The most famous skateboarder of all time posted an X-ray on social media Tuesday of a badly broken femur.
In his IG post, Hawk talks about making a comeback after busting his elbow 20 years ago, then mentions the facts that this time, a recovery will be that much more difficult because it's his leg — and because of how old he is. He said, though, that he's"up for the challenge."
Hawk went to talk about how, in his new HBO documentary,"Until the Wheels Fall Off," attention is paid to how he's able to keep making eye-popping moves at his age. "It’s because I have found my sense of purpose and shaped my identity through skating, and it nourishes my mental health immensely," Hawk writes."I’ve said many times that I won’t stop skating until I am physically unable. A broken leg — with plenty of hardware — will probably be the biggest test of that creed. I’ll be back … maybe not at full capacity but I resigned to that notion years ago. ..."Surprisingly, Hawk never mentions how he broke his leg.
And how's he doing now? Here's a clue: Minutes after informing the world about the threat to his skateboarding future, the Xtreme sports star had the presence of mind to put up another post, this one of his wife, Catherine Goodman, and daughter, wishing a"Happy International Women’s Day to my beautiful, strong, funny, talented, empathetic girls that make the world a better place in countless ways.
