    Default These ZigZags Never Slip!

    Yeah, what an idiot I am! I was skating with my bro showing off my new LIME ZIGZAGS!

    Proudly exclaiming how "they never slip!", I was pumping my hardest to show off how they grip like no other, I slipped. My board flew from under me full-pump, without thinking, I hit my chin smack on the 'crete. I am an idiot.

    My chin has a bad cut in it, and my flesh is kinda sticking out, but I'll sleep-heal it.

    hahaha, that must've been cool to see. remember, 90% of grip comes from your stance and weight distribution.

    I have Grippins too.

    The street has really crap pavement, and I was pumping as hard as I good, and my back just went WEOOOWWH.

    And my chin looks weird as hell, but I think it'll be good.

    you might wanna get it checked out. I had a similar thing happen, got 5 or so stitches in there now. didn't feel that bad when it happened but i think getting it sewn up was the way to go

    Kept it band-aided to keep it moist, but now I'm letting it dry out.

    The slide if you unweight them and kick them out. However, if you put your back foot right over the truck they pretty much stay rooted all the time.

    Sure, I've never had them slip on a nice sidewalk.
    But on some shitty, loose paved asphalt like I decribed?
    I ate it.


    It's okay ZigZag's, I forgive you.

    HAHA!
    Sorry, it took me a while to figure out wtf I said, but I meant "as I could."
    My girl was over then, I was distracted ;]

    And the chin doesn't look nearly as brutal. I pushed the flap of skin up, and it scabbed over nicely.

    no stitches ftw. stitches really simply help reduce the scar you'll get. IMO, unless it's a huge ass thing, I'd rather have the scar. I've got a good sized one on my right cheek that you can see when I smile, and all it does is lead to a good story. had I gotten stitches, no story telling....

    and lime zigs... they're the only wheels I've been able to actually slide. Guess it doesnt help that the only wheels I own are various sets of red and yellow zigs...... I wonder how much I'd benefit from having slide wheels.

    Ew, uh, I've been applying generous amounts of Neosporin, and I just went to clean it up, and the scab was wet, and tore off when I wiped it! Should I band-aid it or let it dry out?

    :S

    That reminds me of the time that I had those flexible glasses. I tried to demonstrate how I could bend them and they wouldn't break. They broke.
