Adam's Ankle.



Now, I have said in previous posts' that certain characters would be introduced throughout the Blog. This picture is my introduction of Adam. Ever since I have known the kid, he's been toast. From bmx bikes as young teenagers, to snowmobiles; it's balls to the wall, no if and's or butts...an if anyone say's "Adam, you wont do it" he simply replies "Fuck You" and does the task at hand. Wether it's skipping over water on a sled, (for hundreds of yards) , or gapping a twenty foot hill from parkinglot to skatepark, two angels sit on his shoulders. At any given day his agenda could lead him flying over the back balance bar of a 5ft. quarterpipe. You'll always know where he's been. Somewhere on the asphalt, the smell of burnt off-road tires lingers. There could be a wooded road, trail, or path being raped of its natural state as a Chevy pickup rips through mud and vegitation.

See, Adam just doesn't quit. The idea of giving up on something, no matter how feasible the idea may be, has never and will never occur to him. Take for instance this x-ray. This is Adams new ankle. The plate and five screws were cranked into his bone yesterday afternoon. Up around his parts, there's about three inches of snow. As I have come to learn through my sources, Adam was launching a step-up.for anone not firmiliar with the activities of a guy like Adam, that's a jump where the take-off ramp is lower than the actual landing. Therefor, the athlete has to go higher and stay higher than he/she would off a normal jump.

Adam- "the jump was like 5 feet tall and the landing was atleast 40 to 45 feet from the lip of the jump and it was like a 5 ft step up". The sticks always have a few good stories to provide; this will prove itself. As for now, I wish Adam a speedy recovery; Git-R-Done n' go get em' boy!
