Impressing chicks?
- alright so im at the local school doing kick flips and olling shit untill my mate Michael told me to ollie over him, now you should take note that ive been skating for about a month now and im not ENTIRELY confident, well. naturally i accept and start riding towards him, and there were some hot as chicks watching. Being a retarded teenager and all the only thing going through my mind "try a kickflip, it will be sweet" so i try and completely fail. my board goes vertical and smashed Michael in the nuts and the wheel gets caught in my tracksuit pants (yes, like i said. retarded teen) and i crack my nuts with the board on its side. moral of the story, dont try to impress chicks with tricks YOU HAVENT MASTERED! it will end badly for you, and most probably your mates. However theres a bright side to the story, theres no permanent damage to my balls, however Michaels left nut got crushed, its now became a taboo topic amongst the group. however, im still skating and so is Michael :)

dumb fail
- I had been skating for a year and I wanted to impress a friend who always called me a poser, so I tried going down his driveway. I ended up falling once I reached the bottom, got several cuts in my left arm, and got my glasses scratched. Mt dad got so mad when he had to buy me new ones! Which is exactly why I do not skate with glasses anymore.

360 flip primo!
- Today I was really tired from swim practice, my legs were slush puppy. I really wanted to skate to so just skated in the house and removed the carpets. I'm learning 360 flips and some days I have the good rotation and some days I get it but it lands to far away to catch it with both feet. I half wittedly kept trying but not jumping properly. I did a perfect rotation and landed in promo and lost balance. My hands hit the roof fan, cut. And bruised it and what felt like a split second I fell and hit straight and snapped my wrist. I was so close and now after it's healed I'm so far away. Arggggggggg

technical knee
- I was at a skate park with my mates and i decided i wanted to learn to carve. anyway i was new to skating and i went on and tried, earlier that day i had bombed a hill and decided to tighten my trucks so i dint get speed wobbles, so when i started to go around i couldn't turn properly and went straight up the ramp, i fell on my knee and snapped my PCL ligament, one of the ligaments holding my shin bone and my thigh bone together at the knee, anyway 3 months later and i begin to skate again, when one morning (about a week ago) i wake up to find it hurting, cant skate for another month or two because i think i have torn it again in my sleep.... this sort of thing stays with me for life aswell, ill always have a crappy right knee now.

10 Months Gone
- Early in Feb, I had my foot crushed by a truck while skating, a couple months later when my foot was back right to normal, I started skating again, I was able to skate for a good month. Then I snapped my leg at the skate-park, it was a spiral fracture of the Tibia and Fibula, its been 10 months since then and I still got another month to go till I can skate again, doctor said it was one of the worst breaks he's seen in twenty years.
