I’m totally fine with that :smiley:

@Venom121212 I just had some road rash on the back which i only noticed a few days after the fall.

The pup came to rescue and gave me some life saving kisses :smiley:

Without the video, after the fall, the last thing I would imagine he was doing is skating

Actually, I had to skate back to work and eat my lunch like everything was fine.

Everything wasn’t fine.

How bad was the damage?

No roadrash but a very mild concussion and mostly being very sore for a while. It was winter, so I had lots of clothes on, thank goodness.

Have you had the wind knocked out of you from a skateboard crash yet?
It’s a familiar sound.

No but there are other ways to get winded.

Obligatory “whats in the box?”

did you ever find out?

I accidentally accelerated too hard once. My index finger loves to twitch (hard) sometimes. I use a trigger remote. I fell on my backpack full of tools. I wore a fox titan pro back-protected jacket. Was fucking catching air for 30 minutes. Thought I was going to die right there. :expressionless:

I never went back. That’s also a road I rarely skate. For some reason I was expecting it to just fly off the roadway when I punched it but it felt like there was a sack of bricks in it. It may have had its corner wedged up against the curb. We will never know.

I kicked a traffic road cone, ONCE, when I was on a motorcycle… fucking things can be very heavy when traveling at speed!

Glad you’re ok @b264

I know, the fit initially seems kind janky, but I’ve been able to lever off some impressively tight hex screws with them without damage to either the Wera’s or the screws… if these fail me I’ll look into your suggestion!

I typically use similar for small hex screws.
