I Broke my Leg -or- Mike Jonas Doesn’t Ride a Bike

Yep, just one injury after another. About a month ago I jammed my foot into the ground, after getting sketchy on a jump, and somehow ended up with a depressed fracture at the top of my tibia. That means the bone went inwards. And since the doctors were all jerks, It wasn’t diagnosed until about two weeks after it happened. As a result It’s to late fix it with surgery and now I have a permanent crevice at the top of my tibia.

The current doctor I’m seeing seems to think that It’ll heal okay and that it will be 100% when it heals. I’m still really worried about it though since If the depression in my tibia does turn out to be a problem, I’m told that there’s not many options for fixing it. So hopefully I don’t have issues with my femur slipping into my tibia depression or whatever.

Here’s an old clip of me from 2003 that I just came across. That snow jump took me like 20 hours to build, but it was totally worth it! I just wish more people could have ridden it with me.

I met up with Kris, Rich and George to ride some street in huntington. The spots there suck for the most part and we’ve ridden the good ones to death, but it’s still fun when you have fellow riders to share the crappyness with though.

I haven’t been able to ride that well for the past week. I bruised something in my back/shoulder area doing something dumb at the skatepark. Now whenever I put pressure on the area from heavy lifting or actual riding, it feels like I’m getting kicked in the groin, except in the shoulder area. Weird… I hope it gets better soon because I want to start riding so bad.

Oh, and I guess this is the first official blog post. I’m not sure where I’m going with it yet, but it will probably be brilliant… or at the very least it will have a bunch of pictures.
