I was originally going to title this "I used to be a well coordinated human like you, but the I took a skateboard to the knee", but…
Anyway, Saturday was an amusing day. I got home from work and saw my brother and sister skateboarding on our driveway. Here's a transcript, for the court:
Quote:
Witness testimony– Ohshitskateboard –I was walking down the driveway at about 2:30 PM…I looked down and saw the skateboard that my sister had just stepped off. So I decided to try skateboarding again, for old time's sake…Next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground, and couldn't feel my knee.
Were you trying to do any tricks? I messed up my ankle yesterday when I caught a tre flip too early and rolled my foot. Still skated like an hour after that, like a boss.
When I crack my head off of the cement, catch the board on my knee, land wrong and twist my ankle, or any of that crap, it actually helps me feel better to keep skating.
Yes, I can see how blunt head trauma might make skateboarding seem like a good idea.
Maybe minus the brain injuries and stuff, but the pain definitely makes me wanna skate even harder. It's just when I stop that I begin to regret it all. *Street skater logic.
