I tore mine in 1997 at 22 years old. I had a great surgeon, and I did the pt like crazy. I’ve been snowboarding, skating, running marathons, all kinds of stuff since then. You’ll get over it and keep rocking.
@@themanager3406 physical therapy is the most important thing, and this is where I have seen my friends fall off and had a bad experience. You have to attack the PT with intensity.
It's wild Nyjah's never broken a bone while taking the sport to the level he has. I know people who can hardly ollie that have broken their arm on a board lol. Recover quickly homie, no doubt you'll be back better than ever in a few months!
I've broke both my ankles and it sucks but ligament tears suck even worse. It's been like 11 years since I tore my ankle ligaments and to this day I still can't kickflip bc I can't roll my ankle far or hard enough.
Thrasher is a company operating under capitalism trying to maximize its profit. They need content to sell advertisements. They get content by skaters trying to get soty. Giving that title away would mean less content the following year by that particular skater. Less content means less ads and less money. “Nothing person, it’s just busyness” - ice Cube This is just a example of how capitalism creates perverse financial incentives. This isn’t really that bad when considering the extremes like knowingly lying about tobacco or lead products on the markets just because it’s in their financial interests. Monsanto or Exxon mobile have a financial incentive to put dangerous products on the market and lie about the dangers they know and are withholding that information from the public. Exxon knew in the 70s that CO2 would be an issue but they are a company operating under capitalism that wants to maximize its profit even if that means dismissing ethics or morality. Principles become a liability under capitalism. A competitor without those principles will outcompete you. It becomes a race to the bottom. Those worse around us will be rewarded for undesirable behavior. There is a reason why insulin cost 600 a vile and trump NFTs sold out. This is the capitalist nightmare that we were all born into. Our cities and towns are designed to serve it not us. It doesn’t end there. Our lives are structured to serve it. What we wear, what we do, where we go, for 40-60 hours a week after being raised in a work simulation. It doesn’t have to be like this What is profitable is usually not the right thing to do so we now live in a hell of our own creation. So what if the world is brutal and the concept of good and evil is just a human construct that doesn’t really exist. Still choose to be good especially when it’s easy because we need more compassionate people. It’s like capitalism is a excuse for “civilized gentlemen” to commit atrocities like slavery or overthrowing a democratically elected leader by funding a military coup that is sympathetic to American business interest who then go on to set up a banana republic. You know how when you look real close at a painting you can’t see the big picture. It’s the same thing with the mainstream society we were all born into. It seems normal because we are stuck in this paradigm. Clean food, water, energy, shelter, education, healthcare and relationships with friends and family are “basic necessities” These are real. Everything else voluntary. You could choose to skate or make intercontinental ballistic missiles and stuff envelopes with junk mail. Ok, last thing Most labor under capitalism is a form of coercion. Our basic needs are withheld for money. We must work to get this money. If we don’t won’t than we can not get what we need to survive. We have more houses than homeless people. We throw away food while people go hungry. Our productivity has surpassed our ability to pay for the goods being produced. So why then have people work jobs just for the sake of working? The things needed to survive exist so any issue that prevents us from using these things is artificial.
Yo Jah, it would be nice if you do a video on how you heal from your injury, how you stretch in general, how you recover and what your daily exercises are. I think we could learn a lot from a top athlete like you. 🙏🏻 ❤
Nyjah and his crew should definitely consider producing and dropping some real shit… Create some genuine, in-depth content on his rehabilitation and journey back to the top… Show the side you don’t often see in skateboarding - the injuries, and all that goes with it. Seeing his true grit, determination, strength, maturity and mentality that he has as a pro skater - shed some light on the life of a professional skateboarder. He’s got the crew, resources, creatives, sponsors, top healthcare to make it happen. You’ve seen this sort of production done in other sports- footballers (soccer), basketball, tennis etc. on Sky Sports, ESPN or on team behind the scenes videos. But Nyjah has the creative recourses to do this from a skater’s POV, and do something new and creative. Seeing tangible progression: from surgery to the day he first steps back on his board, to the plethora of tricks he’ll have to relearn. There’s so much there that’ll make his comeback story so interesting. With the true professional Nyjah is, you know not cutting corners, he’s putting his all, - 100% and no less - into this battle. Nyjah has the discipline, determination, mentality of a true sporting great.
I'm 23, Been skating for 18 years. Tore my ACL and MCL in January. Definitely the hardest thing I've ever gone through, physically and mentally. The first few months after surgery are incredibly painful. The worst part is the grinding to build strength from the atrophy that occurs from resting. I know Jah will come back from this an absolute beast. His work ethic for skateboarding is incredible.
i tore my acl one month after you and you’ve been a big inspiration to me and motivation! seeing your ig stories of your progress helps so much! thanks bro!
As a person that tore both of my ACL’s and lateral meniscus playing college football from that fall I wouldn’t have thought it was an ACL tear either. One thing about this injury is it will really show you who you are and if you truly love what you do. You will be better then before bro. Keep going🤙🏾
He’s not skater of the year. He’s a once in a generation, definitely skater of the Decade! He doesn’t need soty. It’s obvious he’s the best rn and possibly the goat.
Yo Nyjah, I tore my ACL too this year about 2 weeks before you and everything you said in this video I can relate to! Wishing you continued strength and positivity during your recovery! Know you are still inspiring others even if you're not on the board!
This Years "the people champion award goes to Nyjah. Maybe Rob D can set up a legit people champ award. I'm 40 I never thought Skate handrails would catch up to the rails rollerbladers would skate. You see this kid doing things at a level unimaginable in the early 90s. He deserves to be the Jordan of street skating regardless of what some dirty hipster in Brooklyn thinks
Big bro I’m a PT student at USC rn, stoked to see you taking your treatment seriously. The more you give to PT the more it gives back to you!! Keep up the good work and speedy recovery
Thank you for sharing your story. I have a huge disappointment that just happened to me in my life and I did not know how I was gonna go through it, but listening to your story I feel I can be grateful for where I am and take things day by day and make the most of my time where I am at. Somethings are out of our control and we just have to focus on what we can realistically do. I hope that your recovery goes well and maybe at the end of the summer we will see you cruising again. Peace out brother.
Literally i just got back home from the hospital after acl and meniscus reconstruction. Definitely feeling what you feel about this injury except i dont fractured my tibia. I ride bmx but youre one of a few skaters I always watch and look up to. Hopefully you can recover ASAP and get back to the game stronger, man!
Nyjah - Wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery from ACL. I tore my ACL 22 years ago due to skateboarding. It is an excruciating pain and recovery. Thank God I feel better but my knee is not the same and will never be the same regardless whatever doctors or people say. Any lateral movements I make playing sports or pushing my skateboard is uncomfortable and weak. Don't forget about change of weather may affect your knee. Anyhow, I highly suggest wearing a brace when skateboarding or playing any sport. It may look ugly or not cool looking but trust me, it will help protect your knee from future injuries and skate with confidence. Look forward to your fast and strong recovery and see you shred the streets again soon. God bless.
Glad to hear it’s going well. I look forward to being terrified by another Nyjah part (I mean, damn … the level/size of the tricks your doing … it’s scary just watching that stuff). Good luck sir!!!
I’m waiting to get my surgery, I know exactly how you felt the moment I was told my ACL was torn I kinda broke down.. I’ve been just trying to stay positive that I’ll get to skate again soon. Even if it’s just riding and some flip tricks I’d be happy with that. Hearing your story has me feeling better about everything. I thought I was the only one to freak out. You’re come back will be Epical! You had the best part out this year man. 💪🏽🙏🏽🤘🏽 rest up champ!
Just got surgery done on my ankle and I feel your pain dude. Not being able to skate is driving me insane. Rest up and take the time to heal bro, best wishes. Also, don't worry about soty, thrasher played you fr. Focus on the sponsors who appreciate and support you.
Just got my ACL Reconstruction + Meniscus repair done 3 days ago. I grew up inspired to be like you Nyjah. Excited to get the road to recovery started! We will be back STRONGER than before from this. Trust. ✌🏽💯
I'm 43 years old and I can say you've been around forever. I remember you being a badass little kid skater while I was an adult that wasn't very good. You're an OG that's been ripping for years.
I grew up at vista skatepark the original park. skating was my first love. it hit me hard when u said that. Only other skaters would understand. Thankz for sharing. Hoping the best 4 u.
Thanks for sharing what happened, this is probably pretty helpful as that injury isn't really that uncommon in skateboarding. Heal up bro, looking forward to you being back on the board. ✊🏾
you are not only one of the best ever but also one of the most fit skaters ever. as you said, being off your board will be the hardest part but you got this - just plan all the gnarly tricks/spots you will be able to hit once you recover and keep hitting those PT seshes. maybe we will get a DJ Nyjah project dropped during the downtime? also the storytime was nice and the vlog was nice - you could legit drop videos of stories or even just weekly/monthly vlogs of recover/daily life and i'd watch it!
I personally love your skating and personality. You seem humble for a person that will go on skateboarding history with golden letters. You deserved the SOTY award 100%. Looking at the video parts and the tricks with no bias, you deserved it. You are my SOTY. Btw your nollie bs bigspin bordslide was my favourite trick in Need That. That was very creative imo.
I've had three torn ACL's and two knee surgeries - you took it like a champ Nyjah! I've tried to explain to people, it's such gnarly pain, makes you nauseous type of pain
When everything goes right,it takes 2 years for NBA players to get back to their old self. Never completly 100 % but they can get close. In many cases though,the player is never the same. I hope Nyjah comes back stronger then ever.
Sorry to hear, I tore my meniscus doing a 360 bigspinheelflip down an eight. Skate ending injury for me, I can still ride tho... keep it up tho u da best. Grow out your dread again plz in honor of my meniscus.
Tore my ACL twice. Got surgery the second time. The pain is unreal but you will definitely heal bro just gotta give it time. A full year with ice and physical therapy will set you straight. Never underestimate the power of a jump rope 🤝 God bless.
I had a pretty similar injury where I tore my ACL in half completely (which they say is actually better than a partial tear as it’s easier to repair), tore my MCL and thigh muscle and I chipped a bone somewhere in there too lol.. Bro when you spoke on that pain I literally felt it all over again, I can’t imagine being in more physical pain than that and I’ve had several broken bones before as well as broken ribs (those fkn hurt too!).. God Bless bro I’m sure with the team you got as long as you’re hitting those PT’s you’ll be back better than ever, I never have pain in mine at all though it does get sore when it rains outside.. Throw Session on the PC and hit some virtual rails while that ting heals up!
As far as I know most of professional skaters after having surgery they came back even harder then before , I think they crave so much for skating that they don’t care anymore and they just go wild , hope you recover quickly and all the best
Glad to hear the surgery went really well man! I honestly felt the same way you felt about surgery lol, i broke my left arm in 7th grade playing “smear the queer” on the side field at a football game and my friend fell butt first on my arm. So its like literally dangling and were all rushing to the other end of the field where the ambulance was and my mind was going crazy thinking im going to need surgery, crying my eyes out etc.. lmao i pray you have a complete full recovery and back at it at the right time. Dont rush it ❤
Yo I saw u on the 500 dollar popcorn with 2 chains I just wanted to say your awesome I'll never forget when u first got into x games u were so young killin it. Your a legend foreverrrr
I had my ACL/meniscus surgery on September 8th, tore it skating local park. I'm just cruising around and doing manuals these days and tons of PT. Best wishes for both our recovery processes.
Any sort of knee injuries are devastating. Months after i torn my patella tendon, i kept wondering how do people that skates, parkour or do heavy sports that includes lots of jumping have such strong knees. I never want it to happen to anyone, and i cant believe my favourite childhood skater from project8 has become a victim. Speedy recover to you Nyjah.
NYJAH is undeniably the GREATEST OF ALL TIME 🐐 Anyone who thinks otherwise or tries to deny it just hates the man. Accolades, accomplishments, dedication, hardwork & inspiring others while catapulting the sport speaks volumes. NYJAH HUSTON Greatest Skater Of This Decade‼️ 🛹
When you’ve sent it at an extremely high percentage like Nyjah has for all those years you’re bound to get a knock or two here and there, this isn’t anything too major for an elite athlete in this day and age if it’s handled properly. Long story short Nyjah is a freak of nature.
That's from landing full speed sideways with your legs locked out..Like you said though you came off that rail instantly so there was no way you can adjust your momentum that quick...One problem I saw too was the angle you tried to lock in at. Your momentum was already moving sideways before you even hit the rail. The only tricked that would've maybe stuck would've been a BS lip or board... If you get a cadaver tendon/ ligament, with some stem cells shot in, you'll come back stronger then before..Take psychical therapy super serious too. Worst thing for your knee is landing full speed, legs extended sideways...Hope you recover quickly bro
Bro nyjah is more of a skater than anyone regardless of his “style” dude eats breaths bleeds skateboarding. Everybody needs to embrace nyjahs life commitment to the sport while we have him
I tore my ACL about 2 years ago playing football, now im skating about an year, and everytime i had the fear that it happend again. But Full SENDING because i NEED THAT.
I tore mine in 1997 at 22 years old. I had a great surgeon, and I did the pt like crazy. I’ve been snowboarding, skating, running marathons, all kinds of stuff since then. You’ll get over it and keep rocking.

had this happen to them haven’t fully recovered their surgery went awful and have had multiple

It's wild Nyjah's never broken a bone while taking the sport to the level he has. I know people who can hardly ollie that have broken their arm on a board lol. Recover quickly homie, no doubt you'll be back better than ever in a few months!
fr, after all the nasty slams he took from skating rails he just shrugs it off... this man is just a beast, once in a life time skater
I've broke both my ankles and it sucks but ligament tears suck even worse. It's been like 11 years since I tore my ankle ligaments and to this day I still can't kickflip bc I can't roll my ankle far or hard enough.
Unfortunately, it will take more than a few months ... The ACL is different, and very crucial for skateboarding.
ACL injury is infinitely worse than a broken bone.

Tore my ACL twice. Got surgery the second time. The pain is unreal but you will definitely heal bro just gotta give it time. A full year with ice and physical therapy will set you straight. Never underestimate the power of a jump rope 🤝 God bless.
we need and want a full (post) recovery series… please & thanks a lot ❤
I had a pretty similar injury where I tore my ACL in half completely (which they say is actually better than a partial tear as it’s easier to repair), tore my MCL and thigh muscle and I chipped a bone somewhere in there too lol.. Bro when you spoke on that pain I literally felt it all over again, I can’t imagine being in more physical pain than that and I’ve had several broken bones before as well as broken ribs (those fkn hurt too!).. God Bless bro I’m sure with the team you got as long as you’re hitting those PT’s you’ll be back better than ever, I never have pain in mine at all though it does get sore when it rains outside.. Throw Session on the PC and hit some virtual rails while that ting heals up!
In my opinion you are the S.O.T.Y.
You gon be back a better than ever dawg
As far as I know most of professional skaters after having surgery they came back even harder then before , I think they crave so much for skating that they don’t care anymore and they just go wild , hope you recover quickly and all the best
Glad to hear the surgery went really well man! I honestly felt the same way you felt about surgery lol, i broke my left arm in 7th grade playing “smear the queer” on the side field at a football game and my friend fell butt first on my arm. So its like literally dangling and were all rushing to the other end of the field where the ambulance was and my mind was going crazy thinking im going to need surgery, crying my eyes out etc.. lmao i pray you have a complete full recovery and back at it at the right time. Dont rush it ❤
Yo I saw u on the 500 dollar popcorn with 2 chains I just wanted to say your awesome I'll never forget when u first got into x games u were so young killin it. Your a legend foreverrrr
been following jah since dreadlocks jah. LOVE U NYJAH❤
I had my ACL/meniscus surgery on September 8th, tore it skating local park. I'm just cruising around and doing manuals these days and tons of PT. Best wishes for both our recovery processes.
you’re skating already and haven’t been cleared?
Good luck. Make sure to take care of that injury, no rush.
Those trucks slipping off gnarly as fuck
Any sort of knee injuries are devastating. Months after i torn my patella tendon, i kept wondering how do people that skates, parkour or do heavy sports that includes lots of jumping have such strong knees. I never want it to happen to anyone, and i cant believe my favourite childhood skater from project8 has become a victim. Speedy recover to you Nyjah.
Keep ya head up yo. It's okay to take a break sometimes. You go so hard
Sound interview. Still a radical sport Nyjah! Lovin' ur career, Radical skating!
NYJAH is undeniably the GREATEST OF ALL TIME 🐐
Anyone who thinks otherwise or tries to deny it just hates the man. Accolades, accomplishments, dedication, hardwork & inspiring others while catapulting the sport speaks volumes.
NYJAH HUSTON
Greatest Skater Of This Decade‼️ 🛹
much respect dude, keep your mind focused
Loved the recent part it's in my all time favourites
Sending healing vibes brotha, thanks for your rad skating
When you’ve sent it at an extremely high percentage like Nyjah has for all those years you’re bound to get a knock or two here and there, this isn’t anything too major for an elite athlete in this day and age if it’s handled properly. Long story short Nyjah is a freak of nature.
That's from landing full speed sideways with your legs locked out..Like you said though you came off that rail instantly so there was no way you can adjust your momentum that quick...One problem I saw too was the angle you tried to lock in at. Your momentum was already moving sideways before you even hit the rail. The only tricked that would've maybe stuck would've been a BS lip or board... If you get a cadaver tendon/ ligament, with some stem cells shot in, you'll come back stronger then before..Take psychical therapy super serious too. Worst thing for your knee is landing full speed, legs extended sideways...Hope you recover quickly bro
Man, someone understand his final words on this video? He will come back more strong, more juicy! Nyjah, the world is yours, just conquer it!
Bro nyjah is more of a skater than anyone regardless of his “style” dude eats breaths bleeds skateboarding. Everybody needs to embrace nyjahs life commitment to the sport while we have him
Nyjah losing SOTY made all the haters Jah fans.
The rightful 2022 SOTY right here...heal up bro.
