My bone never really lined up again.
So I had to have it reset.
I had to have a second surgery eight months later.
And once I had that surgery and realized that it all could be taken away from me so quickly like that, it gave me such a deeper appreciation for even being able to do it on a basic level.
So I think that's the answer.
It wasn't just the day I broke my leg.
It was the moment I realized that it's not going to heal properly.
And I have to go through this again.
I remember, honestly, I remember my first ollie after that, when I had strength in my leg to snap up and get my board.
It was like, oh yes.
And then ever since then, like every ollie is a gift.
I never did, no.
I mean, probably that benefited me in a lot of ways because I would be willing to push limits that other people would consider consequences.
I mean, Sam Jones did a whole documentary about me, basically, that's not really considering consequences, but I'm much better at that now.
I mean, of course I know that anything can go wrong, but I always was confident enough with my skill set and cavalier enough that I was... I just didn't... I wouldn't let that enter my mind because when you do...
That's the future.
That's what's going to happen.
When you allow these worst case scenarios to come in, those are the ones that will play out.
Yeah, I mean, when I first figured out the loop ramp, in no way did I think, oh, I might fall from the top and break my pelvis.
because if i thought that i would never try it um and i figured it out i definitely got i got rocked along the way um or mtv said what kind of stunt do you want to do i said i want to jump between two buildings and they set it up downtown la two seven-story buildings and i not once thought what if something happens because i just it wasn't it wasn't gonna happen
