Sorry to hear that, Wesley. Sounds like you're the latest addition to the roster of Team Broke the F$#@ Off.

If you haven't already, be sure to treat yourself to some RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. And if that doesn't work, get thee to a doctor. Hope it mends fast, though.

Joe, my overall answer to whether you should get a board specifically for TS is "maybe."

Jack, is any of that drawing to scale? (Ramp heights, widths, shapes & spacing, etc.) As is, seems the "across the fall line" ramps are so narrow and mildly banked that they would kill the riders' speed--not the effect you're going for, I'd bet.
