My brother just had a serious long boarding accident on campus at Western state resulting in a fractured skull.  He was flown to Denver and is doing ok but the doctors say he will never be able to play football again.  Praying really isnt my thing but please send some good love.

Also remember to wear a helmet my brother is a good long boarder and was just going to class so it can happen any time.

I was longboarding on this hill once, and I started to get speed wabbles. My first instinct was to jump off the board before I got hurt, but then I thought to myself, "Just do it."

I ended up eating shit and ripping a huge chunk of skin out of my elbow coincidentally, in the shape of the Nike logo.

spooky eh?

Oh yeah?? that's pretty dope..

But one day I fell off my motobike, I decided I'd be fine in boots and a helmet since I was only on my small bike, but I fell over a jump and it put a scar in the perfect shape of an R right in my side, and my name is Ryan.  Pretty weird.

But that really does suck for your brother, especially since he was just going to class.  +++ vibes and a speedy recovery man!
