Trace, I jacked my knee while wearing a brace. Random accident, came down all wrong on a toeside 180 while experimenting with a longer line than usual. Cased the wake, compressed my knee super hard, got pulled forward, and bent it the wrong way. Minor damage to the meniscus and badly bruised bones. I'm pretty convinced that my leg just would have snapped in half backwards if I had not been wearing the brace, so I can't complain too much. It was an over-the-counter brace (but a beefy and well-fitting one) and not a custom job. Hope that your leg heals up OK. Watch those fronts... they can be brutal for old dudes like us. See you out on the D'!
