I fractured my foot

I’m going to be out for a few weeks. I broke a bone in my foot trying a flip to fakie at the huntington park. It was my first time trying it on the ramp there and I ended up pushing out too much, causing me to do a backflip 8ft to flat. I hopped off the bike when I realized i wasn’t landing it and then just landed awkwardly on my feet.

It wasn’t that bad. I actually did another one right afterwards, before the pain and swelling set in. Then I drove home and went to the hospital.

Here’s the media for the day:

Murphy’s Law

Stripped cranks, blown out tires, rain, puddles, gas prices, and more. Me and Darryl had planned a camp out at greenport, but of course everything went wrong. We got to greenport at 10pm, had a mellow park sesh, and then set up camp at around 2am in the baseball dugout next-door. We planned to wake up super early and ride the park all day the next day. Unfortunately it rained from 7am till 1pm, which killed any chance of riding the skatepark.

Despite all of the setbacks, we made the best of it and still had some fun. Click the photos for descriptions and such.
