This is for our mate,Bent Madradman. He fell off downhill skating and is just about to go under the knife and get a few bolts in his leg. Its going to be 10 weeks+ of pain watching me have fun.

SO to cheer him up! Please post your nightmare broken leg story on a spot below.


I broke my leg in the middle of one of those nuclear windy summers a few years ago, kitelooping slimchancing on a 7m in 30 knots. It was a very hot summer and my leg stank like a sewer pipe. Your turn.

Not my leg, but I broke my elbow start of this winter/fall... Stupidest sh!t ever was that I was winching into waves on a skimboard at the time and just fell over haha.
At the time I didn't think I really broke it but I hyper extended my arm and went SNAP. I think if I had been doing something where I was ready for bad falls (like skating) I wouldn't have stuck my arm out like I did. Just unlucky really but I guess sh!t happens sometimes. My arm is still not 100% now and I can't really do any unhooked tricks with it yet.

Hope your leg heals up quick man!
p.s. My mate broke his leg surfing in G land the same time I broke my elbow, he was surfing a 9 foot swell and got pinched by a big one, took him 3 days to get to a hospital... He is back surfing again now though.

Broke my heel bone kiting last year. Landed bad from a jump. 12 screws, 3 plates and a bone graft! Not quite doing the tango but kiting again.

Hope that makes you feel better.

Be positive man. Time heals all wounds.
Tip: Get into the healthfood store for calcium + VitC, glucosamine, magnesium, zinc. All good for wound and bone healing.
Plenty of DVD's doesn't hurt either.

Broke mine Aug of 2008…rushed back from Sydney for the first NE of summer..first run out off the beach mis judged a wave and thought I was going to go over it but ended up hitting the lip with my knee going full speed on my 8m….decided to kite at the beach that had 100 stairs back up to the carpark.

4 nights hospital, 13 weeks on crutches watching the wind blow outside. Then 10 weeks in South Africa not being able to kite.. Kited again after 16 weeks but it was a joke..knee has never felt the same again.

Pins in the leg tonight for my mate doing downhill yesterday.

Maybe just a little bit influenced by this in NZ last week 90-100km/h - one guy in bare feet



Snapped both bones in my lower arm at 90 degrees one time and dislocated the wrist at same time, that was fun. My wrist was 1/2 way up my 1/2ed lower arm and i lifted it up to wave at the car next door while getting driven to hospital, their face was gold lol

better than ****ty tendon damage - that just goes on and on... at least you know bones will heal good and heal quick.

Ok Andrewm, Poor Relli, Markass, Kit33r and Chronic are in
You have full rights to the club like all other members. (That's Bent n eye)
Being in the club is like having an acrod parking permit, but different.
Chronic gets a loading zone pass too cause he has buggered his twice.

Bad news Bent was havin a laugh with you last week about the downhiller using an old pole as a make beleive paddle. Best off luck with the healing process.
NJ I don't think having my kneecap sticking out of the side of the leg on 2 occassions is quite the broken leg but useless non the less maybe I can hold the door open for a real acrod pass holder?

yeah well i agree with rowdy on this one, bloody skimboards can be dangerous broke my leg pretty well by simply missing with my back foot when running and jumping on to one. A 400m hop on one leg watching my foot bobble around followed by a relitivly short trip to the hospital was made all worth it when the nurse at the front desk went white after seeing the "slight" angle that my lower leg was on. It was the quickest service i have ever had presenting to hospital Went straight through

Awesome thread, I just convinced myself to be more committed to take my awesome kiting to the next level, but might stay with my risk aware approach.
Done a few sports, and the worst injury was probably a broken little finger whilst sledding back in the days..

But to chear that guy up, my mum broke her foot multiple times when getting off a bike (don't ask how), and even after a few years it has not completely recovered.

**** Max, least I didn't brake my leg I guess haha. Hopping around would have sucked.
I think the danger in it is thinking you are in water? Because I have been skating for a long time and had some really bad stacks but it's kinda like you expect it to happen so you are prepared. Where as the stack on the skim board was really nothing it wasn't even the classic slip out and land on your back (if it had I wouldn't have had time to put my arm out) it was more the fact that i fell slowly to one side and put my arm out and pushed it backwards, as i still had forward momentum it fractured 2 bones. This injury could happen pretty easily kiting n shallow water to I think.

A few new proud members entering the exclusive acrod parking permit club are
Max14,Loud, Knutt's mum and EB.
I understand from experience a ruined knee is the closest thing to breaking a leg cause it becomes immobile and your life becomes painful hell. (Especially on a crowded asian airline with bugger all leg space) The torture is for only a short period though but it is enough to grasp the pain Radman is sweating out.

Latlong you are banned for offensive comments to the froth dog and for your poor drinking skills.

OK - so last winter I wrecked my medial ligament in 35kts, then had to jog one legged the rest of the 2kms to the end of the downwinder. Then go straight to my kid's 5th birthday party and run around Scitech with a bunch of sugar fueled mini-psychos. Was pretty kn sore by the time i actually got to put my leg up.

I have fkd my thumb and 'bird' finger getting jammed into the bar/chicken loop and now have arthritis setting in nicely.

I have a nice big scar on my shin (shoulda got stitches but didn't want to stay outta the water) from coming down from a boost straddling the board. Coulda been worse I could be singing soprano!

I have a neat manly scar on my cheeck from the board flipping over in 30kts. Fair bit od claret from that one.

So can I at least be the valet parking guy for the club?? I figure you lot need someone to park your wheels and assist you and your zimmerframes into the club?
