Not sure what relevence this has to anything just thought i would share it. Hopefully i haven't fractured it i'll see how it is tomorrow, may have to go to the hospital if it carries on like this.
Beware when skating because if you fall it'll hurt.

Yeah, one of the big misconseptions about having a board is that you will not hurt yourself if you are good enough. This is very wrong. If you are good enough you will just hurt yourself less and when you first start you just need to get used to falling (learning to fall is key). Most of the time it's just roadrash that longboarders get, I'm sorry that you fucked your ankle up man, I broke my foot this summer and it sucks.
