It didn't look that bad until you heard him groan after the fact. He's also said "don't let my kids see this" which is terrifying. Imagine getting so hurt the first thing you think of is the pain it will cause your family? Keep in mind Tony Hawk was forty-three at the time so it's not like he was a young dude. He also fractured both his thumb and his skull in the fall, which he didn't even notice until he was in the hospital. Any normal person sustains those injuries and they're struggling to walk. Meanwhile Tony is still out there pushing the limits. Here he is one month ago landing a 720...

It truly is Incredible. I feel like Tony is the Tom Brady of skateboarding- he's going to keep going until the wheels fall off. Not much else to say on this one other than hopefully he's able to avoid injury the rest of his career. Fingers crossed.
