Why?

Leave it to me to go off and be completely hypocritical and start my own blog(I hate them). However I don’t tend to or plan on blogging about my emotions, feelings and issues with family or how I’m having a bad hair day. This blog is made for one of two things, the first is for ‘those’ who care enough to know about my road to recovery and what I mean by 'those' is family, family friends and friends I consider family and anyone else who gives a heck. The second is to keep supporting my homies who are still out in the field stacking clips with their cell phones or putting out full length parts to this summers east coast banger and for othe who are trying to find themselves in the arts. All in all this sites is purely about support, a little something everyone needs when you have one leg to stand on.

How It All Went Down

The day before I leave to head back to school I receive a call from Billy inviting me to get some shred on over at the house of vans. Me being pressed for time between getting ready to head back up to Syracuse and skating debated back in forth in my head for a short time before I made up my mind to get a little skate in. Shortly after arriving a serious session broke out between homies Rob Gonyon, (Black) Dave Willis, Kevin Tierney and Billy Rohan as well as Zered Bassett, Brien Brown, Nick Sassa and Eli Reed (one hell of a session to watch). At the time I wasn’t doing much skating because it was pretty sick to watch all these guys rip it up. Eventually I started to session the extension on the quarter where I figured why not throw down a front side?  It was my fourth or fifth attempt when my decided to start trying and it was then the my back foot (I’m goofy so my left foot)  tipped the tail of my board and missed. My foot planted either in the concave of the ramp or a little bit above it, my front foot (right foot) on the board, I believe, sent all of my weight back on my left leg when I guess you can say my tibia bone (the bone I broke) broke.
As a result I went for treatment at Long Island Jewish Hospital where I received surgery of which consisted of one plate and screws in my leg as well as a cast to live with for two months. They also discovered that I tore all ligaments in my left ankle which required no surgery but does prolong my healing time. Though there is no footage of the brake actually happening, here are some x-rays.
