You know what they say: You cant believe everything you read.

So just because that the little slip of paper that came with my Heelys said not to put my feet side by side, and every website I went to said "Always keep one foot in front of the other". I guess I thought it was all a part of some Heely conspiracy.

Well it wasn't.

I raced all the way down the driveway, and made it to the sidewalk on my feet, I was so proud of myself that I stood there (feet side by side) basking in elation. The next thing I knew I was sitting on the sidewalk basking in the pain that comes from breaking your fall with an unprotected elbow.

So kids todays lesson is: You SHOULD believe everything you read on the internet

that is all...

Nice. I smashed my shin when I went to stall on a bench yesterday. It isn't that bad, but here it is. My legs were really dried out cuz I hadnt put on lotion yet. I hate it when my legs are all dried out. I guess it's one of those girl things...

*edit*
I was trying to do the stall I have my icon of. I got my right foot onto the bench, and when I was pulling my left leg up, I slammed it into the bottom of the bench. Hurt like heck even though its a wussy scratch.

These happened when i first went grinding i didnt think they would leave scars.... It happened about in june THIS year (2006)

Thats the whole knee

Thats where the main damage was done

It doesnt look like much in the pictures but if youd see it in real life then itd look like i had a surgery done there or something

Mm, your pics are kinda blurry. I have a scar on my hamstring from a spiked bike pedal from when I was about four. It's about four inches long too. It's mental.

I got hurt once when this guy got out of a cab on the wrong side (you're not allowed to get out street side in New York City).

I was moving at a good clip (most of Broad Street is very smooth) .. and YAWZer - I just had time to get out of the way, but my hand struck the cab door.

I couldn't move my thumb for a week. But at least I didn't break it.

Sorry...

Darwin had the whole thing on how animals that were stonger, faster, smarter than other animals would have lots of babies and animals that were weaker, slower and stupider, would die off and not have lots of babies. basically evolution. So they started this thing when someone does something stupid and cant have kids (becuase they got killed) they call that getting a Darwin Award.

And so if you get out of a taxi on the street side (dumb) and get killed, you cant have kids that grow up and do stupid things, like getting out of a taxi on the wrong side. So ~Drumroll~ Darwin Award Smile

My worst fall was the first day I got my evolutions and it was raining outside ( yeah that says it all huh?) I tried to grind on a 3 1/2 ft bike rack and I'm not even five feet tall. I ended up viewing life from a horizontal view!
