Rolled ankles are kind of like prison rape. If it happens enough (and it will) your shit'll get loose and eventually it won't bother you so much.

fucking true man,just do the number as soon as possible and enjoy loose ankles along with loose
trucks and loose life

A week ago i twisted two fingers when i bailed doing a warm up fs noseslide. Fingers all black and purple and unable to bend fortunately not broken.It is frustrating that even though i can skate i cant really enjoy it because i am afraid of falling on the damaged fingers.

Well, I don't have much experience with prison rape, but I disagree. I feel like the more I've rolled my ankles, the easier they become to roll again, and it still bothers me just as much if not more than the first time. There is no such thing as getting used to rolling an ankle.

Here's what my arm looked like after breaking it three times in a row then finally getting surgery.  Thank you SF medical Plan!

[Brownie Hound]

Fuck me! Who's the butcher that did that? I can't understand why they had to open your arm up that much.

it all depends from body to body because we are not the same...
for me personally if i rolled it bad of course it's going to give me a hard time but on the other side there was a bunch of time that i sprained it like on flatground tricks and i thought it was fucked but the very next day i would go
out and skate like nothing happened,so i get used to that shit but again it all depends from body to body

[JiggsUp]

Broken Collar bone? Is that an f'ing joke?

DAMN Joe! That is truly rad... on the gruesome scale.

I almost separated my shoulder Saturday night. I was too drunk to even ride my bicycle (you can get a DUI on a bike but I love riding dirty). So I decided to Skate the 5 Miles to North Park while drinking a six pack... best decision of my life. Except for the deep bone bruise and constant pain I think the night was a success... I think...

^ That shit is gnarly.  I hate seeing photos of my own injuries.  I had fun with a second degree burn back in 2003, and whenever I see a photo of it, I can totally still feel it and want to puke.

Slammed pretty hard three times on Saturday, all of them right to my bruised hip.  I think its going to be sore all summer at this rate.
