We want to send our best wishes out to DJ (from the Aminal Skateboards crew). He recently got some pretty heavy injuries (a broken back!) but it looks like he’ll pull through fine… this is an email I got back from Shawn of Aminal Skateboards:

So DJ was [doing a] switch back tail in a ledge drop in Boston and he fell on his back and the board was under his back primo. He fractured the end of 4 of his vertebrae. He’s currently in the hospital and has a back brace and cain.He should have a full recovery and wont skate for months. There are some good guys that are helping him in Boston. Looks like he’ll be staying there for a bit. I quess that’s about it .Thanx,Shawn

Hurry up and get better DJ, we don’t like seeing our homies down. All of us are thinking about you.
