Ok so here is a good place to let us know of any good bails or falls you have taken whilst skating. Please remember new skaters, slipping over and hitting your bum doesnt count as a stack and I will delete any silly things like that. We want to hear some good war stories! But don't be a lying douchebag.

About two years ago I was bombing a hill pretty hard. The back wheel on my right skate chunked out while pulling a t stop, so to avoid flying into heavy traffic at the bottom of the hill I went into a cess slide. My right skate caught something on the sidewalk, causing my right knee to tear completely. Road burn I can handle but hopping home three blocks and up three flights of stairs with damn near every tendon in my knee torn SUCKED. Just now getting back to where I was. Of all the fails I ever had, that was by far the worst. Funny thing is M1 DDs are now my favorite wheel, despite the fact that the disintegration of one of their wheels damn near got me killed. Lol. Sometimes the simplest equipment failure can totally ruin your year... Under the least likely of circumstances, doing the least difficult tricks.

so me and Haze we're riding down a hill and there's a really sharp turn at bottom will haze try to brake right before the bottom and me with out any brake crashes into him and we skid across the street hit the curb and get tossed into a brier patch (i also land in a fire ant hill and I'm allergic to fire ants) my leg is all cut up I'm covered in fire ants my rib cage feel like i was hit with a baseball bat and Haze arms are are cut to hell and has a nice cut on his stomach and we had to pick out 20 trons out for are arms and legs and they were in deep and that's how we started our practice day
