One night there was a power outage that stretched for blocks, including the skatepark(no lights so we left), and my friends and I went to bomb a hill down the street. It's probably 2 blocks long and pretty smooth, but half way down people started running extension cords across the street to get power. I didn't even notice them until I was about 5 feet away, that's probably the scarriest cuz I knew I was about to eat shit. Either that or the time I smacked my head and started bleeding, and my friend told me he could see my brain. But technically I got scared after I already fell.

did you jump off before you hit the extension cords or hit them?

how come you didnt pop a ollie?
I sort of jumped off as I hit them and got like 2 steps in then hit the ground. I would have gladly ollied over it but there was no time. I didn't see it until it was seriously right in front of me; I just wasnt expecting it, it was one of those moments where you're helpless.

A few years ago I was filming a line that ended with kickflip a skinny 13, I was pretty much hoping that I wouldnt land the first tricks. Ended up doing it because my friend offered me a board for it. That and when I was skitching my friends car and got my arm and almost my head run over.

Not bad.

Speed wobbles while bombing hills more than anything else.  I had a bad fall that could have really fucked my brain up if I wasn't lucky, and that's tough to get out of your head (no pun intended.)

Anytime i'm coming back from an injury is scary too.
