Sapphire said: "We were just practicing, and as I went to turn I slipped and heard 'crack, crack' and then I was in a heap on the floor.
"It hurt so so bad. I think my partner thought I was exaggerating, she had to pick me up and we were trying to wait to see if the pain wore off but then we had to phone an ambulance."
After the injury, Sapphire was admitted to the University Hospital of North Durham, and after an x-ray, doctors told that she needs surgery as her ankles got broke.
She had a fracture in her right ankle and ligaments on her right foot.
"To anyone thinking of trying it, I'd say approach with caution, and it's not as easy as it looks," Sapphire said.

She also thanked NHS for treating her during the coronavirus pandemic outbreak across the country.
