SuperSumoYakuza has crashed on my longboard really hard

I've been skating my whole life. My first "black knight" board had clay wheels, I remember the polyurethane revolution well, I rode with the Z-Boys on occasion, and I am a lifetime member of the long gone Pipeline skatepark in Ontario, CA. I've been a tester of electric powerboards for eXkate and others. I do my own powerboard designs now.
To be more sustainable, I gave up dual car ownership, opting instead for mass transit and longboarding to get around most of the time.
Man, I sure hate wide expansion joints on creek overpasses. I was dropping down this one hill, totally late and trying to make good time. Too late, I saw the dreaded gap. Two inches plus wide and three quarters of an inch deep gap stretching all the way across the street and across the sidewalks on each side. No way to stop and no way to ollie my flat deck Coastline longboard.
If I had more time, I would have at least carved over and hit it at the most extreme angle possible, but as I said, I was preoccupied and didn't see it until it was too late.
My board stopped dead. I didn't. I flew quite a few feet onward before coming down on the cement very hard. My left hand was crumpled under me and the celly in my backpack sling got crushed between my ribs and the ground making for some really attractive contusions on my chest. I ended up with a broken wrist (my second) that I have no insurance to get fixed, so I wear a removable brace when it hurts and try to baby it as much as I can (which is not a lot, unfortunately).
I love longboarding and powerboarding but at 40, the full asphalt body slams are sure hurting a lot more than they used to...

Although some classes advise additional workout tools to facilitate most people - items like water the iron and hydro baseball gloves - all you could really need is your swimsuit.Yet, water sneakers, which will help keep you with slipping upon wet materials, may deemed a good financial commitment. Water sessions usually begin with a get hot segment that generally can run around eight minutes much longer than that, light workouts in both your legs and arms, geared at boosting your blood stream
