I saw that photo and got worried your collarbone was donezo. Glad youâre doing okay. Once I broke mine it never went back. Youâre a tank if thatâs all that happened at that speed (I broke 2 vertebrae 1 in my neck, 1 lower back, shattered metacarpal and a few others in my hand, at 42mph a few years back)
Once again glad you are okay dude, Iâm rooting for you on the recovery and hope you get back on the board soon.
You and me both dude. Seeing my shoulder in a visibly different shape than normal was certainly spooky.
Iâd love for this to be the case but I gotta give credit to my dual axis knee/shin guards, I was only riding a few miles so my gear was pretty minimal but I got an urge to wear my good knee pads as well. Iâm pretty confident those probably took the brunt of the impact and did an incredible job protecting me, my legs and knees arenât even aware that I crashed.
Yeesh, hoping your recovery went well man.
I came out pretty lucky for sure.
Thanks man, I appreciate the support.
The board took a beating but overall looks like it also came out really lucky, I have yet to check in depth though.
I definitely obliterated my PNWesk8 charge port cover. Iâm probably going to retire the whole charge port as well as the Z mote. My ESC enclosure took a beating as well but looks structurally fine so I think thatâll be fine to leave battle scarred.
I really appreciate all the support yâall, Iâm down but not out, Iâll be back in the bindings soon.
Mine has never done back. Forever funny lookinâ, luckily thatâs it. No pain unless iâm going ham on a backpack trip.
And dude heck freakin yeah iâm so glad your board is still in decent shape, at least now you got something relatively easy to tinker on while youâre moving slow.
Weâve all had our fair share of falls but getting up to that speed our group gets smaller. Just good to see another rider safe and in a good spot after a spill (as good as you can be lol).
Keep us updated we are thinking about you.
Esk8ers help Esk8ers
motor went bluetooth at around 30-35mph just before i normally start braking hard for a 90° turn. it was either slam into a reinforced gate or bail in the grass. couldnât ride it out in the grass cause the fence extends out too far for me to swerve around. board and myself did a barrel roll and that was the only damage somehow, fortunately
edit: line was about where i realized my motors went bluetooth and dot was where i put it down. forgot i also had to squeeze my way between a pole too
I assume âwent Bluetoothâ means wireless, as in the wires popped out. Looks like a top-of-rear-trucks ESC box, so idk what could have ripped the wires out
This was my partner falling this time, and rather than falling by any fault of their own (my preferred method) they fell because the zealot deck completely snapped where the trucks mate
X-rays donât show any bone damage, just some lost skin on the hand and elbow.
This happened to me as well on my first esk8, a backfire 2b something, but broke near the back truck while braking in the middle of traffic. And this was back when i just weighed 52kg lol. Backfireâs decks seriously suck monkey balls. Hope you and your friend heal up nice and quick
