I told my dad tonight that he should start recording my races at skating. Mainly for the falls I inevitably take at some point. For example? Tonight I race against a couple of guys 13-18. Probably both under 16, really. One's on blades... I use non-blade skates. I _nearly_ trip up once where, had I not somehow regained balance, I probably would have planted my face into the floor. I'm ahead of the rollerblade-kid... then I DO trip. I think I somehow ended up on my toes? then landed on my knees and apparently half-rolled so that I slid on my back. With my legs going up in the air. I'm just so graceful. ;)
I don't actually know for sure what happened in the fall, just that the top of my big toe as well as both knees hurt a little, and I took a little skin off my back. Probably less than a nickle-sized area.
xD I don't get hurt too badly on skates, but I bet I entertain with my falls. >_>
..And to think the scabbing on my knee from my racing-fall two weeks ago has finally stopped looking quite so ugly. lol
entertainment,
pain,
skating
