Effort Skateboards' videographer, Josh from Belgium, or "BelgiumJosh" or "belgium", broke bones and snapped ligaments on a miniramp, last week. Effort's owner, "Big Red James" did the same deal back in the day. Just the cost of pushing skating to the N'th degree. We're all glad you Effort guys do hard work to keep Cincinnati Skateboarding moving forward. We all hope you recover as well as James did...
like multiple pins, screws. Like 8 months recovery. That's the deal... Big Red still has a plate in his ankle. Hasn't had the down time to get it removed... Hopes that Josh'll have the time.
Tough thing of it is that Josh has had operations on both of his feet, already, to remove dead bones, skating through as best he can. I watched him last april or march doing sick blunt slides to 270 out on the near 5 foot wall at Delhi, the night of the opening... he must have tried that thing like 50 times before we went to Shanghai Mama's for a great meal. I think that was the first time we met. Nice to know you, Belgium.
Prayers ascend.
