We were informed that a local skater suffered a severe head injury while skateboarding this past week. He was in the ICU for 3 days and is still in the hospital. He ended up fracturing his temple bone and has bleeding in his brain. Our thoughts are with him and his family.

Skateboarding is an extreme sport which by definition, means ‘extremely’ difficult or dangerous. That equates to extreme injuries. These instances remind us of the extremes we take every day because of a sport we love. Moral of the story….please be responsible and safe out there and wear your helmet.
