.... especially when you're going uphill at ridiculously slow, pushing end-of-the-ride speeds.
I locked my front right wheel over one and hit the ground WAY faster than I thought possible.

It's ironic, when you're going a bit faster you can fall and roll nicely, kind of skip across the ground. But fall when you're barely moving and it's straight down.

Good times. I'm back on the board. Reality checks happen.

Beach pebbles and eucalyptus tree seed pod also suck take you down hard and fast.

hit a 1" stone on the nices part of the trail, kinda sleeping with my weight forward. talk about flying. banged up my elbow on the inside of my top arm somehow through the pad. hands tingled from the smack down. air stank with burnt plastic from my pads. love the safety gear. all better now.
