Yesterday contained the scariest 3 seconds probably of my entire life. I was riding my new integrity (which r0x0rZ mY b0x3rZ) and I cut out for a back bigs, I pop it, spin it, land with my feet a little too far on the heels and fly forward. What I didn't realize in the air, was that my arm had gone through the handle and I was about to get ripped a new one. When I hit the waer, I felt the initial jerk and felt my muscles just getting annhialated (sp?)

When I finally got off of the handle, my arm was bruised all up the side and bottom and now I can barely move my right arm. I went and got it checked out. Luckily, I didn't pull anything and it's just some bruised tendons and muscles. It'll probly be another week til I can ride Sad

Yeah, you got very lucky. I know a guy who had all the muscles from elbow up pulled down and bunched up. Permanently. He still rides and competes on the tour, which is cool, but he's lost a bit of strength.

i did that one time on a bs 180. did it feel like the handle was poppin down your arm or was it just one pop and it was off? Either way its scary as shizzle. I read somewere that parks got his head caught in the handle. i cant even imagine.

Aye, sea turtles!

The board rips so hard, holy crap. Compared to my k39 this thing was frickin perfect. I thought I liked flat wood decks til I got used to the integrity. My friend, Ben "hold my" Handley was seriously killin it soooooo much harder on it. He was taking everything higher and landing everything so much cleaner. It got me really stoked. I was doing good til that last back bigs Evil or Very Mad
