As someone who snapped their left shin bone in half, Mark has many hours with one leg on a chair as he tries to ….etc…etc. But its only when you lose a 12 inch ruler trying to stratch your ankle that you know you got it bad . Good luck Mark…..Ive felt your pain…;-)

If you’re going to bust your leg, it’s probably best to do it in the off-season and make sure it’s your right one. I’d imagine it would be a lot more troublesome if it was his left given the amount of pressure that’s needed to be applied to throw the anchors down going into a turn!
