Top Five List of the hour
Here's my top five all time (atleast in the past 18 years of my life that i remember) injuries:
5. Chronic shin splints from hard running and not properly treating them from the first time they came around~~~~i think it has something to do with the fact that i run as a sport and i run almost anywhere i go, i don't walk that much.
4. Stitches in my right fore-arm (this is kind of gruesome so don't read this one unless u wanna know)~~~~this one came from one of my many injuries while BMX biking through 8th and 9th grade, i was grinding on a ledge but fell and ended up sliding across the post road on my arm, fortunately the scars are much less noticable than the doctor said they would be.
3. Dislocating my shoulder durring a ski race~~~~~i nearly fell durring a Giant Slalom race at stratton but jammed my pole into the snow instead, effectively popping my shoulder out of it's socket.
2. Severe concussion durring a ski race~~~i went off of a knoll durring a super-G race going 63 mph and landed on the side of my head, cracking the helmet (the crack went from one end of the helmet to the other).
1. Breaking a rib while BMX biking~~~~i was at the skate park in stamford connecticut and was trying to transfer from the kicker of one jump to the landing of another jump, i leaned too far forward and landed on my chest, still holding the bike (hands on the bars and feet on the pedals, my back was curled back, so my chest took the full blow), and to make matters worse i had over shot the landing and landed on concrete.
