Tom McClelland edit; pre-surgery!

[tommm]

I had synovial ostriochondromatosis...basically everytime i skated for the past 4 years my ankle would get painful and doing topsides would really hurt. it's basically a loads of balls of cartilage growing around your joint and causing friction and getting into awkward positions and causing damage and pain. so i had surgery on my ankle and am out for 8 weeks and am super pissed off. just as the good weather has come in and a brand new skatepark opened in my area! (northern ireland)

anyway i threw together a few clips i had got so i can stack some fresh ones for a proper edit when i recover.

Step 1: Press mute
Step 2: Wait about 45 seconds until skating starts
Step 3: Enjoy sick skating

and now I'll eat a banana & walnut muffin

lol, yeah i could agree with the intro, the clips are sentimental to me and those in them :P i do like the song tho

Good luck with healing up, I heard those breast implants can be a right bitch to get used to.


Skating and spots were sick, never knew Northern Ireland had cool stuff.

Good stuff. Good luck dude, and 8 weeks really isn't that bad compared to what it could be.

Fuck away off. You live in one of those apartments beside the Royal Mail office? So much for a student flat in the Holylands Tom.

Sick skating mate. Sucks about the ankle but sure the weather's set to get shite again anyway. What made you leave it so long before getting checked?

[tommm]

haha chris i'll be back to a student house next year, i'm on placement atm so i have a bit of money for a change!

i always thought it was a skating injury and originally was told it was just a sprain...lazy doctors. lucky i got it sorted tho it was worse than expected and would have stopped me from walking permanently if i left it another while!

cheers for the positive feedback. 8 weeks of filming will have to keep me satisfied
