kornhouse, Yep I know the feeling. My arm has never been that sore in my entire life. It was like I jerked off an elephant or something.

Handles = Danger!

Hope you guys get better soon Wink

Back when I strapped on lol I got maybe 3 concussions a season but the most painful injury was when I blew out my eardrum that was probably the most pain I've ever gone threw but ever since I stopped strapping the only injury I've had is a pulled groin which felt like I tore my sack Crying or Very sad

but so far that's it Smile

I took the board off the face twice on seperate occasions, once to the forehead and once to the lower lip. Had 9 stitches in my lip and like 8 in my forehead.

Also, i'm pretty sure i broke a rib once too. Went for a w2w on a super choppy day, the wake threw me up awkwardly and I came down chest first on the other side. I felt this crazy pain in my chest and came up out of the water gasping for air. It was weird, didn't hurt for that long though, took a minute to chill and then took another run Cool

I think it healed weird too because the bone ain't smooth anymore. I was wearing one of those Jetpilot stance vests at the time, those things suck, this whole thing probably wouldn't have happened at all if they put some padding on the sides of those things.

In june I really messed up a simple pop shuv and broke my ankle 4 times. I landed it with one foot on the board which did not slip out cause I somehow had my weight straight over the (still rotating) board.

In the next days it became sort of a running gag that all the docs who saw it said things like "wow, that´s a hell of a broken ankle. Well done!"

Board hit my face and split my nose open, had to get liquid stitches. (I went wakeskating later the same day Very Happy

)

A few weeks ago the board hit me in the face HARD and we believe I broke it, but we didn't check cause there's not much they can do about it. When it hit i was bleeding out of my mouth, nose, and the gash in my nose. It still looks kinda funny if you look at it straight on, but whatever. I freaked James out cause I was yelling and screaming for him to come back Laughing

Got hit in the head a LONG time ago with the board, got a bit of a bump.

A ton more less significant, just the average scabs and bruises of a wakeskater/trampskater/skateboarder.

Injuries suck but theyll put the flame of motivation under your ass more than anything.
