35mph on a crappy stock s9 that had tons of flex and it was in junior high when I sucked and didn't know how to stop. I came to a t- intersection, panicked and jumped off causing the natural running motion, tearing up my leg muscles and I hit my head into a garage door that was at the end of the street and don't remember much more.

20-25ish in a very tight righthander. Had a rider go down in front of me and I tried to avoid him, hit his board and launched into a ditch. I planted my knee into the ground about 4 inches above a concrete pipe (very lucky) and proceeded to faceplant into the gravel driveway. I smashed my face shield and severely bruised and sprained my knee.
not that fast acutally, all my falls were at lower speeds. fastest was around 15-20mph on a overspun 180 slide. i am really going to invest into some pads before i take my first fall at 35mph.

Re: Whats the fastest speed youve fallen at?
Probably around 35mph my first day ever with a longboard. I went down this pretty big hill I would be hesitant to try even now with more stable trucks. I had a S9 western with crappy hard 62mm wheels and revenge trucks. I started going down planning to stop, but then I figured, screw it, and I went for it. Even worse: it merged with a busy road where you cant really see the cars until last minute coming down the hill. Basically, I hit a pothole, got some HUGE wobbles, hung on for a sec, then tried to run off - IN FLIP FLOPS. I make about one and a half steps, then smash on my knees, elbows, head, and wrist. I don't really know the order it happened so fast, but I got some mad gashes, rash, and a broken wrist. Not fun because I had vacation the next day, so I just hoped my wrist wasn't broken. Well it was, so finally, three weeks later when I decided to tell my parents and had it checked out, I had to wear a cast for 2 and a half months because I waited.
30. i looked behind me to see if any cars were coming and my front right wheel just hit the curb and stopped, but i was sent flying into grass, so only bruises. although my bigzig now has a big chunk missing.
Around 35 sharp 90* left turn, I do not know how beacuse I don't remember, four broken ribs, left black eye, road rash form upper left side of my face to bottom right side of face, head concusion, and friction burn on my neck from the helmet strap, it look like I tried to hang my self. That has been the worst crash in my 25 plus years of Skateboarding.
Before that broken left knee jumping cars, broken left shoulder hit a curve about 25 doing Giant Slalom, broken left ankle don't remember how. these are just the broken bones not to mention all the road rash and lacerasions I had. And yes still stoke about skateboarding after all these years 8)

about 50 km/h taking a left hairpin bad positioned on my board...did a superman but landed on my hands (gloves) and then chest...everything ok thanks to rib guard
***isnt the guy who started the thread the one of the facebook group about breaking 100 mph bieng towed by a car?
I fell at the fastest part of jakes rash , apparently its 80+ish km/h. I was back on my board in quickly because I just slid on my leathers (legs mostly) to the grass on the side of the road and just had a sore knee.
hahhahah Same thing here, I was with rabid and sofa behind. I had to take a weird line to pass a dude who was slow but who still left in front of us. I had to go on the middle of the road, full tucking, and the crack was just too freaking big here.
I just remember flying for what seemed to me to be no reason, crashing on concrete, and finishing, upside down in the grass after seing sofa, lb1 (yeah I think he was there also) and rabid passing by me and avoiding me in extremis at full speed also.
on a skateboard= 2 falls in the high 20s on the same corner...stupid really considering how easy it is no damage except some bruises to my body and ego. I've taken a 45mph and a mid 70mph get off on my motorcycle (both in leathers) cracked ribs on the low speed fall, rag dolled my whole body on the second...I hurt for weeks

judo landing in the backside with about 5 rotations on the ground, dislocated shoulder that was returned to original place as i unzipped leathers and swung my arm a la bruce willis style.
theres a video somewhere =D
my hardest was at my local hill by myself I was bombing in my leathers and they were a little to tight so I didn't have alot of room and got a wobble and just went to my belly maybe high 30s low 40s. Blew the wind out of me but I got up fast because the ground was hot haha
about 35-40, hard right that i didnt scope before i had taken it. apparently it was wet and VERY gravelly. slid out and fractured my wrist in 3 places. didn't know at first though because of the adrenaline rush. i was thinking "why does my arm feel so stiff?" and rotating my wrist clockwise, only to figure out later that that action was possibly what caused the second fracture of my growth plate.
