That sucks dude. Seems like once I get one scab on my hand, it's with me for months because they're so easy to reopen.

[Hefeweizen]

Oh yea! This thread needs more pics. Is there already a hall of meat thread? I'll post my back melter from a couple summers ago later.

This liquid bandage stuff seems to be helping a lot.  I'm hoping this helps toughen my hands for all the action over the next eight months.  My palms might have taken the brunt of the damage, but the rest of my hands got roughed up too.

We should start one of those and a stoke thread for skate pictures too.

I rolled my ankle last summer kickflipping a 3 stair for fun ( embarrassing )   and it's now march and it still hurts a bit but the snows starting to melt so I can start to skate again

[susej]

that'll teach you for skating for fun.

[JiggsUp]

Seriously dude what are you thinking, if it's less than a 10 set its not even worth looking at. Obviously you have a lot to learn. NOOB. In all seriousness though, I hope your ankle feels better for the new skating season. Along with everyone else's ailments. Happy skateboarding!

I was hoping to steer clear of this thread but my number got called yesterday.  Tweaked my ankle pretty good..



Luckily it's not too bad, been icing it and taking anti-inflammitory/painkillers. Walking isn't fun but I can get myself around and put pressure on it.  I was on a good streak too, before this I hadn't had a debilitating injury since Dec 09. Oh well, as they say:  'If you're not hurt, you're not trying.' (or something like that)

[Greg Smith]

I haven't posted in a while been busy with school and work, but I figured I could post a video of me rolling my ankle a couple years ago.

Bryce twists his ankle

 

Also, I guess you guys find out my name really isn't Greg Smith, but I think you already knew that.

[ketur]

feel you bro,it sucks for sure to sprain it like that but wall ride is a sick trick and shit happens
 i personally roll both my ankles like 10 times
but we all know as skaters that rolled ankle is most common skate injury so only thing we can do is chill and come back for some more
