What it'll do to you... the need for the rush.

Picked up one of my longboards today, rode it. It was only a month ago I broke my leg/ankle, but I was bored and took my brace off. Rode for only 1 run, approx 700 ft, took me near 20 minutes to walk back up to the top.

It felt good.

[cool hand mike]

that's heavy man...get better and get back on!
but at the same time, don't let that desire to ride make you hurt yourself again.

[CRASS]

ive noticed that even for a week withought boading once i hopped on & carved a small hill or 2... and it felt SO good. i think the feeling rivals sex.

[Sabrina]

You're outta your mind!

[Pfhranzilicious]

Totally doesn't rival sex.....but it is very pleasurable.

[enjoisoad]

50mph speedboarding MAY come close to rivaling sex but they are hard to compare

[jake]

pulling off that slide at 30mph in front of all your bros is pretty sweet. none of my girlfriends would let my mates cheer me on whilst we were gettin freaky.....

[Sabrina]

Have you actually gone 50mph on a skateboard?

[raven6241]

Sex and boarding are two very different feelings.

If you fear for life during sex, well, that's kinky....kinda. That's the feeling you should be getting with your board at 50mph.

Sabrina, yeah, a few of us have gotten 50mph (and many including yours truly) have gone a little bit, if not much, more faster.
Seriously, I urge you to have a try and break the barrier. It's a great feeling knowing you can at least break the speed limit!!!

SPEED CAMERAS AT THE BOTTOM OF HILLS. OH JOY!!!

Crashing at 45mph got me two gnarly scrapes.

Having sex got me two gnarly kids.


I perfer the scrapes

dork, if thats what crashing at 45 mph looks like, i mustve gone about 23489032840234 mph. howd you get away with such simple cuts? i went away with a 3 inch deep gash in my elbow, road rash on my hip/ass, and an inch on my knee. still got the wounds, battle scars if you will.

it felt oh so good, up until i was sliding 20-25 feet on my various body parts.

[Unit]

I WAS wearing elbow pads... AND 'under sleeves' for the pads.



I'm sure I have more pictures somewhere... blood happens. It's worth it though, it's totally worth it.

[a dork]

yeah dude, I was so lucky, I leaped off the board (there was a giant crack) and took 3 giant strides, then I just kinda tumbled and rolled a couple times, then slid on my back about 10-15 feet. and the srape on my arm had a hole about the size of a dime, that went almost to the bone. And my shoulder was ****ed (still is), those were pics after I cleaned it up. I know I was going 45 because my wife was driving next to me on the road, I was going down a bike trail. never again without pads. never ever. And after that happened I seriously thought to myself, Yo! I could have died, If I would have hit my head or did a straight up face plant I could be dead. And belive me I have seen people (100's) that are dead resulting from far less impact. It truley changed the way I think about bombing a hill, I scope it out first.

[fool_in_the_rain]

you've seen 100's of people die trying ****? or their corpses? what are you, a mortician? if not, youre the grim reaper, no one should be your friend. but hell, i don't skate with you, i'll be your buddy.

[a dork]

I perform autopsys, really.

[crazylongboarder]

thats cool /\

[tyler87]

IF you don't mind me asking, what's the worst accidental death case you have ever seen?

[a dork]

Well, thats a hard one. hhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm ok, this one goes back to my Body driving days. There was this one guy who had been drinking. and he decided to cross the freeway, well , he didnt make it. He was hit by a jeep and many other cars, he was split in half and he was skattered about 1000 feet I also had to pick up flesh off of a luggage rack on an SUV I spent a good hour picking up parts, brains, flesh, oh yeah and a leg.. But you name it I have seen it. only rarely does a case come by when I think to myself ,"Yo!, this is ill."
