Everybody at some time gets hurt wakeboarding. lets see whats happened over the 08 summer. post pictures, tell the story, and lets see what happened.

like this year i was riding at my usual spot. and i was going for a hs fs 3. ended up getting booted backside. no clue how. (i was riding the hyperlite tribute)the board hit me in the arm and i ended up having to get 9 stitches in my arm. I have a picture but its pretty knarly.

Nothing is as knarly as that broken leg in the boot still picture. Eeee Gads!

2000 Krypt to broken ankle.
2001 FS 3 to arm in the handle to dislocated shoulder.
2002 Slider to Broken Wrist. Turns out crashing into 6 inches of water is painful.
2004 Upbar Slider to gab to a 6 foot high flat bar, we kept pushing the gap bigger and bigger, eventually I took a slam thigh first into the flat bar. Sliced and diced up my leg, but the worst part was the bruise it gave me, my thigh doubled in size, wish I had a picture.
and 6 concusions.

Whatever anyone does do not show that broken leg in the byerly boot picture. I just saw it and I just decided to stick my board and bindings on ebay and try my luck at wakeskating! ha jk

Backside 3, got kicked off axis and landed with the board pointing vertically. Sprained my back ankle, this was 2 and a half months ago and it's still not healed, yet the season keeps on getting closer and closer...

I did the same thing that Andrew Adkison did when his knee when up into his chin. I broke a bunch of teeth and basically barely save my bottom teeth. It really hurt.

This past summer I kneed myself in the face trying to do a tootsie roll off a kicker much smaller than the one I'm used to at home. The point of impact was just above my right brow. I had two VERY black eyes for weeks. I was in the Philippines when this occurred and therefore did not see a doctor right away. When I returned home, the swelling was down and the purplish/black color around my eyes had faded. It was then I noticed an inch long slight indentation on my forehead. X-rays were completed- turns out I gave myself a non displaced skull fracture. It healed fine (no brain injuy); though, I will have this dent in my head for the rest of my life- a constant reminder of my awkward mishap. I am proud to say, however, after mustering much courage I started throwing and landing tootsies again off of my home kicker, though I will forever avoid throwing this trick off of small kickers.

2008- hurt left pinky finger. not bad enough to bruise, but fairly gnarly.
2009- bruised ego. fell down and was laughed at by a little kid. It hurt real bad.

Broken ankle on a toeside front roll. Boot bent in half with my foot in it. 7 screws and a metal plate. 9 months later and 2 surgerys, still, still limping and major loss in range of motion.

nothing compared to some of these injuries but I tore my rib cartilage almost 2 weeks ago, which affects every movement you make basically, not fun. Anybody else had a similar injury? Any idea on the recovery time?

(skyler_25) · (skyler_25) **Join Date: Jan 2009** 03-20-2009, 11:12 AM

i seperated my ribs barefooting.

I dislocated my kneecap for the second time doing a stupid toeside jump, not even anything cool.

2008 - I got water in my eyes

Pretty bad I know.

(cheesydog) · (cheesydog) **Join Date: Mar 2009** 03-23-2009, 1:18 AM

salt water or fresh?

(tl_hereford) · (tl_hereford) **Join Date: Nov 2008** 03-23-2009, 5:02 AM

O man water in the eyes is no good. I did a BS 180 to torn MCL it was sweet, don't know how I pulled that one off.
