in honor of halloween, what is it within skating that scares the HELL out of you?

[El Beefo]

Comming up on a blind corner on a narrow bike path with a truck blocking the path and no runnout on a board way to flexy to comfotably footbreak and no gloves or pads, again.

[Momona Boe]

passing out at the D-Cup after party and waking up to banjo music and the smell of Vaseline...........

i like your sig elbeefo.
if you cant footbreak on a flexy board you just need to practice mo'



im afraid of those invisible patches of motor oil that cars leave on the street, thats deadly.

also skating through a really dark place at night and thinking theres holes everywhere

[boxcutter]

When skating campus, going fast into a tight turn, and catching that man hole cover, and my board slides out from under me

[doxastic]

Stopping. Stopping when I'm going too fast always scares the sh*t out of me.

[The hippie from skogås]

Speed wobbles whenever I get them (hardly happens), gravel and cars.

[bpz]

Cars when I'm speedboarding, or when the guy in front of me eats it. Or when I'm racing slalom and really pushing it, and I get the back end to slide out.

[WalkTogether]

I hate those spikey balls that fall out of trees. I ate #### hitting one of those and cracked a second cell phone screen.

Soccer Mom's who feel it is their god given duty to run skateboarders off the road...regardless of pads and speed (especially when they have to accelerate to catch up with you...) scary sh!t

[foreverstrife]

Bombing a hill and hitting some random pebble/crack/cat that sends you flying.

Skate with a golf club.

It seems stinee grabbed mine. Soccer moms are the biggest annoyance on the road.

Speed wobbles give me the shivers, too. By speed wobbles I mean hitting a high-angled 2 inch bump between pavement types at over 25 miles an hour around a tight turn.

Invest in some caltrops, keep em in a handy bag on your belt or something, and then let them fly whenever someone starts driving dangerously.



(only half joking)

[Rabid Skunk]

Snow......

[king edward]

that brown dust on asphalt that used to be mud.

[bean-a-reano]

Unpredictable drivers.

[mlloyd]

Broken bones and skaters in spray on jeans.

[MalakaiKingston]

getting skabies from my pads and having my wheel fly off at full speed...

sadly the second one happens all the time...

[Bam Bam]

Big Rails, Atomic Wedgies don't feel good!

[mangels]

Blind curves on big hills.
