I am almost fully recovered from doing a belly flop onto the ground on Saturday. Luckily I landed on grass as I think I hit my head and got bruises at the end of my ribcage, but these things would have been worse on concrete or asphalt. My right arm has been jacked up since then, but each day is less and less painful...I'm at about 75-80% of normal...

so i just got back from a missions trip from nicaragua. while i was out there we had some free time, and one of the nicaraguans had a regular skateboard, but there was no hills. except for this big dirt one. so being longboarding deprived, i found eight long wooden planks and laid them on the dirt hill and began to ride the board down the planks. its hard to stay on the planks because they were so narrow. but i made it all the way down a couple of times and then i fell and that resulted into blood. it was pretty funny though.
i also forgot to mention that it also resulted into a third buttcheek that was black and blue.

I think I somehow pulled a muscle or strained the thigh muscle on my standing leg by pushing uphill Now it kind of hurts from moving the leg around the joint connecting the thigh to hip.
has that happened to anyone? or it could be my weak left leg growing up
Fell off my shortboard popsicle stick bombing a parking garage and hit some stupid bump in the middle of my turn. Landed on my left hand (*snap*) and flipped onto my head. Good thing I wore a helmet. Fractured solex and ulna (forearm bones). My forearm was completely sideways when i got up. I'm wearing a splint until i can see an orthopedist 10 days from now. no pics cuz its gross.
My new board just came in today. Had it come a day sooner i might not have fallen.

On a more serious note, I hope you guys carry insurance. Fell off a 15 foot drop? Broken ribs and back? Overnight hospital stays? Holy sheize man, that sounds expensive. I went to the ER after getting a concussion once, boy was it costly. Im hesitant to skate above 25 mph or so without amazing coverage now. Aflac here I come.

'Sploded my face, 20-odd stitches, hefty concussion, stretched knee ligaments, bruised rib and a few pins in my thumb. Ditches are deadly.

Yes, to an extent. However, the Canadian populous has just an easy of time buying luxury goods as other nations, but the looming threat of surprise medical bills is practically non-existent here.

...it can come down to how heavy your fat ass is rolling down a hill. A 12 year old paperboy with A.D.D who lives on FruitLoops and chocolate milk will not roll as fast as my jiggly body thats full of pizza and beer. These are just the facts.
