I'm out for a bit *tear*

[Scalco]

Yea, So whoever wasn't at FF gathering wasn't there to see me miserably crash a hypersnapuswipe attempt. It ended in me dislocating my right knee cap. Luckily nothing was torn, everything was just stretched out. My leg is very fragile at the moment and can very easily get pushed out of it's socket. So I'll be out of tricking for maybe 2 or 3 months I think. The doctors didn't say how long it would be so that's just an estimate I made for myself. It was recorded on film so if anyone actually wants to see it I'm sure it will be posted sooner or later.:dead:


EDIT:
Results of my MRI

1. Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.

2. There is also rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament which appears to have also avulsed from the tibia including small fragments of bone.

3.There is grade III sprain with marked distortion of the tibial collateral ligament including its distal tibial attachment with retraction of the torn fibers proximally and distally.

4. There is also grade II-III sprain of the fibular collateral ligament predominantly in its proximal aspect which appears to have striped from the femoral condyle. Distortion of the lateral capsule and posterolateral capsular ligaments is present.

5. There is a tear of the medial retinaculum. The lateral retinaculum, the quadriceps and the patellar tendons are intact.

6. There is an osteochondral fracture, anterolateral femoral condyle in the region of the sulcus. Mild contusions are noted at the posterolateral tibial plateau and extending along the posterior margin of the tibia to the adjacent medial plateau. Small bone contusion is present in the inferior pole of the patella.

7. There is a complex tear of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus including a widely separated radial component. The posterolateral, body and the anterior horn segments remain intace.

8. The medial meniscus is without a tear. There is a large hemorrhagic joint effusion and marked periarticular and subcutaneous soft tissue swelling.

......The most depressing part of all of this is I don't know how well I will heal. Meaning I don't know if I will ever be able to trick again. Right now I can still bend my knee to about 90 degrees.

I'm sure no one read all of that because I know I wouldn't if I were you lol. Well thanks everyone for the support....and I intend on coming back to trick after I heal. I just won't be throwing as crazy stuff as I used to. But I'm fine with that ^_^

[Birch]

POST NOW SO I CAN LOL

[WilliamT]

FOK

noooo =((((((((((((((

[Rook]

[Skilzat85X]

Tough gig, oh well, you deserve the rest!

[k-slash]

Cannot...find...words... *cryes self to sleep*

[Scalco]

haha no need to worry like skilzat said, I could use the rest. I'm thinking I'll just condition. I can still bend my leg so I can still work it out I just have to be careful.

[tricker_d]

Did peer pressure made you attempt it? Damn that sucks. I would hate to have an unjury that would out me out for a couple of months.

[Scalco]

nah i just felt confident in trying it out. The whole session was so hyped so I just had to lol. But it had a downfall. At least I went out trying something awesome.

[Matt K]

nah i just felt confident in trying it out. The whole session was so hyped so I just had to lol. But it had a downfall. At least I went out trying something awesome.

Yeah dude, you really killed the mood in there... Everyone was pumped as hell until you went and hurt yourself :punched:

But seriously, heal up well!

[R¡zz¡ce]

[Dragonic MiKe]

:sad:

[Urahara]

:sad:

[Dantess]

Gargh! I know how annoying dislocations are. I'm currently out for a while too because of my dislocated shoulder. Heal up soon man!! =(

[Dave C]

i was there

i had Chris DeVera flashbacks

You're a very lucky man Scalco, but I think I already told you this

[Hapkidoka]

Rest up mang and take care of your knee!

No tricks until it's completely healed, ok?

[Dark Twista]

What a deathful trick aiya!

[frankinstine]

Pretty funny really, considering how many times I've read that he never gets injured.....ever. Also for that other guy you do know that the knee is a part of the leg right?

i was just being dumb. i do know that your knee is located somewhere in your leg. i actually have two of them.

[HenryT]

Heal up fast:sad:

[Duke_Hoff]

You are a fuck Rain, Scalco youre the man.

Be careful while it gets better maaaang.

[Rook]

i was just being dumb. i do know that your knee is located somewhere in your leg. i actually have two of them.

[Charles B]

[frankinstine]

[ChrisMack]

POST NOW SO I CAN LOL

what a dick..
Get well soon scalco ! my knees are fuckd 2 :Dhah

[pete_man_man]

oh shit man, heal quick... NO NOW!!!!!!!!!

on another note:

maybe swinging it through would have been less dangerous than hypering it and, imo, far cooler looking.

snapu > s/t > boxcutter = pete_man_man jizz time

[shengoikee]

oh shit man, heal quick... NO NOW!!!!!!!!!

LOL! that would be awesome....

:sad: sucks how you've hurt yourself at this time (during a learning phase) but i know you'll probably take measures to train even smarter than before. then we're all doomed haha....

[Scalco]

oh hellz yea man I can still work the leg out cuz nothing was torn. I'm coming back with hulk legs times 4 :wicked:

[nightak]

Haha you already have Hulk legs Lvl. 4 :ogre:

I hope it'll heal fast enough. *Waiting for the video*

Maybe you can work on your new sampler in that time-out ^_-

[Luygeenios]

I'm sorry for you, Scalco. Injuries are hell. Get well soon. All the best! ;)

[Vaughnya]

Man, when i saw your leg bend to the side i was like THIS CANT BE REAL, i thought you broke it for sure...gives me goosebumps when ever i remember that.

get well soon bro and hope to trick with you again!

[shengoikee]

this really sounds horrible :agony:

[Charles B]

Man, when i saw your leg bend to the side i was like THIS CANT BE REA

sounds like wat happened to me last year -_-

cept mine was because a fat kid tackled it...

your estimate sounds accurate, scalco... mine took a few months to heal.

good luck

[Scalco]

I'm going to see the orthopedist tomorrow. We'll know exactly what happened and how long I'll be out for sure then. ^_^

[cepopeye]

Crap! Crap!... Crap!

[Ryan Sas]

nah i just felt confident in trying it out. The whole session was so hyped so I just had to lol. But it had a downfall. At least I went out trying something awesome.

Yeah... I tore my ACL on a 540... you destroyed your knee on something cool. Anyway, have a speedy recovery dude, do the physical therapy if they prescribe it (if they dont, look some up). Also, if they didn't actually give you an MRI, insist on one, I had a "dislocated patella" too... just sayin... haha

Peace and much love

[brandonn]

this is seriously tragic....heal well and heal promptly mike!

[Nathan.P.]

RIP =) haha no no youll be back and well rested ready to learn more crazyness

[MasterSyrup]

Yo Scalco sucks you ate the ground at FF, But man I hope you heal up fast...but enjoy the down time in the mean while.

[Scalco]

Ok well I got my MRI and it turns out we were completely wrong. It turns out I've torn almost every ligament in my knee. ACL, meniscus (sp) and something else. So yea, I really am out for a bit. Most likely I will need surgery. And possibly........won't be able to go back to tricking for a waaaaayyy long time.

[Luygeenios]

[jumphigh]

Have you got it on tape? Cause what kind of imapct that should've been, that could cause this all crap :dead:

[keven]

fuck, now I somehow wish I hadn't countinued reading the thread,.... Hope you get fixed. All the possible best to you, Scalco.

[peterh]

NOOOOOOOOOOO! that is maddening! sending love your way man!
god! that was so fucking brutal to watch! i was so relieved when you came back saying it was minor! it turns out you lied! *runs crying*

[cyrys]

are you ever going to try it again?

[Scalco]

are you ever going to try it again?

.....wtf do you think?


Oh and now I have the exact details on what really happened to my knee. I'll just warn you all right now, my knee is pretty much destroyed at the moment. Surgery is a definite and honestly if I wasn't in shape this would have been a lot worse. OK here are the details.

1. Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.

2. There is also rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament which appears to have also avulsed from the tibia including small fragments of bone.

3.There is grade III sprain with marked distortion of the tibial collateral ligament including its distal tibial attachment with retraction of the torn fibers proximally and distally.

[TiVo]

Dam...that's horrible :dead: You should at least make a Pre-injury sampler to commemorate yourself lol.

[Willie B]

Deng bro...I hope you heal up good. Just take it easy. You really did luck out which is hella good because if you woulda had a tear it coulda been almost half a year you woulda had to be out. I'm glad your ok. Hope to chill with ya soon. =D

[Zeff]

That sucks man! I have no idea what most of that stuff is, but it sounds terrible...hope you heal up well bro. :ouch:

[brandonn]

[Duke_Hoff]

I honestly don't lie or exaggerate to you when I say that that is the shittiest thing I've read on this website in a while Scalco.

Staaaay niiice man.

[Tony Nguyen]

get well soon kid

[NOT Muscle Man]

i wanna chill with ya today, so gimme a call

[NOT Muscle Man]

update::

mike scalco has a hot physical therapist, therefore i will also be attending his physical therapy sessions in order to give you all updates on how he is improving

[Scalco]

It's true she's really really banging.

[frankinstine]

nice. at least you dont have to do phys. therapy with an ugo. thats like getting kicked in the dick after you got hit by a car.

[Crazy Max]

I think it's fair to say that you pushed the limits like nobody else, crossing a line that few would even contemplate, let alone jump across. Few people in life are willing to put it all on the line for something they want, knowing the potential sacrifices and consquences-both good and bad. But you went on anyway, and crossed into territory nobody was willing to venture into. You put everything on the line and nailed that hyper snapuswipe; the most destructive and dangerous trick to ever have been landed. It really sucks that your one-off attempt destroyed your knee, and may jeopardize your ability to trick in the future. However, the fact that you were willing to put it all on the line for something that you wanted, earns a lot of respect. In my opinion, that's the most admirable trait a person can ascertain; a trait that commends a lot of respect in itself.

Heal up and take it easy! Hopefully something good will come out of this for you.

[frankinstine]

it bummed me out when scalco said in one of his posts that he wouldn't try such crazy stuff anymore, i undesrtand why, but that was a lot of the fun of watching him. he threw crazy tricks and actually landed them.

[Ryan Sas]

It's true she's really really banging.

I just wanna point out that this was post number 69 in the thread. Good work sir! Oh and I'm jealous, I totally had a dude for pt...


EDIT:

So i just read through all that happened to your knee and my analysis is so:

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!!! DAMMIT SCALCO!!!

Thanks for that man it means a lot. And I mean when I get back sure I won't be able to do really advanced and crazy tricks for the most part, but I'll still be able to trick. And there are plenty of great tricksters out there that don't even do really advanced tricks. I'm gonna be one of those tricksters that does bitchin combos and really unique stuff. I can see it now. haha

[xombi]

Aww man! I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!

That video where you landed it... that looked friggin' nasty already!

Take care man! You're gonna make a comeback with a brand new hulk-leg x)
