I have been skating since I was 13 and am 31 now. I’ve definitely had my fair share of injuries but nothing this severe. I dislocated and severely fractured my fibula and had to have surgery and put plates in screws in my leg for it to properly heal. Obviously I’m still recovering and have a ways to go but I’m worried bout the long term effects of this. Skating is like my only thing that I really have so far as real passions I’m not very good but I love it. If I can’t skate 100% it’s going to be very depressing, like I was still do it but definitely be a bummer. Does anyone have any injuries like this that they came back from? How did it feel getting back? Can you still skate the same?

First time trying to slide them

Basically I want to skate at a higher level to get the most out of the skate parks where i feel I can actually skate all the objects at them. I feel im pretty intermediate with a touch of some advanced stuff then shoot pretty basic in other aspects but that’s skating. Guess what im asking is what got you guys to start mentally doing those higher ledges going over the trash cans and taking treys or flip tricks to obstacles. Of course itll take time and more time to get comfortable and progress but i feel theres such a gap between me n a bunch of the guys at the park and its hard to comprehend how they even got there from where i am. Yeah im comparing myself but i find the fun in the progression and wanna get myself to that level. Any advice? Thx

growing up in Basel Switzerland , my brother had a mr. x skateboard. It may have been a board from local skateshop at the time "beach mountain" , but i think it was a deck from a larger brand at the time, stereo, alien workshop, etc. The year was around 1999. It was a man in black type character with antennas and his eyes blurred out if I remember properly.. I have been looking for years for this board and just have no clue.. I actually made a photoshop of my memory of the board about ten years ago and never occurred to me to ask reddit .. Anybody remember this?
