Long time lurker first time poster. 45 turning 46 in a month. Been skating since 1985, died down a little in the 90s after I lost my sponsors and went to art school. Picked it up seriously again in late 90s until the mid 2000s. Last 6 years have been at it again. Now last month I fell like a stone to my hip and cracked the femural neck at my hip. Basic broken hip and I got three screws. Doctor said today I should never skateboard again. The screws are in for life and if I wreck them I am in trouble. At the moment I am just working on walking again let alone skating but this was some harsh news. Anyone ever get this sort of advice from a doctor?
Harsh indeed. I can offer nothing other than sympathy and hope that you can at the very least roll again.
Thanks... I just hope I can still do rock and rolls and grinds in a bowl again (me in the IG video) Nothing more than that is needed. I can be chill and stay within my ability. I think I just have to be more careful and be in touch with my condition physically a little more. I was tired and stiff when I fell so hard. I suppose, In future I have to be more cautious but also more aware of energy levels.I dont want to stop skating bowls!
