the morale of the story is if you're bombin hills, you should wear gloves as well as a helmet :)

Honestly, not to be a dick, that is nothing. I've seen 10 times worse. Imagine that but all over every knuckle of both hands, my buddy got raped one time. All thought gloves aren't really necessary if you're a beginner wear a helmet.

I broke both arms(right wrist, and the big bone between the sholder and elbow on the left arm) got a concussion and road rash all over my body from long boarding....i dont think gloves would have helped that much but deffanatly helmet and i guess gloves couldnt hurt

yeah, but mostly what he said is that yours weren't that bad, even if it did go to the bone. It isn't all over your arms or anything like that, and honestly, cutting up your hands isn't that bad, if you think that gloves are necessary then maybe you should wear a full leather suit, cus if you bail the last thing I would be worried about is my hands.

Haha, that's nothing compared to what I got last summer. Still, the more protection the better I guess.

son, thats nothing, I supermaned off my board doing 40kph with no shirt or gloves on one hour old ashphalt.  Skin grafts to my palms, and almost ripped my nipple off. did the scorpion on hot ashphalt so bad that my belt buckle didnt touch the ground.

my hands were in big gauze balls for the entire summer.  i had to get a hot bitch to whack me off.
