I just spent all weekend in Knoxville, TN at the 3rd MasterCraft pro wakeboard tour.  I was riding in the qualifying round on Saturday when I slipped up on the Transfer Box and shinned myself.  I thought it was nothing more than a little bump until I felt a pretty big gash on my shin.  Travis Moye, the pro tour boat driver came to my rescue and picked me up and took me to shore.  Rusty M was there to help me off the boat and the medics sat me down and assess the situation.  As I was lying there, Rusty was holding my leg in the air and was asking me if I was going to finish my run or not.  He talked me into it while the medic was trying to talk me out of it.  So I got the medic to wrap my leg good and I limped back to the boat and went off to finish my run.  I ended up riding decent despite the prior incident and I ended up walking through my heat along with Andrew Adkison.  It was a good feeling to get back out there and keep it together after an incident like that.

On a side note, a buddy of mines father-in-law is a Cardiologist at the hospital, and he stitched me right up.  So unfortunately I didnt get to spend hours in the emergency room, but I did get first class service in the hospital.
