My story is less exciting and more sad than SuperSumo's... I had just started skating again (after 20 year hiatus) and bought a longboard, mostly to have a reason to make my 10 year old son let me hang out with him. We were skating in the subdivision where his grandparents live, and I hit a weird wet patch on someone's treated driveway. Board slipped out from under me, feet went straight out in front of me, and I landed on my back and elbow. I didn't have my ill-sized helmet on properly, so it rolled off my head and across the street. To the silver foxes on the nearby golf cart, I believe it looked like I'd been beheaded. The next day I did something similarly stupid travelling at 1mph and hurt my knee enough that I couldn't walk for a day or two.
I'm a pathetic 40 year old loser. SuperSumoYakuza is my hero.
