had my first fall yesterday

I was coming back from a trip around my neighborhood that I do every day and decided to weave underneath a broken tree branch for fun. It was fun for about 2 seconds until I lost my balance on the way out and rolled right off the board at 20mph. I’ll spare you the photos but essentially I tore my shirt and got some decent road rash on my arms. My legs were spared by thanks to the knee pads I was wearing. Maybe it’s time to start wearing elbow pads as well.

All in all I got pretty lucky and am glad to be the owner of one set of intact bones. Wear protective gear, friends.
