.... 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.
