No pain, no gain Caroline! If you can't run with the big dogs, then stay on the porch! Hope you were on a long board when you had this mishap, otherwise you be nuthin' mo than a gangsta punk! This is the Spankster saying, "Eatin' crete is a way of life!"

we live on a very steep hill so there is lots of big steps around the house and i managed to jump up this big step and i was feeling pretty proud, so i decided to go down the step really fast and i stacked it and cut my lip open.

This is no blood pissing, leg missing, eyeballsocket craking
tale- but it hurt just the same: I had been skating for
about four monthes without a serious biff all the while
getting more fearless and confident- coming home from class
one day while doing a victory lap around the parking lot
I got really far out front, next thing I know I hit the
ground and bounce back up- full face plant- I'm just
standing there getting all fuzzy going o-shit...o-shit.
I fell straight on my chin didn't even have time to brake
the fall- the shock of the fall chipped the sides right off
a molar and three other teeth- I got stitched back up-
but the real pain is in my jaw- I was on a soft food/liquid
diet for a month and it still hurts when I chew- the dentist
made mentions of permenent jaw damage: anyway I got as
screwed as the next guy when the shit goes down
but it is good to write it out and conquer those fears
because I am back rideing and hoping to be as confident and
crazy as before!

The best thing to do is avoid falling. Be confident, and keep stable.

Hey Spanky,this is the Manky! Body armour my ass! When you
bite the road here in Ireland they ain't as smooth as those
yankee roads. Pizza? Sat on Pizza! Watch your hands, thats
all.
Hold your head high and bail before death takes you.
As for you Mike....ride the Nine....don't fear the wobbles,
just relax..

Mike, be brave, man. Don't be a punk, you got a Sector 9 now. The Spankster fully endorses this righteous downhill screamer. I got one my self, and on many a gnarly hill, I never had a ugly wobble. So take that phat new ride of yours to the scariest hill you can find, pucker up, and launch yourself like a man, dude. Any of you other meatheads have any glorious crash tales for the Spankster? Come on you weenies, feed my addiction!

Hey, guys. I am ruined. Once, I went down a totally wicked hill on a shortboard, wobbled like a punk and got really messed up. I recently got a Sector9 pintail, and am afraid I will wobble if I try to go down a hill that size again. I feel as if my board will take care of me on a big hill, but am wondering if it will still wobble. Should I be afraid? Please inform and instruct me, so I will have the balls to go down another big hill

hey spanky- who you calling a meathead, fag? why don't you take off your weak ass (maxi) pads, uh body armor, and skate like a real man? every real skater is bound to fall and fuck himself up once in a while, so who the hell are you to be criticizing anyone. why dont you put the envelopes down and start using your feet to push concrete.
late.
p.s. i dont know about you, but ive gotten laid on a longboard.

Eggman, your story is pathetic, getting wammered up and cruising your long board to the parties is not a stroke of genius. Forgoing the medical treatment is the only smart thing you did, those doctors can really fuck you up. If the lady in the car had any sense, she would have mowed you down right on the spot, rather than give your sorry ass a ride. And what would you have done if you picked up some nasty babe at the party, you can't exactly get laid on a longboard! Lets face it Eggman, your'e a meathead too, you and Dan, and Scabbs ought to form a club! I have crashed, but it was always pushing the envelope, always straight and sober. I'll relate a crash tale later, for now just try to wear body armour before you skate, we'd hate to loose one of you guys! This is the Spankster saying, adios!

my tales can never match these tales but:
i can recollect chasing a jogger down the hill and well i caught him even though he had a 2 mile head start on me but well i was pushing way too hard and then the wheels slipped out on a frontside turn and i went out over the board and landed and bounced on my hip, one two three, yeah. the jogger asked are you okay?

was riding a 10 foot ditch here in sb on my sector.
went for a backside air, didn't see the debris on the top of the ditch.
pulled the air but didnt notice that a piece of wire tied to
a cemented in pole at the top of the ditch had actually hooked
onto my back wheel and truck. dropped about two feet back in
when the wire pulled taught and my board stopped dead cold.
i on the other hand kept moving.
next thing i know im laying at the bottom of the ditch looking
at my board suspended on the wall and my collarbone is
FUCKING KILLING.
go home smoke a few bongies and make my way to the hospital.
broken collarbone. BUMMER.
good thing there was no surf for about a month after the crash.
cant wait for the rains to stop so i can go back and huck
myself in the air again.
be careful and make sure you clear any unnecessary debris.

I was goin' down really fast, let's say something about 40 miles per hour, then suddenly i my trucks feel very loose. I was down on my board,but when the things started get really scary, i raised my body and lost control at all...
Now i'm wearing some cataplasmas all over my body. Kids, always use safaty gear or you can find yourself just like me right now!
Brazil is a nasty place for good and long downhill sessions. The best place is on Rio de Janeiro, just near the Cristo Reentor, one of the world's mos knowed post cards
come on and rip it!

My worst crash was bombing on a sidewalk with my brother, i've only been longboarding for a month and its dark. I start to pass him but didn't pay attention to the curb that i suddenly fell off of. My forearms and shoulders were beef jerkey and my wrist never works the same and my left ankle is a bigger than my right.

I was racing down our 7 story parking Garage at Michigan
State with about five of my friends. There were these big I-beams that crossed along the outer edge about 3 feet off the ground. We were shoting through them all night. Then after a fat blunt we decided to race to the bottom no holds. My friend and I shot through one of the crossed I-beams. We were goin about 20-25 miles an hour. My friend made it, I didn't. My ass was stickin out a little and the beam stopped me dead. My board shot out and I just stopped. I laid there for an hour than my friends carried me home. The next morning I got up to go piss and I pissed pure blood! That really sux. They said I ruptureds a kidney and cracked a vertebreae. So, watch your Backs and keep flowin.
