Slam.
It finally happened. After a month of carefree skateboarding around New York, I slammed in the most unattractive way this morning on the way to school. 
This one is up there with Martin's fall a couple of months ago. I should've seen it coming. Last week I hit a pot hole which sent me flying into an intersection but luckily I was able to catch myself and landed on my feet. Then yesterday, I was trying to squeeze between a car and the sidewalk and was met with the sewer grate which locked my shit up and sent me flying. I had a full backpack on so the weight of it went over my head and almost caused me to do a forward roll but again I was able to stop myself. This morning, I don't know what the fuck happened. I was pushing along half awake trying to make it to my 9 o'clock class and my board just stopped like I hit something. I slammed shoulder first into the ground, sunglasses and hat flew off, backpack stayed on. I looked to see what caused me to fall but there was nothing but smooth pavement and a gum wrapper on the ground. A passing car stopped to see if I was ok but I grabbed my shit and took off before he could see the look of shock and embarrasment on my face. Got this shiner on my shoulder now and a scrape on my knee and elbow. My neck feels jacked and so does my back. Over 30 skateboarding rules!

damn, oh well thats how it is in ny.
age is one of the reasons i don't get on skateboards no more and stick to bicycles. i was never good to begin with, but you're a dab hand with the cellphone skating at the same time combo which always makes my head spin.
Beef of the week!

That sucks. Looks like a nasty scar too. Hope that gets better soon. :)
OUCH. I know a great acupuncturist / chiro if you need one in NY... (david duchovny and yoko ono are some of his clients) but... ah, NYC crashes will make you tougher for other places - no worries! FEEL BETTER!
punkass.
