My Inaugural Crash and Burn
I'm so cool. You want to know why? Well then I'll just tell you.
I now have battle wounds. Longboarding has finally taken it's toll. I've never completely bit the dust off of my longboard before, but today I changed that. Yep, my inaugural crash and burn. I was going up a sidewalk that is extremely familiar to me and managed to find a piece of the concrete that was rough and bumpy and that jetted up like a large rock. Rocks (or anything that acts like a rock) and skateboards do not mix...remember that. I hit the rocklike structure with one of my wheels at a fairly fast speed and fell almost into a faceplant. Caught myself with my left hand and right elbow though...and my knees. I'm not that bad off, scraped up my hand a bit, my elbow a lot, and both of my knees only slightly.
Yeah, battle wounds and blood. That is my story.
Any good battle wound stories? Do share, that would be fun times.
Rock on!
