My right knee. I was wearing fox launch shorty knee pads, hit so hard, they gripped my flesh and pulled my skin down like a sock...
That's my femur showing in the pic.

Some pics of what happen when ya get higher and go faster... Ya Crash Harder!
8” laceration across my right knee, open comminuted fracture of my patella and knee joint, fractured my femur and tibia, lost 1/6 of my kneecap, 1/3 of my quadriceps tendon (shredded it), split my lateral retinaculum and its paratenon. I got over 200 stitches, 10 fragments of bone and connective tissue were removed, as well as “countless” bits of rock and debris.

 I went OTB on a high speed step down... I was just cruisin' in a train in a buddies, but it got hectic. When I hit the ground, musta slammed my knees, I was wearing fox launch shorties, which did stay put, but unfortunatley they held onto my flesh and pulled the skin down like a sock...
