Total Boss

so yeah, I was just out longboarding with my friend Michal, and I got owned by the road. true story.

Michal and I were bombing hills for the last 3 hours, up until i was flying down this one hill and flew over a manhole. these manholes, on this road, they stick up quite a bit, like a 1/2 foot. so anyways, i go flying off this manhole and off the longboard and get owned (Michal says "yeah pretty much"). so now i have major road rash on my left shoulder, left arm, both palms, and right knee. AND IT STINGS LIKE HELL.

anyways, crash was total boss. i flipped over and skidded a bit until i came to a stop, then i immediately jumped up and yelled for Michal to get the goddam longboard, while i ran off the road into some grass and started rolling over groaning and bitching at Michal to get the longboard. Michal grabbed my watch off the road and the strap is broken which sucks 'cause i just got it fixed like a few months ago. But my new sunglasses are okay, so it's all good. So yeah, after a few minutes we went to my house and my mom fixed me up with hydrogen peroxide (that stung) and some Second Skin and Band-Aids. Which got me thinking that when I move out I'm gonna need a girlfriend to fix me up when i wreck my body more. Michal and I went back out for a few minutes but got bored so now I'm here with him playing video games and writing this story, AND IT STINGS LIKE HELL. I've had much worse injuries but normally it's something like ripped muscles or broken bones, those really only hurt when you move. this shit hurts just because.

and now i think i need to buy me some gloves and some leathers. so can somebody give me a good recommendation for some sick gear, PLEASE.



oh yeah, i forgot to mention, cool story hansel.

the shitty roads in my neighbourhood. for some reason there's manholes all over the place that stick up and when you're longboarding you have to carve around them, which sucks.

go look around at pawn shops and second hand stores for some leathers because they are very expensive. unless your super serious about downhill i'd reccomend just getting some good knee and elbow pads, i do probly 80% DH and i just use knee's and elbows cause leathers are just too damn expensive. and make your own sliding gloves, buy a pair of work gloves or comfy biking gloves and melt some cutting board onto them. theres certain plastics(which i cant recall the name of) that are better then others to use, jsut do some research.

whenever you can go no shirt with the bandages off. it will help dry out the area, getting rid of those pussies you have on you;)

ooh that sucks bro, happened to a buddy of mine...we were going down this hill that we had been clocked going 50 on the night before, so he was doing a follow cam of me from a sick angle and all of a sudden i look up and im like GRAVEL ON YOUR SIDE but he thought he could power through it and totally ate shit and broke his 1000 dollar camera with no insurance, and got SUCH bad road rash....then he couldnt play in our lacrosse game that week. ANNNNND on the same hill a few nights before some kid who had never ridden before got wobble and took a slam to the face, totally knocked him out and fucked his shit up. good luck with the recovery.
