- Hello.
So yeah, this is my dumb ass
after I tried to do a kick flip.
A kick flip!
Just a simple, little, flat ground, kick flip.
Yeah, at least I got it on camera.
But, let's rewind a little.
(Montage music)
I have a bad feeling about this
(Explosions)
You know how there is that stereotype
that Asians always get good grades?
And how they are super smart?
I am a perfect example that
that stereotype is not always true unfortunately.
As I get a little bit older and a little bit wiser
I am realizing I need to step it back a notch.
And I did, I did a whole twelve year streak without
breaking a single bone.
So, yay me.
If you've been following the channel you know that
I recently got a skate board.
And I am trying to master a kick flip.
And after a whole bunch of attempts I finally landed one.
It felt really great, but it was while I was standing still.
So in the next video,
I thought that I could try to do one while moving.
That'd be awesome.
And it ended up being really, really, fricking hard.
And after a ton of attempts,
I ended up throwing in the towel.
So, like nope, not happening.
So I felt like a total failure
and promised I'd come back and do it next video.
And it sucked.
I hate giving up on stuff.
More than anything else, I absolutely hate giving up.
So in the next video, it was my time to get this kick flip.
Again, after another whole bunch of attempts,
I finally sorta get one?
- Ohhhh
- Does that count?
Does that count?
Can I count that?
I'm going to count that!
- You're going to count that?
Ohh
- Okay, in the next video,
I will definitely do a perfect kick flip.
Don't you worry.
I think this is good for today.
See ya.
And that is the point where
I really should have just called it a day and stoped,
but I was really really lucky for some weird reason,
I thought, maybe I'll do one more.
And let me just see what happens.
'cause I feel like I could land that perfect kick flip.
- Ohhh
- Oh (bleep). Oh (bleep)
Oh (bleep), I broke my arm.
I (bleep) broke my arm.
Well, I definitely need to go to the hospital.
(Bleep).
Ah. Oh (bleep) look at my elbow.
- Oh (bleep).
Oh boy
- What do I do?
Ah (bleep)
- We gotta go to the hospital or something
- I can move my fingers and everything.
But, my arm is totally jacked up.
I think it might just be out of the socket or something.
I don't know.
My health insurance isn't that good.
Woo!
Oh god, I immediately knew it,
as soon as I landed I felt it go gionk
and I'm like, well, that's not good.
I've got some adrenaline running right now.
So, I am good right now. But, in about twenty minutes,
I am going to be like crying like a little (bleep).
(laughs)
It's been like ten years since I broke my arm,
so I'm like Oh my god did it just happen?
Is this real life?
Okay, don't tell Sam, lets see how long it takes him
to notice that my arm is all jacked up.
(laughs)
Dude, it's starting to hurt.
It's starting to hurt pretty bad.
- Ahh
- Oh god.
- Help me, I'm dying here!
(laughs)
Somebody call the ambulance.
Not the ambulance though,
my insurance isn't good enough for that.
Let's just take a gentle ride to the nearest emergency site.
I don't know , do you think it's broken?
- I do, yes I very-
- Do you think it's broke or dislocated?
- How bad does it hurt?
- It hurts, pretty bad.
(laughs)
It's hurting more and more.
Remind me to take a thumbnail in front of the hospital.
All right?
I need to get those clicks to pay for this hospital bill.
(laughs)
You can tell there is something wrong because my bone
goes straight and you can see it popping out right there.
I feel like I don't have an elbow or something.
This is really weird.
I'm hoping we just go to the hospital and their like
'oh yeah bloop' and pop it back into place.
Oh god, I wish I was trying to do something cool, you know?
And then broke my arm.
but that was a sad, little half kick flip.
And just boop.
How far are we from this hospital?
Thirteen minutes?
There's closer hospitals but, I think my insurance is Kaiser.
Here let me FaceTime Kari real quick.
- Lets go guys, you're almost there!
- Hi there, Kari.
- Hey.
- So, I have some bad news.
We are on the way to the hospital.
- You're on the way to the hospital?
(laughs)
- Yeah.
- What did you do?
You're on the skateboard?
(gasps)
- Can you see that?
- Oh my gosh!
(laughs)
- Why are you laughing?
You're the worst girlfriend ever!
(Laughs)
I'm laughing too so it's alright
- Congratulations on 300 K!
- Hey, Hey, your students are watching?
Can I pop it back myself, or?
- No, you should go to the doctor.
Maybe we should've got married,
so your insurance would've been covered.
- Ah dammit, yeah.
If we got married,
I'd have health insurance under her school and her union,
but I have to go with my crappy,
like super budget insurance.
- Is there like a bet on whether it is dislocated or broken?
- I don't know should we make a bet?
I would think it's dislocated
- Twenty bucks says it's broken
- Alright deal, twenty bucks.
It's starting to hurt real bad.
All that adrenaline I had earlier?
Gone.
- Did you, Did you hear a crack?
- No.
Just felt like a, Bloop.
(Groans)
skateboarding, not for me, Dude.
Just to let you know how supportive Kari is,
She is sending me gifs of how to properly do a kick flip
(laughs)
Hello
Uh him?
Yeah, I just..
(Laughs)
It was a super busy day at the emergency room
So, I did have to wait awhile in pain,
but eventually they got me in
and injected some morphine into me.
This was me a bit earlier.
But, after the morphine, I am right back around there.
So, yeah, the results from the x-ray just came in
and turns out it is dislocated and broken.
So, we see that is not good.
Hopefully, I don't need to do surgery on it
'cause that makes it a much bigger deal.
Worst part about that is that I owe Sam twenty bucks.
Dumb bet to make
- Sam, so he actually broke his arm
- Oh
(laughs)
loser
- Do you think I could raise my blood pressure
intentionally?
- Yes.
(Hospital machines beep)
(laughs)
Did it work?
Freedom!
(laughs)
Oh god.
Hey what is it? 8 O'clock there?
So we were there for like nine hours.
Feels so good to get out of there.
They were like we are going to come snap your arm into place
And by that time, my arm was hurting like crazy.
So, that really freaked me out.
So they gave me this stuff, Propofol.
They gave that to me and I got super high
for about thirty seconds.
Or just a couple minutes and when I came back to,
I looked at it and its like oh,
you all ready put it back in place.
Afterwards, they took a CAT scan and
they are going to take a detailed look at it.
Hopefully, I don't need to get it surgically fixed.
Fingers crossed though.
I'm waiting for the doctor to call in a few days.
So, we'll see.
We have to end off the day on a good note.
Some Korean barbecue.
I can't hit the record button, someone cut it for me.
(Laughs)
(Upbeat music)
So, the results from the CAT scan came back and
unfortunately, my elbow is pretty much shattered
in five pieces.
So the surgeon, who is pretty much going to do
the procedure on me called me today.
And what is funny is that he was like,
I know you from somewhere, how do I know you?
- Oh my gosh no he didn't
- So, I was like, Oh I do YouTube.
And he was like, Oh Yeah!
Hopefully, that scores me some VIP points for the surgeon.
(Laughs)
- Special treatment.
- It's a little scary because he was saying its a
very complex surgery because of how many pieces it's in.
And basically he is going to try and
re-mush everything together and put a screw though it,
to hold it all together.
Like he was saying,
that's right where the funny bone is and stuff like that.
And he was saying there, is a lot of nerves in that area.
And he was saying, hopefully that would kinda set nicely
but, if it doesn't I'm going to have to have one of those
things were a bunch of pins is coming out of my forearm.
And holds it in like that for like a week
- Oh no, no, no
- Yeah he was saying
- Around metal thing that goes through?
- Yeah in my arm
- So gross, oh my god.
- I'm hoping after Monday, I come back home
and I just have another one of these casts on.
- So, you broke it extra good.
- I broke it extra good.
Peter what do you think about that?
Is that your sad face?
Are you sad that I'm getting all this surgery?
It's hard for me to pet the dogs now.
It's really sad.
This is as much as I can do.
Another complication is that in physical therapy,
they basically need to crank your arm to
get you to get full range of motion again.
But, if that doesn't work,
I might need another surgical procedure in a year.
For that skateboard fall.
For that little, teeny, weeny skateboard fall.
This is a lot of suckyness that is happening
All right, it is day four of having my cast on.
I may or may not have slightly customized my cast
to give me a little more finger action.
The doctor actually told me to try to
exercise these fingers as much as possible.
The way it was held before, just wasn't really giving me
any motion with just my finger tips.
So, I just pulled this back a little bit.
That's not recommended.
Don't do that.
That's bad advice.
Do not do what I do.
And check out my little keyboard set up here.
I have it propped up by this cup
and it is just kinda taped onto the table.
So, I can put my cast here
and still access my basic premier shortcuts right from here.
And literally pulling this back inches
made a huge difference.
I'm editing my videos at like half speed right now.
But, you gotta do, what you gotta do.
That's the sucky part about freelance.
You can't just take a month off.
And get PTO for it.
So, now more than ever, I'm trying to hustle
because I got a pretty fat medical bill coming
(laughs)
But, I don't want you guys to be like
'Oh no, let us send you money' like don't worry about it.
I'm going to be alright.
But, on Monday, the day I upload this video,
Will be the day I am going to go get my surgery.
It should be a pretty quick procedure.
But, it is a little bit scary.
Not gonna lie.
'cause you don't know how exactly it is going to go.
Especially when the doctors are like
'Yeah this is going to be more complex than usual surgeries'
So, fingers crossed that in my next video,
I don't have all these nails and stuff coming out of my arm,
looking like a cyborg.
Now if you are following me on Instagram,
You already knew last week that I broke my arm.
But, on YouTube, I did a little teaser of the fall.
So, people are still speculating if my arm is broken.
But, if you are not following me on Instagram,
Totally should get on that, bro.
Mikesmithphoto says if I win the gamble,
I'll put it on Ebay and the proceeds will go to
your medical bill.
(laughs)
that is actually a good idea.
(laughs)
I might actually start selling some stuff.
The first thing I need to sell,
is that damn skateboard that I never plan on riding again.
Ouch!
Did a playback at 20%
and seen a dislocated elbow if not worse.
Hope you recover easy from that.
Confirmed.
Dislocated and worst.
Good idea seeing it in slow motion though.
Let's check it out.
(Laughs)
ah man this is all bad.
I was feeling good.
Got the board rotated, but the board landed just short.
I land on the side of the board so,
I am actually a foot higher than I usually am.
Since I wanted to do a moving kick flip,
all my weight is moving forward.
And aw man!
All that energy went straight into my hyper extended arm.
Oof!
Every time I watch this, it kills me.
That's crazy!
I immediately knew.
Like I didn't need to look at my arm.
I was like 'yep, it's broken'.
(Laughs)
Golden Souls Brigade says
'I need a crane 3 so I can film a kick flip tutorial
for you'.
(laughs)
I think it's a little bit late for that tutorial
but, I appreciate it anyways.
Maybe your pants are too tight for a kick flip.
(laughs)
that must have been it.
Damn pants!
(laughs)
Slowed that crash down to quarter speed
looked like he broke an arm.
I hope not.
(laughs)
I hope not too, but, anyways,
thank you for all the support you guys have been sending me.
I've been getting so many kind messages.
And I'll catch you guys on the next one.
See yeah!
