Tony Hawk is on the mend after breaking his femur on Monday.
The 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 (and my age),” 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.'”
Hawk concluded by thanking his family, friends and fans, sharing, “Thanks to my unyieldingly supportive, tolerant family – and all of you – for the love and support through the years; I wouldn’t be here without you. See you on the other side.”
HBO’s upcoming documentary on Hawk, “Until the Wheels Come Off”, debuts April 5.

Guy Lodge Film CriticAs the crow flies, only about 30 miles separate the port towns of Dover and Calais — a distance that, in many parts of the world, wouldn’t span any greater culture shift than a slight tweak in accent. When those miles are filled with the English Channel, however, opposite coastlines represent opposite worlds, where everything from language to sexual mores are poles apart.
