I don’t get hurt that often. I’m not a clumsy person, nor do I live on the edge of extreme action sports. I do not BASE jump or do killer twirls on my motorbike. I hate getting punched in the face and choked out, so I don’t do mixed martial arts. I do skate, and I so surf, but when I do these things, I am in control and rarely in a life or limb threatening situation?that’s why when I f?ked my knee up last week at a skatepark, I became angry and confused. All I did was dodge some shit kid at a skatepark, I jumped off my board and landed with my knee straight, pop, crack, cry?now I’m in pain, and now I hate you all. It doesn’t help that i have a ramp in my yard that stares at me all day wondering when I’m gonna come shred. It also doesn’t help that the most consistent and perfect week of surf is happening now. It really doesn’t help when my friends and co-workers rub  proverbial salt into my wounds by bragging to me about tube sections and epic sessions at every break from here to Huntington. I will not always be bitter, and after helping with an event for paralyzed and wounded surfers I feel lucky to have my health. But for now, I will be bitter, and I will drive by the beach and scowl at you from my car, while a singe tear runs down my face. I hate you all, but I will love you again soon enough.  Please send positive vibes to my knee, I will repay you with my happiness.

Love Chris

P.S. Anybody got some advice on how to heal a hyper-extension of the knee?
