it finally happened

almost 30 odd years of skateboarding.. and i broke my foot yesterday. trading in the board for some sticks. no ideal. but there it is. it’s not a problem.. but a fact. i am one of the lucky few, i have insurance, so as my foot swelled to a tennisball. i just went to the hospital. it got me to thinking.. what do pros do when they break things. as in pro skaters. i would assume most pro skaters are not p-rod.. or xyz famous skater.. and don’t make a ton of money skateboarding. 2 months of not being able to skate. means 2 months of losing skills, and not getting, or trying to get coverage. i would think that sponsor’s would stick behind their guys and keep them paided up. i assume. what to you think? what would you do if you broke your foot? and were part of the old man army?
and i thought i was just starting to get sorta good. anyways. love to hear some injury and recovery stories. drop a line in the comments.

up next is my Emerica Heath V. Vans AVE shown down. it was a slaughter. more later.
