Artist's Comments

I did an awesome job of hurting myself skating today. Thought I'd share it with you all. I had one of those days where every time you fall, you fall in the worst and most painful way.

'the worst and most painful way', everytime?!!

that means you fell on a pole nads-first and got a pole-equivalent of a kick to the bollocks Every Time You Fell.

:O !!!

...no wonder you were in pain! usually i'm down and out after one kick to the boys.

Mmm. It was that and exhaustion. I got really pumped and used up all my energy within the first 20 minutes or so, haha. But the reason I'm down in that photo is because I was kickflipping a four stair, and just as I went to catch it with my back foot ... well, I didnt lift my back foot up enough so it actually went into the tail of the board. The board hit me right in that little sensetive area just below your inner ankle, and to say it "pinched the nerve" would be an understatement. It hammered the thing. Like, it freaking hurt. I was almost in tears. That's mostly why I'm like that in this photo.

Thank you! Yeah I went through the stage of considering quitting ... but like, I don't think I could because I've built so much from it. Like, I'll never forget the day I landed my first kickflip. I was so happy, and I guess that's the kind of feeling skating gives me more often than not ... but I can definately see why people quit. Thank you! :)

O honey, dont you know? Once skateboarding has you, you can never quit!! :D :nod: I started skateboarding when i was around 13 and though i totaly sucked at it, still kept going on. Spraind ankels, broke my hand, Had a concussion, scraped half of my face off and then some... But it is all worth it when you make that trick after all that had work. Doesnt matter how simple the trick is, its the fealing when you do it that counts. I think you know the rest.. :D Nowdays i just cruise around and it still feels the same... One LOVE!! Commited to skateboarding!! thats all... Never Quit!!

... I think that was the best comment I have ever read! Very well said! Gawsh I've never had injuries as horrific as those ... I remember I rolled my ankle 4 times trying to back 180 some stairs. That was horrible.
I know exactly what you mean ... that feeling of accomplishment, like you've done something. Every time I land something for the first time, this feeling of pride just pulsates through me. More often that not, though, my friends aren't standing still to see it! I can't ever see myself stopping skateboarding. It's just too huge a part of my life!
