Skate Life

The way it often happens.

I've got a new piece of wisdom in stock: Don't think you're hardcore if you're not wrapped in safety gear.

Ok, so it went like this:

(Sarah is skating around in circles, Jason is sitting on half pipe.)

Jason: You should try going up that ramp.

Sarah: Are you crazy?

Jason: Nah, I reckon if you get enough speed you'll get over fine.

Sarah(edging towards said ramp): What? YOU wouldn't even do it!

Jason: Come on, you can do it.

Sarah: I dunno, maybe.

Jason: Yeah, easy.

Sarah: Yeah...yeah...I can do it...I can totally do it...easy.

(pelts towards ramp, goes up, loses her guts and flails her arms upon reaching the top.)

CRASH!

(Jason laughs and points out that Sarah's tights have a huge hole in the knee.)

Stupid Jason. I'm not listening to him anymore!

At least...not when I'm unprotected :P

It's a shame, really...that ramp was embarrassingly small :D

Comment by Sarah Ward on October 19, 2009 at 7:48pm: Heeey, we need them as much as you guys do:P If anything, falls should hurt us gals less, since we're usually padded up around the hips and bum. Nice and springy:D

Yeah, I think getting your other half into it is a good idea, it's something you can do together regularly, and you'll always have someone to do it with then.

Comment by Kasey on October 25, 2009 at 1:43pm: pads are good! especially wrist guards, I'm not a big fan of knee or elbow pads - tho they do help alot when ya bail. I always wear my wrist guards now, had a bad fall at the start of this year n spent 4 1/2 months with my arm strapped really heavily. Not worth it. Anyway, its not about bein hardcore, do it cus ya love it, not to look good.

Comment by Sarah Ward on October 25, 2009 at 4:58pm: Eeexactly! I don't care how stupid I look decked out in safety gear, because I'll look a hell of a lot more stupid as a mangled mess on the floor.
