Snap Foot

So, I was saying I got injured. Here's a shot of my foot when I was waiting to see a doctor in an Emergency room on Bromont, Quebec. Check this out:


As you can see, my ankle and foot looked f*&@#d to put it mildly. Your probably asking, 'what the hell happened?' right?! Well, me and the boys were on a biking trip up in Bromont, Quebec, which has some awesome trails, not to mention an insane bike park. We had planned for 3.5 days and had just about gotten through the last day when we were ripping down a trail and decided to hit the bike park in the rain (more like light mist). I was hitting everything nice and decided to hit the road gap, hit it with good speed and landed it big. But I was going pretty fast and had a zesty moment trying to hit the bridge for the next section... hit the bridge and was carrying my speed nicely and decided I was going to hit this 20/25ft table. Hit the table and both my feet slip off my pedals - I managed to get my right foot back on, but ended up landing and my left foot slammed into the ground and twisted inward. I stayed on the bike but knew something wasn't right so I stopped before the next jump and got out of the way. When I tried to put my foot down, I dropped in pain and new I had at least broken something. Managed to make my way down the hill on one pedal and then pretty much collapsed in the medical center, the pain was getting to me and I knew something was messed up pretty bad (as you can see from the pic above). I ended up in the below after 2 shots of morphine and the doctor saying I just broke a bone in my foot (although my foot did hurt near as bad as my ankle - more on that later). This is after the nurse said to me "we may have to rebreak the foot/ankle, it doesn't look good). All things considered, I'm glad that did not need to be done.

No crutches, so the boys had to carry me!

Anyways, long story short, the doctors didn't pay attention to my ankle (despite my attempts at asking them about it), and started physio 1.5 months later to find out I had 2 tendons detach from the bone. That would explain why I still can't walk right. So no physical activity for me, it will be a long road to recovery - I'm hoping sooner rather than later.

In the mean time, I've tried focusing on music more - I've been liking dubstep stuff lately (which is a mix of jungle and techno/breaks really). Mostly been loving the deep twisted bass coming from the genre. Trying to emulate that in the studio has been a lot of fun and resulted in some interesting productions (M-Step'n, Broken LFO, I Will Go (to the bass), Game Changer). Also picked up some new gear which I'll talk about in some future posts. So, as you can see, I'll be focusing primarily on the music side of things with the odd biking pic and video thrown on to let you see what the guys have been up to.
