Recent minor injury has set me back to where skateboarding is uncomfortable and painful. I know many of you have had more serious/long term injuries that have prevented skating for months on end, and for someone where skateboarding took up a lot of my time (besides work/school/etc), how did you stay sane? Besides minor rehab, what are some good ideas to constructively waste time? BTW, it is tendonitis of the knee cap, any tips for healing??? Thnx slap fam.

I honestly don't even remember what I was doing last time I was injured (must've blocked out the memories), I think I was drinking/getting high a lot, don't do that!
I'd recommend painting, tap into your inner templeton, or gonz.

I just came off a minor injury (2 weeks off the board) & as much as I said to myself I wouldn't fall into the same old rut of smoking way too much weed, surfing Slap compulsively and playing Skate 3 all day, I must confess that was exactly what happened. Again.

Its just one of those things. Art, work out, drink, shoot pool, pick up girls or guys, or just whatever your into. Your best best is to heal up the kneecap, but if your still young, Im sure you'll find more fun shit to do. I recovered for 4.5 months from a skull fracture and broken collarbone. I quit drinking, took my meds and healed up. Was bored as fuck and outta work, but my main concern was to let my brain stop bleeding. Def had some cabin fever as they call it. I watched all 7 seasons of Archer 3 times and walked the dog. There is a college beach volleyball courts next to my apartment, so I lurked there with my dog till they kicked me out.

Word life.
I would suggest buying some books, good ones. Read those. Watch some movies.
And if it doesn't hurt too much, walk. Walk as much as you can.

if you have a crew you could always buy a camera.

there was already a thread about that
couple of months/years ago. and yeah
what moe said was basically consensus
lay around the house and jerk off all day

depends on the level of injury; if not that bad going out on my bike helped a lot with the stress of thinking about skating... but when I get really fucked up, THIS:

I blew my back out really bad in early September. I landed myself in the hospital for 24 hours, and bed ridden for a week and then on light duty for two months at work. I really didn't have energy for much else except Netflix and light reading. Once I was able to sit upright, I started collaging like mad. Art, reading and catching up on entire series of shows I'd never watched really helped. Kept my mind occupied. You've gotta rest and take it easy as much as possible. It took me six months to be able to skate again. So hyped to be back after that long.

you like music? learn to play an instrument. you'll suck at first, but once you learn a few basics you'll suck a little less. some used gear from the pawn shop and some youtube tutorials are all you need.
-
Lay off the booze, eat slightly better, beat your meat, play skate 3 then get itchy to skate and once rolling around and trying a trick or 2 realize that it wasn't worth it, play guitar, cry, listen to the Smiths, and binge watch tv
-
Focused my fibula in early February and I've only been walking for about a month. I've mainly just been watching a ton of skate videos, playing guitar, and biking now that I'm able to. If you have other hobbies I'd delve into them a bit deeper. Read some books; spend more time with people you care about; learn something new; clean up the house. Just keep yourself busy in a constructive way.

Ive been wanting to do this for years. I am absolutely terrible on every instrument, and been kicked off the drums and guitar to be replaced by an 8 year old. Cant even make it through a Ramones song. However, I still want to do it. Ever use that Guitar Smith game on Xbox? One day I'll try again though...

I'd have to play Ramones songs at half speed to make them sound even close to decent. The songs are simple, but playing like Johnny is not.
All you need to do is keep trying. Learn to play lots of different types of music, not just what you like to listen to. I never used that Rock Smith game, but I've tried that app called yousician. It's kind of fun, but I didn't really see it teaching me how to play guitar as much as it was teaching me how to play a guitar video game. Like as soon as I turned it off, I wouldn't remember anything I just played and it gave me nothing to use to create my own stuff.
The YouTube guys like Marty Music, Justin Guitar and Andy Guitar all have tons of easy beginner videos and that's where I've learned the most from. I'd say try to learn the open chords, the minor and major pentatonic scales and power chords and you'll have enough skills to keep you busy for a while.

If you are going to school at the time, I seriously suggest just exploring a topic through the school database. Find something you are interested in and learn something new. Those databases like ebscohost rule.

tinder, film phone footy of your friends, write a story, start a journal, learn photoshop, see what your ex is up to, clean your coffee machine, craigslist a single-speed, call your mom
on music, a low end Squier fender can run you like $150, a yamaha copy even cheaper, match it with a practice amp, and learn tabs whenever the theory stuff gets boring. that's how i got into bass. jamming with a drummer is like bombing a hill or something - amazing

I would say get a hold of a good supply of mushrooms or acid, that seems like it would be better than tons of masturbation.
-
All of these suggestions should be added to a base layer of constant masturbation. That is automatic.
-
same stuff you do when not injured, except skateboarding
-
Alright yall. 1 week into at least a month off as prescribed by the doctor. What are some good things to do other than kill myself?
-
Just watching the last of the nice fall days pass by… It will be winter when I get back on the board.

I've been injured recently. Painted my house. I wouldn't recommend it but it won me some points with the wife. Use the time to lay ground work for future missions. Get shit done you'd normally procrastinate.
-
Smoke weed and chill. Netflix and YouTube
Dont fuckin drink if you want to heal(within reason)
Read books, sleep alot
Physio/rehab the fuck outta your knee so it comes ba k stronger
Listen to shitloads of music
And whoever said take a day to just eat fuckloads of shitty food, definitely do that too

coming off a nagging MCL injury and extended unemployment...
Do: Rehab, music, creative outlets, learn to cook, photo/video, golf, video games, hike/camp, Netflix, reddit/slap, catch up with friends and non skate stuff you've been putting off, work, read, anything really. Just do something and get outside
Dont: excessive drugs and drinking, pile out, re injury, stagnate, get addicted to video games and TV, waste precious time, get depressed, feel sorry for yourself, get fat

HGH (not a joke)

Do yall watch skate videos when you’re injured? I wanna watch GX1000 but it might just make me mad

Stay home all day, watch Scarface 50 times, eat a turkey sandwich, and have sex all fucking day. Then dress up like a clown, and surprise kids at schools. Then take a dump in the back of a movie theater, and just wait until somebody sat in it. Hear it squish. That's funny to me,it'll be funny to you. Then paint, and read, and play violin. Climb the mountains, and sing the songs that you'd want to sing.
Repeat until able to skate again.

Try to hang out with your friends as much as you can, staying home is just depressing when you're injured and can't skate.
If you have a camera and you still can push a little without feeling pain just go film your homies, in case you can't just take pictures, anyway stay involved with them.
Unfortunately with tendonitis there's not much that you can do besides resting, but and "active resting" is still better than staying all day on the couch watching videos or playing videogames.
P.S.: sorry, just seen that it's an old thread, hopefully you're back fully skateboarding again.

I'm checking out a modern dance performance, suriprisingly good. Its intermission and i dropped my phone and felt super decrepit trying to get it with my newish acl. Whoever said driving your partner crazy, yeah, ive been there lately

Watched it. Amazing but didn’t have the effect of making me want to skate because I would never try any of that shit lol. So I’m good

I still watch videos while hurt, it motivates me to do more physiotherapy/rehab.

BTW, it is tendonitis of the knee cap, any tips for healing??? Thnx slap fam.
I had severe tendonitis in my right patella tendon for over a year from skating too much. Made skating practically impossible.
For me the key to get healthy was to strengthen the thigh muscles around my knee. This basically makes all the strain shift to the muscles, away from the tendon.
By far the best exercise is to do bulgarian squats (check youtube) with heavy dumbells in your hands. Lean forward so that you feel all the pressure on the quad muscles by your knee, not on your hamstrings and ass. You want to get the tip of the quad muscle super strong, as this will make the inflamation of the tendon go away.

If you’re really into music, try learning a new instrument. Do some cool DIY projects. I make instruments and cigar box amps, among other things when I’m injured. You could also learn about filming and film your friends, that way you’re still part of the session. Make a DIY spot. Just learn a new skill or work on whatever you’re passionate about. If I don’t have multiple projects going at the same time I start losing my mind.

Day 82: I’ve entered the phase where I’m getting delusional about my abilities on a skateboard and am planning out all the amazing tricks I’m gonna film when I’m back. Can’t wait til reality slaps me if the face and I can’t kickflip.
Doc appointment where I could potentially get the ok to skate in 2 weeks. It’s been a mild winter so far, only snowed once and not too cold. I’m pretty convinced that if the doc gives me the ok to skate I’ll high five him, walk out of the office, go setup a new board and then the city will get buried in snow until March.
I shouldn’t complain though at least I got hurt for the winter not summer

Go check out, fix up, or build some spots to skate. That way once you're rolling again you'll have some new options.

Film your homies while you're hurted !

Trying to cook and trying to learn guitar are my go to downtime/injury things to do
Besides being productive
-
I'm not injured thank God but the weather has been crazy here so I've been cooped up pretty much the same as being injured. I dunno what to say. I have a gym membership that helps.
-
Guitar, videogames, more hours at work. Physical therapy or gym if you can
-
Bro hit up your local zumiez and get some ass.
-
Jerk off, cry and violently stretch everything you hurt until it doesn't hurt anymore.
