Some pictures of my elbow

Yeah, it was because it was my first time skateboarding, not because of the one in a bazillion chance that my back wheels would get caught on the curb/cement when I was skating into my driveway and I'd fall in such a way causing me to break my elbow in 3 places.

This [censored] happens when you skateboard and don't know how to fall. Which is why protective gear was invented. He got a scar being a [censored]. Big deal.

I don't wear protective gear when I jog, either.

Its kind of hard to put yourself in a position to fall when your board stops instantly and you go flying and before you can blink you're already screwed. I have fallen enough before to know not to land with the force of my entire body on my elbow. Do you really think I broke my elbow because I "didn't know how to fall"???

And everyone who says to wear safety gear is stupid. Nobody I know who skates to and from peoples houses or school has EVER EVER EVER had any sort of protection besides alcohol.

Can someone who actually skates please back me up on this so I don't have to deal with a bunch clueless people in this thread.

Oh yeah, I forgot you were there and you knew exactly how I fell.

edit - I didn't land on my feet. I went straight from being on the board, to landing completely on my elbow with full force.

Please just stop posting in this thread, your input is completely worthless.

During school I skate to and from class on my longboard, everyone else bikes, friggin Davis (#1 per capita for bikes! WHOOO). Anyways, wearing elbow and kneepads to and from class would probably make you look like a big fat smelly vagina.

Most likely this is BS, cause I've heard the exact same thing for Isla Vista (town right next to UCSB where everyone lives) which could also be BS.

Most people I know break/get stolen 2-3 bikes a year.

Nice pics, but more importantly, Can you tell your ass from your elbow?!?

Seriously dude, as a blader (who are way cooler than skateboarders btw), I'm telling you to get some [censored] protective gear and put it on. Plus you can take more risks and learn better tricks.

Yeah, the scar sux. I got an identical one after a rockclimbing fall (crushed four vertebra too). [censored] happens.

do "bladers" really still exist? i thought that [censored] died out in like 95.
