Whats the fastest speed youve fallen at?

[boardingkaos]

How fast, what happened to cause it, how did you fall, and what did you hurt?

fallen at 35 got a couple scars but nothing serious

fell at literally 7mph hurt my hip about 3 weeks ago, it still hurts, my baseball coach thinks i'm fine it feels like someone is taking a powerdrill to my pelvis whenever i run

i can't really tell my parents cuz they'll never let me skate again

kinda sucks but whatever

[fineout]

around 40ish

[Longbord1]

At least 55 mph.

Hit a big divet in the road. Got crazy wobbles, said to myself how I was going to fall and was on my stomach before I knew it.

[Crappysurfer]

probably 45, it was gnarly

[speshlspeclsteak]

about fourty got the mad wobbles on my cruiser (bombhills with loose ass indies and blue doh-dohs) as i was starting to recover i hit sand at the bottom and ate #### did like 3 front head springs(so im told i dont remember all of it). no safety equipment so i split my head open and had to get staples. needless to say i wear a helmet now

Around 30-35 twice. Once I just lost control on a drift and flew into the bushes came out with just some minor scratches, and the other was a different story. I was at the bottom of a hill about to take a hard corner and a guy walking his dog was blocking the road. So i had to take the corner really wide and drift really hard toe side. I high sided and did a back flip, now I have road rash and a huge bruise on my tail bone. Not fun.

45. backflip dodging a fallen comrade. landed on my head first. unconscious and hazy after that. i need to post the pictures of it in the carnage thread... lost all the skin on my left leg...

around 35 was my worst fall. it was my first day with my first board and i didnt know my limits and didnt understand speed wobbles lol. needless to say i was pretty messed up. a whole went through my shirt, jeans, boxers and made my ass bleed from sliding so far. not to mention my for arms hands and knees =D.

[animal]

55. mad wobbs .

board chucked me completely off
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.

[longboardorific]

30-35
i think something went under my wheel and i flipped, dont remember though
concussion, skating in 4 (well 3 technically) days

[Pat S]

35ish probably, got highsided in a sharp turn and went flying face first onto my hip, forearms, and knees. a whole lot of rash.

Yeah that sounds alot like me. I made a board and the gear all arived from the US so i was so pumped to go skating then for some stupid reason i went to one of the biggest hills in my area and basically got f@#$ed. Broke an arm had all the skin off myu shoulder and a heap of other random grazing. The arm put me out for 6 weeks.

[oregon street surfer]

me and 3 other buddies going about 35mph took this corner with all our hangers about to fall off doing some crazy carving but yeah so we went around the corner to find a tow truck taking up the whole road and we all went into the side of it my buddy slit his finger down the middle past his nail it was sweet

[boxcar182]

45ish Good times...

[bear]

40ish, started footbraking so i would'nt get killed by a car, the inertia made the board get away from me, so i fell hard, and the board ended up in some dirt, only thing messed ub was my shirt. no scars, no cuts. thank god for pads and gloves!

[Rayce]

Somewhere around the 40's.

Got wobbs and flew off of my board...I slid on my back the whole time...
Just some road rash on the higher back.

[T.s.]

fallings for chumps

[rush340]

I'd guess somewhere between 20-30mph (I have no sense of speed in miles per hour on a longboard). Hit a rock on a turn and did a nice superman slide on this really rocky stuff they put on the hill in from of my house. Tore through my jeans, boxers, shirt, and skin.

[~Nick~]

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.
