Our Homey Ben from Fordham Films, was out filming with Zak Allegri, when this happened, he tells it best. Take care homey, get back on your board soon...
On Friday, I was skating Paul Revere with Zach. I pushed at the top of the bank, got some speed up, then dropped into the bank going pretty fast. At the bottom, I hit a rock, my board came to a stop, I tried to run it out going like 20 mph, had to run up the next step bank that I was going to skate up and my leg buckled. I thought I broke it at first, but after a couple moments I realized I didn't, but I knew I messsed it up. We had to hop the fence to skate this spot and I had to hop it with my bum leg again to get out. Zach had to drive my car home...haha. Later that night, it looked like I had a half of a grapefruit on the side of my leg, you could see if through my jeans and I don't wear those tight ones like certain dudes do these days. It was pretty much freakshow Ben. That swelling went away for the most part the next day I woke up and the colors started to come.
Last night (Tuesday), I got in the shower and I looked at my ankle and it looked super sprained. I was so pissed. I had no idea I messed it up. I guess the swelling went down around the knee area, letting the ankle finally swell up. Awesome! So, I have crutches and a pimp cane to get around. No skating for a couple of weeks for shizzle. If you want to see a pic of it, check the attachment. Mad bruises. I had it looked at and nothing is broken, just sprained. R.I.C.E. is how I have been rolling lately.
Cheers,
Ben
