Well when you're about 14-17 skating with maybe 8 if that other skaters and a mod of Casuals come by and beat the shit out of you, there's maybe 15-20 of them, they're all about 16-22 and just looking for fights there's really not much you can do, run the fuck away and hope they don't get you, throw you're board in a bush/roof/ where ever so they don't hit you with it, i mean to be honest if you're skating and someone runs up, punches you in the back of the head by the time you turn round someone else it hitting you, all your friends are getting kicked to fuck, everywhere you look is just your friends getting battered on mass, basically there's fuck all you can do
However now i'm older it's different, you can tell what's about to go down, i guess sixth sense from getting kickings, you know when shits about to happen and weather you can handle it or not, the guy starting the fight might look the hardest but he's probably not, it's his mate that not saying fuck all, the cocky shit who starts the fight normally runs off as soon as he gets hit, then his mates wade in, then the cocky dude comes back to kick you in the head and shout some crap about not fucking his him
But if you hammer the first guy HARD as fuck, the metality of fighting changes, you stop being the victim and start being the agressor, once you do that, the guy's attacking realise this is an actual fight not just beating the shit out of someone like they though.
I've been punched about, then smacked someone, the guy burst into tears and started begging me not to hit him, with all this shit about he didn't start the fight - seriously if you punch someone in the face you start a fight, but then his mates all shit themselves cas the "leaders" crying and freaking out, i seriosuly didn't know what the fuck was going on, but they fucked off, then came back and wanted to fight, then when the scraping really started he started crying again, just fucked up, when wee minks realise you're not scared to fight 10 against 4 they fucking freak out and you've won mentally, then all you have to do it "chase" them about 20 foot and they;re gone
I've been kicked to fuck plenty, but belive me if i can scrap my way out of it i will, i'm over getting the shit beaten out of me by groups of ferial youth
