Tony Hawk is on the mend after breaking his femur on Monday.
7:23 PM PST, March 8, 2022The legendary skateboarder took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a few snapshots from the hospital, as well as a pic of his x-ray, showing the severely broken bone.
"Yesterday sucked. I broke my elbow 20 years ago and managed to make a full comeback; this recovery for a broken femur will be much harder because of its severity ," Hawk wrote. "But I’m up for the challenge." "There is a strange irony that this happened on the eve of HBO releasing a trailer for Until The Wheels Fall Off, Sam Jones’ documentary about my life & career, which has a strong focus on the philosophy of how I/we do this at our age," Hawk continued. "The answer is complicated, but ultimately it’s because I have found my sense of purpose and shaped my identity through skating, and it nourishes my mental health immensely.
Hawk continued,"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 as I approached 'mid-life.
