[quote=Whiskey Business] Shit! I think you win because I'm sure that was immediate pain. My situation was kinda similar, except when I went to slide for a turn that was much narrower than I anticipated, a patch of gravel was waiting for me. Locked my board up and sent me flying before I could even bail, and when I tried to land on my feet, didn't realize how fast I was going and basically crumpled my ankle as I tumbled around like a rag doll. I didn't feel it for like a minute or so (probably cause of shock/adrenaline) but it sure as hell hurt when I finally did. Corrective surgery sounds like the way to go if it bugs you, but it'll make for a nice ice breaker in the mean time. [/quote] Surprisingly enough, I was laughing along with my mates and tried to walk it off...eventually we had to call an ambulance. Haha! Oh man, that's nasty. I never did longboarding but locking up on a skateboard sucked just as bad. I bet you had a few nice grazes as well from the pavement? Yeah, I'll wait until I have the money first and when I'm able to drive a car. I'm on a motorbike atm so it'd be inconvenient to break my hand again just for cosmetic reasons.
