Skate Life

Bad Luck First Time Out

So I went skating Saturday for the first time in 2 years or so. I was fairly rough but still landing my royales, souls and few topside variations. The park I was at was laid out horribly and was small but there was one ledge that started off small and went straight beside a bank so it ended up a few feet off the ground. I was souling the shit out of it and the last thing time I hit it before I was ready to go my freaking wheel caught and I feel and landed on my back and hit my elbows on the ground and freaking broke my wrist....again. Not a good way to start my skating season.

Most people think I should stop skating since I'm getting older (25 next week) but I don't want to stop I just want to stop breaking my damn wrist. Last time I skated 2 years ago I fell attempting a 360 over a box and landing on my elbow and broke my wrist so I haven't had a good track record the last few times.

I don't know maybe I just need to not go as big until I get my groove back....but what's the fun in that.

Comment by mttkauffman on March 10, 2009 at 11:20pm: yeah vicodin doesn't like me at all ice been super out of it and light headed which would not make for good skating not to mention the freaking hiccups I've had all day.
