your worst skateboard bail

K'jellman · Posted: Oct 01, 2005 2:08 pm Post subject: your worst skateboard bail

skateboarding can be painful.. no questions about it.. but what's the worst bail you've ever done on a skateboard?

i've done a handful of nasty bails.. but i've never been severly injuried.. the worst one would be when i crashed on my knee once.. it looked like a football because it was so swollen.. and i couldn't skate for a month.. then when i got back on the board a month later i smashed the same knee again and couldn't skate for another month.. Sad

i hate splits.. and they happen in wakeskating to..that's the price you pay for not having the board attached to your feet..

3 years ago i was 50-50ing this ledge that looked like an L and i slipped out into a front boardslide and hit the connecting part of the L and fell back with my arm behind me. i broke both the bones in my forearm completely in half. it looked like i had 2 elbows. its welled up really big, so big it broke my watch right off my wrist. i was in a cast for 2 months up to my shoulder. it sucked so much not being able to do anything all summer(it happened the 2nd week of summer vacation).

I aired a spine and slipped out and whipped the back of my head against the concrete and had a really severe concussion- I was knocked out for a few minutes, then when I got up I was having convulsions and talking gibberish- and I pissed my pants. Rode an ambulance to the hospital, and they almost had to cut the back of my head open to give my brain room to swell up. Was in bed for a week after that.

I was ollieing this grass gap, and my truck broke on the landing, i went face first into the concrete, broke my nose, cut my lip open, and blacked out for a few minutes.

Hill bombing, and I got those lovely speed wobbles, tried to get forward more on my board to correct it and beefed hard, I needed 18 staples to put my head back together.

olling this huge puddle at mach 5 speeds, balance leaned forward so i kicked the board out of the way and came down on my right knee, hyperextended it. tore some tendons a bit on the side of my knee and some that go behind the knee cap. took 8 months to heal.. couldnt walk for 2 weeks. i missed so much snowboarding and skateboarding.

my worst was when i was doing a 3 set of stairs and trying to do a hardflip down it but i kicked wrong and nutted myself and fell into the splits....

but for all the head injuries wear a helmet!

NickFromCanada, Helmets are for squares Rolling Eyes

Jesse, You made me remember about this one hill i bombed, i was having a good day, and my half cabs are always reeeeally consistant, so i decided to throw one while going like a gajillion miles per hour, over-rotated, and landed to far on the nose, had a weird feeling slip out, and bashed the back of my head into the ground.

And today i basically grew a new knuckle by being hit in the finger with a badminton racket Crying or Very sad

5 or 6 broken bones in the past few years but the two that stick out are snapping my forearm in half and snapping my ankle so i was just wlking on the stump and the ankle was like rolled over. the forearm was actually hilarious because i was in such denial that it didnt hurt and i started laughing histerically
