Bought my son a Ripstick the other day and though that I would show him how to use it.
After a few good runs the board came out from under me and I landed on my arm and broke the elbow.
Now I am looking at months of recovery.
I prefer falling on water much more!
Ouch! If your going to do it, do it during winter. I was off for couple months after breaking my wrist this time last year.
Actionmax dont like to read out of action .Mate my kids all got rip sticks & i could see an injury coming so i just stay old school & ride my skate board with the kids . That said i could still break my neck triping over the bloody things in the dark
The pain will fast disappear on the right medication.
Make sure you use some pain relief that allows to you heal fast and then strengthen the arm again.
i have been prescribed:
2 x endone 3 times a day
1 x diclofenac 2 times a day
1 x oxicontin 2 times a day
it dopes me out completely.
Endone, cool stuff, got me through the first few weeks of broken ribs.
I don't remember those 2 weeks though
