The first injury I ever had is I broke my ankle doing a double whip off a curb and my grip tape was slippery it was like 2years old and this was my first year riding. I fractured my right knee by hitting the inside of my knee with a ledge. Then I recently cracked my ribs by slipping out on a back lip on a skinny ledge

Ive never liked broken anything riding my scooter, you usually get most hurt when you half way commit, i see it as if you fully commit your less likely to get hurt, but i just learn how to fall and if your going fast you just tumble, its all about learning to fall, if you roll after you fall you should be good; but the worst was probably this past weekend when i was trying to sesh this super tall handicap rail and my friend who is fucking really good at high rails told me to do something different, went for it but just not enough speed clipped the rail and went face first into the ground

I rolled both of my ankles a couple of times throughout last year and had to ride and walk with a brace for a while. Both of my ankles have felt extremely weak since then and everytime I do something big or with a drop they ache for the next few days so I've been very selective when riding set ups with drops or stairs. I broke my wrist skateboarding almost 6 years ago and sprained the same one back in August and ever since I've had his lingering pain in my wrist from time to time, saw a doctor about it and they just said to wear a brace while sleeping and/or throughout the day

Ight so this one has to be one of the funniest and somehow least painful injuries I've had. So about 2 years back, my and my cousin and some friends were just mobbing and hillbombing and riding round downtown Tacoma on our longboards. My cousin and I are pretty close to the point where we are like brothers, and we love to play like bad jokes and shit on each other. So he's riding with me and we are coming down this hill he passes me up and then he coughs up some fat shit and spits it out and it hits me right in the face and grabbed my shirt and wipe it off .next thing I kno I run into a curb and fly off on some crucial shit haha. Never felt a thing like my back was numb for a while lol but like this is what it looked like haha. The experience was crazy but I mean it prob not the weirdest bail I've ever had lol

once like aaaages ago before i got into legit riding (i was like 8 or something lol) i was riding a friends razor scoot down a hill with my friend and we were just chillen. not sure why we swapped scoots in the first place but yeah. i had a different scoot to him and it had a much more raised brake so i knew where to put my foot and all to use the brake on mine, but on my friends razor the brake was so low i didnt know where it was when i was using his scoot
so anyway when i was bombing the hill i was coming up to a fence so i was like "aight lets use this brake", but when i put my foot to the brake i couldnt feel shit for the brake so i kinda panicked because i didnt really know any other way to stop (lol)
so nek minnut i just ended up jumping off the scoot and bailed and died hahaha, i was pretty retarded as a kid tbh
