Whats the fastest speed youve fallen at?

**TRAVD0G** · 08-03-2008 09:24 AM

I fell at around 20 with no pads or helmet, pretty weak speed tho, just a lot of road rash.

**Blackmore** · 08-03-2008 09:27 AM

I fell at about 25 in a tanktop with knee pads and shorts and gloves. I rolled off the side of the road and got some scratches from gravel then rolled into grass so it wasnt bad at all.
I also fell at 38 in leathers, belly flop

I fell around 15mph trying my first left hairpin, helmet saved my ass because I definitely landed on something hard and it got a bit scratched up. Other than that, nothing really worth telling.

Taking a hard left going about 20-25, I had to cut my line wide and hit a bunch of pea gravel. Board slid out from under me and I went down on my slide glove. I was wearing a hoodie and some cargo pants which took a good bit of the scraping, but a chunk of gravel gouged my arm and I got a rug burn from the sleeve. My knee had a small scrape on it and the cargo pocket was shredded.

The belly flop was great lol

I fell at 40 something yesterday and so did my brother. Not too bad (sweatshirt jeans ans kne padds with my bellistics.

I slid out my board a lil to drop the speed because I knew I wouldnt make the corner then I let my board fly into the brush and I slid on my shoes hands. My did the same thing but he fell into a river.

1 week ago today, I lost control going about 30 on a right hand sweeper in my neighborhood. I was down in drop knee, began to drift towards the side of the road. I took the curb straight to the gooch so I couldn't sit right until about 2 days ago. I was so afraid that I was gonna poop blood, that I had some kind of internal bleeding. Luckily just a bruised tailbone and a gash on my shin that cut down to the bone.

On Friday I went to my little DH spot to practice my right turns. This road is straight, 90º right, straight, about 30 mph. I was wearing 187 Pro Knee Pads, home made slide gloves, and a azonic t-55 full face.

It was my last run before I was going to go home. I'm drifting around the turn in my lane when I see a car in the middle of the road looking like they were planing on cutting the corner..... Then I woke up in the ambulance. Soon as I realized I was hit I was demanding to know the condition of my board (thank god it was fine). I probably made contact ~20mph, no idea how fast he was going.

They brought me to the ER and denied my dehydrated ass water for 3-4 hours. That may be an exaggeration, but it's hard to have a good time line staring up from a hospital bed.

They finally give me water and get this..... MOTRIN wtf? I throw up all the blood that I had swallowed and the motrin and thank god, they gave me a vikedon.

I was in the ER for probably about 6-7 hours, I had a concussion, got 15 stitches in my upper lip, fractured some face bone twice, got bad road rash on my right arm, all my teeth hurt (but are still intact), and I bit my tongue pretty good. My left leg hurts pretty bad above the knee, I'm assuming that's where the car hit me.

I got 16 vikes out of the deal and traded 6 of them for like 30 muscle relaxers, which are really good to relax my leg.

Fastest I've fallen was at like 10mph probably. I don't fall when I'm going fast, only when I'm going slow. I don't get it either...

**Parallel Man** · 08-03-2008 05:26 PM

I once fell off my board at 400 mph.

Of course, I was drunk standing in the aisle of a Boeing 767 flying over Nebraska at the time.

**longrider303** · 08-03-2008 05:32 PM

i was going about 20-25
i was going down this hill i never been on but it was in my neighborhood so i figured it wouldnt be that big...i was wearing some plaid shorts and a t shirt (it was like 90 degrees)
but i had a helmet and some home made slide gloves.
i was in my full tuck going down a hill to where i looked ahead were i figured i would go... .well it turned out to be a very busy road so i had to do my heel side turn and i sucked at those. so i was turning wen i saw that the ground had a whole bunch of pee gravel wen my board started drifting more and more until i was heading for a gutter that was a 90 degrees from the street... so then i bailed
i now have a huge scar going from my kee all the way upp to me butt
i have looked at every hill i go down scince

**Hmann** · 08-03-2008 05:35 PM

around 40ish. first run on my brand new subsonic barrage got cocky and got some serious wobbles.

**Tonyz** · 08-03-2008 05:45 PM

About 25 mph, I footbreaked and got a wobble, was thrown off my board, ran for 5 seconds and hit the ground pretty hard. I hurt my knee, my hip, took skin off my arm and hit my helmet so hard that my head bruised.

**popeliz** · 08-03-2008 05:53 PM

I'd say around 25ish when I hit a lip in the road. Front truck made it over, back truck decided it would stay and take half the board with it. Board ripped in half and i went flying.

Nice, what street was it?

**XPLOAD** · 08-03-2008 06:53 PM

60k and hour roughly, screwed up foot break, clipped my wheel and landed on my front sliding down the road. jumped up, grabbed my board and took off again. leathers are great

**Dr Repper** · 08-04-2008 05:57 AM

Fastest would be about 45 mph at the Cadwell Park freeride. Scariest would be the other morning at 37 mph (gps) with traffic behind me and cars coming the other way too. Was approaching a junction and was concerned that the car coming towards me might turn infront of me as has happened before. Result: instant wob and highside. Very pissed off as I wasn't even going very fast. Just goes to show how your mind can play tricks on you...

The hill in question can be seen here: http://www.silverfishlongboarding.co...bit-laugh.html You can see the junction on the left in the distance at as the camera pans round at the beginning of the video.

**raynerider** · 08-04-2008 12:35 PM

i was goin 35 and was making a hard right turn and there was a shitload of gravel on the road so i just lost control of the board. I had a helmet on nothing else and reopend a huge cut on my elbow. i knocked on some random persons door and asked them for some peroxide and a bandaid. lol. it still got infected
