ya they are horrible, i saved myself from a really bad one today. my friend who i always ride with did a bad split and tore 10% of his meniscus a while ago, hes ok now but it was bad when he first did it.

LF, i blew my knee out on the splits twice. i did it today and came sooo close to blowing out my right one. it sucks man. I have to rock 2 knee brace now and i can't ride till my right knee brace comes in Confused

Several days ago I had a mild split so it didn't hurt but my front foot stayed on the board and my knee came down onto fresh grip tape, nice baby rash.

Did the splits on a w2w yesterday and came down on the board ass/ankle first. Now my leg looks like I'm smuggling a baseball inside it..

happened to me on a I/O shuv gone wrong last year .. had to have scope and thus resulting in me having to ride conservative since I cant miss work anymore during the summer cause I gotta pay for school ( growing up sucks hahahaha )

yesterday was my first splits encounter my ankle landed weird on the board and dragged across most the board, giving me a nasty burn, i then proceeded to face plant. It sucked but i landed the trick next try so it wasn't that bad

mattttt60, When i did my split yesterday my front foot landed back on the board and not my back so it just took my front knee forward. My knee is still swollen and i cant walk right. How did your splits happen?
