What trick were you trying when you unexpectedly ate shit?
-
Frontside bluntslide on a ledge, just as I was learning how to pop off. Don't even know how, but split my shin open down to the bone. 16 stitches for that one.
-
Rock/blunt to fakie.
-
This redhead from Estonia.
I’m still in PT from it.
-
Chinese nollie down a parking garage
-
Several of my broken bones were on basic tricks: rock to fakie (wrist), FS 50-50 (arm), BS 50-50 (ankle).
Then I went and broke my elbow trying noseslide to nollie laser flip out. I stuck it twice, but I didn't even get the noseslide part on the one where I broke my elbow.
-
frontside boardslide on a tiny ledge didnt lean back and look over my shoulder slipped and had one arm sticking out broke it.
-
Rolling down the street on my skate board.
Hit a crack and l got four stitches.
Bleeding out the mouth,
Ended up in the fourth ward.
-
I knocked myself unconscious trying rock to fakie on a spine. Was wearing a helmet at an indoor skatepark and just woke up randomly after being blacked out.
Broke my wrist after speed wobbles
Most recently I was ollieing another deck, clipped it, it toppled over wheel side i landed on it and fell so damn hard but luckily I was good. It was fucked up because I didn't see it coming-- I was so disoriented by the impact. I think I'm still not quite back from it.
And... I forced a heelflip one winter and stomped primo and heard a loud AF "pop!!!" noise... but it was my board against the pavement. Ankle was severely rolled limped for 2 months.
-
warming up one day, fs 50-50 on a foot high ledge...
came down with all weight onto a crooked front foot..
my ankle wrapped around and touched my calf...
good times.
-
I remember I ollied this curb years ago after starting skating again, my board slipped out and my left shoulder mashed the ground (I mean, this UGLY "mash" sound was made) and I lost almost all the range of motion in it for like 8 months. It was probably a hairline fracture or some shit but I never went to the doctor.
-
This little nipple/volcano thing at our local park. It just started to rain, and i popped over the side of it, and when i landed i slipped out so hard and fell right on my tailbone, smashed my right elbow and then knocked myself out. I woke up a sec later and couldn't stand up, thought I was paralyzed. Then the pain hit and I just laid there for a few minutes until I could roll onto my side and push myself up. Had a massive bruise on my arse for 3 weeks, couldn't sit down for one and my elbow still hurts.
-
When I was 12 I tried to boardslide down this railway tie that we moved in the gap between two parking lots. Ate shit and got multiple fractures in my left wrist (I'm left handed). Two days after the cast came off I crashed a snowmobile and broke it all over again.
Now 30 years later I can tell when then the weather is going to change..but I'd try it again.
-
I tried to nose bonk a trash can. My front foot slipped to the front of the nose and i rolled my ankle so my foot sole touched underneath the deck. My ankle immediately swole up four times it's size and my whole foot was black/blue. Couldn't skate or walk properly for 4-5 months.

That's horrendous. In fact a lot of these have me feeling lucky I haven't done anything really bad to my ankles.
I just remembered this one... There used to be a "mini ramp" at this half indoor half outdoor park I'd go to. Except the ramp was prob around 8-9 feet and to this day I believe built incorrectly. Had too much vert for the size. I dropped in fully padded like 3 times, I go back up try it again... ate it like a sack of bricks to flat. Luckily I was about 14 at the time otherwise it would've been devastating.
-
Had a weber a fracture on my left foot this year from trying bs bluntslides and folding my ankle while landing. They were working really well that day and i became to careless. Haven´t tried bluntsliding a ledge since then but still do them on slappy curbs.
-
was rolling up to a quarter the other day, 100% focused.....and got taken out unexpectedly by a kid, hit head my head and my vision turned green for about ten seconds, fuckin weird
-
Ate a buncha mushrooms and went for a sw bs flip over the hip at my local, landed one foot on one foot off and twisted my knee so hard. Haven’t skated in 2 weeks since, it blows. Pretty low impact move did not expect to get fucked up that bad.
-
Pop shuv 5-0 on like a foot high ledge off a bank. Landed primo on the ledge somehow, fell backwards and bruised right above my tailbone.
-
cracked a rib when I somehow landed on my elbow after doing a weak ass fakie ollie down a slight incline in a parking lot and immediately running into a pebble
-
There's been a few times pivot fakies have unexpectedly put me down hard that and pop shuv's on pyramids.
-
highlights I can recall ( although there are plenty more, I'm unfortunately not a natural and had to work for all of my tricks )
Probably about 10 yrs old ... doing slappy bluntslides on three yellow super waxed curbs in line. Things were going fine until I leaned back too much, slipped out and focused my back directly in the middle on the middle curb.
Vans Milipitas Skatepark was trying to ollie the pyramid to tail down the hubba. Ollied, landed on my tail at the perfect placement on the hubba and shit stuck. I somehow instead of flying forward as you'd expect with that speed went face first to the ground right at the bottom of the hubba, missing it with my face but clipping it with my arm. Surprisingly no serious injury minus what I'm assuming was a concussion.
Skating a 6 stair rail solo one day when I was first learning them and did a few boardslides. This was before I had money to get a board when I needed so the tail was pretty razored down and not much left. Went boardslide to fakie and my foot landed half on half off the almost non existent tail causing it to roll off and me to roll over it with the full force of coming off the rail. Couldn't walk for a few weeks
-
I was trying to ollie off a curb into nose slides on a planter a couple of feet away. Got ambitious and started trying various shuvits out.
On one attempt, the board slid away and my hand landed on the corner of a broken tile on the inside of the planter. Ripped a 4-inch/1-inch chunk out of my thumb and palm. Got a better look than anyone should at the bones and tendons in my hand.
Bonus points. I ran to a nearby Chinese Dr who only put in 4 chunky stitches, leaving me with a hand that looked like something in a butcher shop window.
That night, I woke up with my hand spurting blood all over my bedroom wall. Jets of blood flying 3 feet in the air. Had to go to the ER to have it fixed right.
Ended up having to wear a stinky wrist guard for 18 months whenever i skated. Weak.
-
i tried to bs 50-50 up this weird ledge near a loading dock where the ledge went up like a hubba and the ground went down like a bank. board kicked back i fell forward and for some reason didnt even try to catch myself as i landed on my side. my friend equated the noise my body made when i slammed to someone dropping a ham out a 2 story window.

Yikes :-\

Probably one of the funniest ones I've taken, was meant to be straight 5050 drop 5050 but the lock in on the first 5050 fucked up and went feeble so when I dropped I landed on the nose, slipped out and flipped back. Got up, ran back and did it next try then sat down and realized my pinky was broke.

Went to this lil skate jam event thing on Sunday at a park under a bridge, ended up drinking and smoking a bit too much to skate properly so just cruised about. Theres this kicker to ledge with the kicker right up against it making for a perfect wallie spot, seen my pal trying it so I told him we'd do it doubles to get some hype going. Arguably I should have went first instead of second as if there's one trick I'm consistent with at wallies whereas he was sticking or bailing. Third attempt in and he bails his, I stick mine and roll away into his board, get pitched right when his board flips over and just took the impact onto my thigh/ribs by landing on his wheels/trucks. Got a nice lil bruise on my ribcage from that.
-
this one time when i was learning back tails, i slipped out and body slammed the ledge. didn't attempt them for a year thereafter. i got them now, though. they're my favorite slide trick :)
-
first time I tried to do a boneless on tranny thought I was gonna be a badass and do it over a little channel gap, landed on it, shot out, died

That clip feels like watching a Ben Stiller movie.
Gnarly slam.

50-50s on flat bars.
-
Those first few rock fakies get everyone.
-
back 180 to nosegrinds? switch 5-0? Whatever it's called when the ledge is frontside, you back 180 and land in a switch 5-0 or nosegrind if you were oriented regular. Like an overturned front noseslide. Jesus, this tricks even harder than describing it believe it or not. Might be the first time I legitimately smacked my face on the floor. Scared of it ever since. Been hopping on a few but without committing lately. Any tips would be appreciated.
-
There are two I can think of where I knocked myself out cold, and probably have some long term CTE.
First was a back 5-0 on a small park hubba, I put both wheels on the deck and zooted out right to the bottom. Hit my head pretty hard and woke up with ten people above me. I was foggy for a day or two after.
Second, Was about two months later. I hung up on a pivot fakie in a six foot concrete bowl, right to my head on the flat. Was out for five or so minutes and got a sweet ride to the hospital in an ambulance. I had post concussion symptoms for about a month after. I still haven’t been able to get myself to commit to a pivot fakie since. I can do blunt fakie and feeble fakie, but the pivot fucks with me.
-
alley oop front 180 nosegrind. overshot it and took good hipper/swellbow, haven't tried since
-
Slammed hard on a bs blunt on a small diy spine, came up got the bs blunt slipped out and landed on my ribs. Went back two weeks later and slammed same way and my side was bruised for a longtime. Never got that trick again and I think I am fucked from skating a spine.
-
Nearly every time I got broke off hard was not trying anything hard. It's when you think you have it easy and just get tossed like Supermanning from Hitting a small rock pushing through a parking lot holding a coffee... True story.

pretty much every session that I'll try to do a front 180 to switch back crooks on a ledge, guaranteed one of my many attempts i go into lipslide and get pitched.
Then i feel like a bitch for eating shit so i force myself to land it while i'm pissed and my adrenaline is running lol
-
rock to fakie, never tried after
ollie down a 4 stairs after 5 months of skating. Broke a bone on my left foot like a dumbass. Did my first and cleanest inward heelflip 30 minutes before that, perfect pop and landing, I thought this would be a good session.
-
Front crooks, on anything. Never could figure it out, my foot always touches the ledge/flatbar or whatever and sends me flying onto my back. Still eludes me. Also tried a nollie back noseblunt on a flatbar one night cause I thought I could be Koston, smacked my head so hard I'm still recovering 20 years later. When I forget what I did last weekend, I blame it on that one attempt.

Dropping in
Me: 11 . 0 experience skating park. Never skated any transition. 1000+ hours of tony hawk pro skater. Saw every episode of Sk8-tv. regularly Watching games repeats and gigantic skatepark tour on ESPN at midnight. Just got a Gundam wing skateboard from Walmart because we had already gone to target and couldn't find a Tony Hawk board.
Went to the brand new vans skatepark. Dude is skating the 9ft vert ramp. Bailing on kickflip indy to fakie, because he's obviously trash. Get on the deck. Figured I'd do a couple of setup airs before I start trying 5's.
I put my tail on coping immedietly get scared. Start humming superman by Goldfinger to hype myself up. Kickflip indy guy is talking to some girls through the fence. total Poosey. set my tail up again and put my front foot on the board. immediately slam on the flat bottom blackout. K.Findy posey picks me up. Helping some random kid up like a chad.
Decided I should skate the mini instead because guy Mariano and alf killed the sk8tv mini anyway. pretty much repeats vert ramp experience again.
looks at decks in the pro shop until my parents pick me up.
-
Most of ‘em.
-
The only bone I broke skating was due to falling while doing a manual. Talk about embarrassing.
-

my favorite part of this clip is that he just silently walks away at the end. cracks me up.

My first attempt at a back boardslide on a recycled plastic bench we all used to skate way back in the day. Slid out, crushed my elbow, bled forever. The concession stand guy at the pool almost passed out handing me ONE napkin. I said, I'm probably going to need a couple more.
-
a lot

Sprained my ankle 3 times trying to kickflip down a 3 stair at my local skatepark, retired from flip tricks down sets over 10 years ago.

Personally:
Age 24: I'm done with flip tricks... I wasn't.
Age 31: I'm done with popping my tail... Hmm... Scraping still on the table.
I almost want to show video of my skating at 28 vs 31 but anyone 25 and under will be traumatized for what's in store.
-
Frontside rock on an extension. Hung up. Pitched to flat. I’ll never forget it.

Def not done with flip tricks, but I make good and sure im ready to commit to that flatgroup treflip before I go for it.

Always got hurt the most at the park we'd go to back in the early/mid-90s.
BSTS to fakie attempt down a small plastic-coated ledge to slip out to wind knocked out of me
Trying to finally learn how to feeble and pop out well on the knee high rail 1000x straight to the hip to grapefruit growing on the side of my body for a month (and still a nice pocket of something there 20+ years later)
FS5050 tall ledge to board stops dead to flying into someone coming at me and taking us both out
Switch FS5050 attempt on knee high flat rail to down on bank to bank setup to slip out to cracked ribs and having to pull out of the contest 30 minutes before it was about to start
My ankles hated the streets, but the rest of me hated the the parks. And mini ramps, got a few scars on the dome from those things as well.
-
I uh rolled down a huge asphalt bank and fucked myself up trying to dump truck off a rail...
lol
-
I dislocated my elbow on a 50-50. Wet + wax + wheels = :o
-
Back Smith on a 5 foot qp. Hung up and jumped to flat with my ankle folded. Couldn't skate for a few months but luckily it was winter.
-
I knocked a front tooth out on a frontside rock in a mellow 4 footer, which is ridiculous, but oddly it didn't really hurt too bad. The worst I've had is a boxers fracture and sprained shoulder when I went to do a nosepick, my truck wasn't locked in so I slid out causing my hand to get smashed between my board and the coping and then I fell forward yanking my shoulder.
-
Slid a front nose slide all the way to the end of the out-ledge tonight, tried to come out straight and twisted the ever loving shit outta my ankle.
Fortunately there are no real ligaments left in there to fuck up, so I just stayed on the ground for a minute or two until the searing pain stopped.

Any grinds on ventures in late 90s
