateparks is more fun. Now back in the day, Rodney Mullen and the others did some pretty cool flatground stuff, so I wanted to replicate something like that. I'm always trying to learn a new fliptrick, or mini-ramp trick or rails or whatever. So to be different, I decided I would try to handstand while riding. I landed several times without falling and thought I had it down. Then my neighbor walked by and I thought I would show off. So I hopped up and stalled out the handstand but pushed too hard to get upside down and ended up falling over, doing a full frontflip. Then my hand started hurting. I was like Oww. So I was done for the day. I went in iced my hand and slept it off. But it still hurt the next day so I went in to the doctor and..........Buckle Fracture. So I'm not allowed to skate for 3 weeks. Doctors/Parents orders. It stinks. I can't find any way to occupy my time. I don't get what people do all the time. I have a whole bunch of energy and can't do anything with it. However, I am thankful that I didn't have to get a full cast, instead I just have a splint that I can take on and off. And I'm glad that I didn't hurt myself more. That being said, I hope I never hurt myself like this again, because this is the worst.
