Stoney Hawk the Adventure

Jim and his good buddy Russ decided that skateboarding could be a great way to bond with their sons. It was quite a rush. Brady was coaching and Jim was doing pretty good until he decided he needed more speed and ripped his achilles tendon in half. I did have my camera at the skate park but I was on the other side of the skatepark when it happened. I did document the ER visit. These pictures make it look much better than the diagnosis...surgery, a 98% tear. Anytime Russ and Jim are together they make it fun. It just so happened that our ER split guy was a friend of Russ', Daniel. Ironically, he was also on shift weeks later when we came into the ER for blood clots. Jim has a high threshold for pain, this is even before they gave him pain killers.
