Share any story(stories) that you have of skateboarding. This can be funny, interesting, informative… you decide.
So, a couple years ago i was skating at Hollywod High, i was a little drunk, but i was still doing pretty good. I tried to kckflip the 12 stair and i bailed really hard and hurt my ankle and my knee. My ankle healed up in a few days but i knee was still killing me. So i went to the doctor to see how bad it was. Turns out i tore some tissue in my knee and doctor said "If you dont stop skating, at least for a year, that WILL be a permanent injury." I had no choise, i had to stop. So about 8 months ago i went back for something completely unrelated and i asked about my knee. He took a few x-rays and told me everything was perfect. So of course that day i grabbed my board and went skating and i havent stopped since. The End.
