Have you ever fucked up?

[Shaolin.dk]

Hi!

Have you ever fucked up and got serious hurt on a trick?

Regards Shaolin!

[jan]

All the time. It's a given.

[Tatsumaru]

Oh yeah.

[Dovicka]

I sprained my toe doing a backflip in baggy clothes after I just learned them in grade 7 but other than that not at all.

[Dan]

I broke my toe doing a gainer in my living room when I ended up kicking the coffee table. Does that count?

[jan]

I almost broke my neck while attempting gainers on grass (slipped in cat poo, fell on my neck and passed out).

Broke both big toes, my left toe thrice.

Sprained ankles several times.

Sprained my thumb.

Tore a muscle in my left thigh.

Several muscle pulls.

Broke my nose, so it's it's all crooked inside now, and I can only breathe with one nostril at a time.

Broke my tailbone by landing on my heel very very hard. Yes, it went straight up my asscrack.




That was before I started weightlifting, mind you. Haven't had one single injury lately.

[Dan]

Way to destroy everyone elses' stories. Thank you.

[Spiral]

i have never seriously hurt myself tricking. just the odd pulled muscle and stuff.

hell, just yesterday i did a perfect gainerflash in 2 foot of snow, while wearing FULL winter combat gear (2 tshirts, fleece, Jeans full combat jacket, padded chest/back plate and combat trousers, balaclava and paintball facemask) and with an airsoft glock strapped to my leg.

and it didnt hurt me at all.

Snow-1 Me-0 :wicked:

I'm completely new to tricking, and I'm 50 pounds too heavy to do anything.

Well...?

[Dan]

I can see that happening to me rather soon.

[karatekid]

[Dan]

I landed on my neck when I fucked over a backflip. Nice signature, give my props to teef.

[jeff3]

I broke my shin on a webster when i landed because my momentum carried me over my foot which then let my toes...yes my toes bend all the way up and touch my shin...OWCH!

Landed on my head doing a round-off backtuck because it was wet... and kicked a roof doing a back tuck and landed on my neck on concrete again <-- both within the space of 5 days!

[alpha7158]

sprained ankle badly

[SydLePirate]

Chipped some pieces off my ankle.

[CusTuM]

landed on my head... if there wasn't a crash mat, i don't konw what kinda shape i'd be in.

I landed square on my head too.. .got like a spinal shock of sorts and my back ached for a couple weeks.

(Altho i probably wouldn't have tried that move without a crash pad... but ya, not the point).

[540guy]

i tore my calf doing a cali roll.....um landed on my knnes on hard wood doin a r.o double full

[Dan]

What's a cali roll?

[lak89]

i strained my neck seriously while trying a backflip before

landed flat on my stomach attemping a corkscrew

bruised my waist area attempting a front flip without mats

[Dan]

Ouch-sauce. I know what a cali roll is now though. :-P

[Dark_Blade]

Well ive broken the plate in my knee while attempting a backflip on a wooden floor, i happened to bite through my lip at that point aswell. Yes i did just say through. Altogether they took about 4 months to heal

Ive bruised the bones in my ankles doing a wallflip. Which ive only jus healed from, i did it about 4 months ago, it does take that long to heal.

Im gonna end it by saying im prone to injury. In the 16 months ive tricked, ive spent half of it healing broken bones. not to mention the days that ive had pulled muscles from tricking too much

[Dan]

What exacly is bruising a bone?

[RefleX]

*Waits for Less Than Dan to enter thread*

[Dan]

Of course....the omniscient LessThanDan knows the answer.

[Zeff]

Hmm, nothing really worth saying due to tricking, but there are plenty from martial arts. Pulled hamstrings, sprained ankles, dislocated shoulder, just general aches and pains here and there, nothing too severe though. At least not yet, hahah.

[Dan]

Soon Zeff, soon. Where in Ontario are you? I used to live in St. Cathrines, if you know where that is.

[Zeff]

My dad lived there as a kid. I live in Kitchener/Waterloo.

[Dan]

I have no idea where that is...how close to St. Cathrines, or Toronto?

[Dovicka]

its like 2-2.5 hours south, i live in welland (good old welland :|) right below it

[Charlitos]

yea, best memories from tricking :P

[TKD_Andy]

getting back to the topic....

i havent really fucked up that badly..

erm though i have:
-fucked both ankles doing roundoff layouts on numerous occasions
-Fucked both ankles learning brandys/baranis
-Fucked my back in learning 540s back in the day
-fucked my groin muscles so bad i couldnt move my leg from landing a bad 540
-Landed on my neck doing a gainer...
-got the WORST whiplash ever crashing a 1080 (two days ago!)
-Fucked my toe trying an a-twist (weeks ago, and still hurts)
-overrotated a roundoff backtuck (overrotated) and landed on my back/neck.

not alot really, nothing major though, ive never broken anything.

oh man, i remember when dave was learning btwists... he broke his hand, six weeks later when that was healed he broke his ankle doing them.

i still have the btwist ankle break clip, you can hear the crunch! :good:

[Dan]

Want to send us a link?

[Rook]

Nothing serious, but I have almost continuous bruising on my feet... they heal, then I get them back when I trick again :D

I've also done *something* to my knee bailing the last gainer in a gainerswitch-swingthru-gainer combo.

[chillywilly]

I went to Whistler for a week at the beginning of February to snowboard, and on the second day I went off a big table and I just fucked up a BS 360 indy over it. As soon as I went off the lip, I got thrown backwards, sailed like 25 feet through the air and landed on the back of my left shoulder. People say bone breaks are pretty loud, but I didn't hear a thing when my collar bone snapped. I actually felt the bone break and the broken ends slide past eachother. It was the most agonizing experience ever. The collar bone is one of the most painful bone breaks. To top it off, I had to sit in the cold snow for 20 minutes, freezing my ass off, while we waited for the ski patrol to get there. On the plus side, they thought my shoulder was dislocated so I got to try laughing gas while they jerk my arm around trying to pop it back in. It has been a month and a couple weeks since it happened, and I'm finally going back to work.

[Dark_Blade]

What exacly is bruising a bone?

yes i know that sounds very confusing but it is possible, and it is much worse than breaking a bone. When you bruise your bone, it pretty much means its really close to breaking, but not enough force was put in teh right direction for it to break. I dont know if im right about that, im just taking a guess on it. Broken bones take like 2 months max usually to heal. a bruised bone will take at least 4 months to heal, thats just to get it from not hurting when your not even using it. Then u have to wait mayb another month or 2 untill u can use it fully again. It sux, trust me, i had it in my ankle. worst place to have a bruised bone, coz it makes it hard to walk.

[carney]

Gainerd into a wall and broke my finger and landed my head square on concrete

[PanJakub]

Ibroke my nose once - i landed bhs on another persons elbow.
+ broke my toe over 8 months ago and I can bend it only halfway now ;/

[avocado]

I landed square on my head too.. .got like a spinal shock of sorts and my back ached for a couple weeks.

(Altho i probably wouldn't have tried that move without a crash pad... but ya, not the point).

Same thing, more than a week ago. Back still hurts.

[Chan]

i have had many occasions landed on my head learning b flips, broke colorbone doing fron flips in studio(front flipped into a storage unit). snaped my achillies tendon, sprained my wrists many times(continuously cracking).

[Dan]

Ibroke my nose once - i landed bhs on another persons elbow.
+ broke my toe over 8 months ago and I can bend it only halfway now ;/

Picture vaguely looks like a penis. Gross...

[Ewasiuk]

Just a couple times.

[.kiz]

broke my nose trying a double sideflip

[Anima]

I've pretty much never really hurt myself.

it took me a year for that to heal, and it still hasn't healed fully yet. i bruised a bone in both my fingers, the right one still hasn't gotten better and it's been close to a year now.

also, i twisted my lower back really bad. it seems to have healed now, but i'm still scared to b-twist.

[Ewasiuk]

Wow this thread is ancient haha.

[tuareg]

i replied to a dude that posted in 2006.


lol.

[.kiz]

haha as old as time itself!

[mogwai]

I actually was considering quitting tricks for a while back.... because of my knee

[Torre]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

[DYoo]

screwed up my knee 2 weeks ago trying a hypercork. hyper extended MCL

[Feilongtobi]

I've got a torn ACL, torn Miniscus, and not totally torn PCL.... I don't know If I can trick anymore .....I'm not a superhero like scalco haha

[Patrik]

An a-twist attempt while fatigued fucked up my knee. Was out for ~8 months. It was all kinds of shit with it.

Fucking knees FUCK

[LProctor]

I almost broke my neck while attempting gainers on grass (slipped in cat poo, fell on my neck and passed out).

Broke both big toes, my left toe thrice.

Sprained ankles several times.

Sprained my thumb.

Tore a muscle in my left thigh.

Several muscle pulls.

[del]

landed weird on my left ankle few days ago experimenting with gainers...fucking swollen like fuck now :dead:

[thereid]

All you 'injury' people are weird, I've tricked for over 2 and a half years and haven't suffered more than a couple scrapes and bruises.

[Hyourinmaru]

this thread is oooold O.o
wtf ><


but just to post..
umm.

Shin tendon inflammation 2 times.
Broken ankle (learning cork)
broken ribs (trampoline overrotated frontflip first month of tricking and a misty on snowboard)
landed on neck learning backflip (crashmats though, still hurt like hell lol)
normal muscle pulls, no biggie.
and latest, some fucking hip weirdo injury that wont go away and havnt tricked consistantly since january..

[Kimby]

i dislocated my thumb after i slipped doing a backflip yesterday. but thats a thumb that ive broken/dislocated several times so its just weak

[Masterj123456789]

Just a couple times.

you love bumping old threads!!!!:tongue:

[guamy]

Wow, all of my injuries have been in the past month.

First injury was a severely bruised heel (it almost broke from impact) from practicing cart-fronts on a mat, but landing off of the mat onto the hard wooden floor. One foot landed softly, but I smashed my other foot into the wood cuz I'm stupid :dead:.
I was pissed too, cuz it was the first one I landed.

Second injury was a broken nose from being stupid and trying a gainer off of something. First of all, I can barely backflip. I was at the gym, and decided, I'll just try a gainer. No, I crashed on my back cuz I slipped up and my knee came crashing down onto my face. Broke my nose in three different places.

I didn't even know you could break your nose in three places.

[Spyder_V]

I've had quite a bit of injuries since I started... hmm...

*insert the transition to flashback*

Pulled abs when I overtrained backtucks.
Groin strain when learning 540s.
Re-hairline fractured my heel when learning btwists on concrete.
Damaged my wrist when first trying to cork.
Dislocated my pinky toe over 10 times when learning Rudys and Double fulls (which I lost anyways...)
Face burns from landing on my face in plyo when trying to cork.
Knee damage from bailing on to knees on corks and hypertwists.
Subluxation of my right knee when trying hyper corks.
Left groin strain learning bad side 540s.
Just recently: Shin splints from tumbling on grass.
Patellar tendonitis on both knees (came originally from volleyball, but tricking brings it back).
Damaged meniscus on my left knee.
Strained calf on left leg from tumbling on grass and landing poorly.

BAMF! That's it I think.

[RAWSON]

landed on my face plenty of times lol
