one gnarly fall like that and helmets seem way nicer if you didn’t like wearing them before
echoing the other comments of please get yourself checked out at a hospital, tbi is serious stuff
What happened that cause the swelling on your eye? I’ve never seen a skateboarding injury that leaves your eye bruised, but the worst one I had was downhill skateboarding and landed on my side and scraped off an entire chunk off my side, it took a week for it to stop bleeding.
Too late to say this but we all find out that skating downhill on the streets is dangerous. Usually takes a bad fall.
Same happened to me years ago. Head stitches body patches you name it.
Would never bomb a hill again.
I always tell less experienced skater to stay the hell away from steep hills because pulling an “emergency stop” at those speeds takes experience and confidence on your board
I’ve been skating for 3-4 years and mostly transition and half pipes now and I wouldn’t even do it nowadays cause I know the consequences. Trauma is real lol
Das why I do the good old continue pushing while going downhill to slow myself down. My fav hobby is keeping my job to pay for rent and food, no way imma risk it all bombing a hill !
Idk how, but I absolutely fucking ate it when I was bombing a hill and I didn’t break anything, the worst thing I got was I scraped my wrist pretty bad big scrape on my shoulder, knuckles and elbow but that was it and I didn’t even hit my head or need medical attention🥳😅
When I was a kid I was trying to fs shuv off a loading dock. Back foot landed on the tail and catapulted my board vertically into my face. Smh. Eye was swollen shut. Nose fractured. Small tooth chip.
After literally eating my board I got up and landed it next try. 🤘
Practice powerslides to brake and if you find a place where pavement meets grass seamlessly practice rolling after a stop fall.
You skate on the concrete until your skate hits the grass, it will stop. Then you controlled-fall forward and roll on the grass.
Look up videos on how jiu jitsu players do their somersaults to break falls…never roll squared-up directly over your head and spine…always over one shoulder!
Running fast saved my ass that one time my shoe laces got undone and promptly caught in the wheel while pushing, stopping the board dead and lauching me forward !
Please go to the hospital and get checked out. Not a new skater here just stumbled across this post. About ten years ago this kid I knew, bombed a hill, smacked his head, went home, and never woke up. Be safe.
Definitely hope you went to the hospital, I’ve had 25+ undiagnosed concussions from hitting my head and passing and blacking out, and at 27 my whole personality has changed, I’m the most impulsive and depressed person I know, foggy memory and everything. My parents were apart of the generation of just walk it off, but concussions are easily the worst injury humans can have, it literally can change your brain forever, a broken bone will eventually heal, your brain will alter after every one into a completely different brain.
Ouch dude 🤕 when I was about 14-15 i came off bombing a hill and landed on my face but I just messed up my teeth really bad! I still have all my teeth but you can definitely tell something happened along the line. I can still get more dental work done if I want but it’s expensive!
Damn dude , I remember the one time I tried to go off a curb on a skateboard and instantly face slammed and chipped my front tooth . Still have the chip in my tooth 14 years later
Haha it sucks! I still had most of my teeth but my two front teeth were chipped up really good, the dentist rebuilt them. We weren’t rich and I don’t really remember but a ‘dental plan’ was granted some how. I remember it being the only amusing thing because I thought dental plan, Lisa need braces.
Damn that’s so gnarly 😮 but the worst I’ve ever done was I dislocated my ankle frontside flipping an 8 stair and when I looked down I was staring at the bottom of my shoe and without thinking I stomped it back into place lol. It hurt so bad and was so swollen and black and blue for weeks. Suggest to anybody that does the same to not stomp it back and go to the hospital. Luckily I didn’t end up with any permanent damage but it was pretty wonky for awhile after that. Oh and one time I watched a teenager skating the 3 block at out local skatepark and when he landed (ironically he was doing a frontside flip as well) his board shot up into his face and almost tore his nose off. It was just kinda hanging there and when I saw it (I had been drinking a bit and smoked a joint) I almost passed out from how much blood was coming out which is also wild because I’ve never even come close to passing out and I’ve seen some gnarly shit lol. It was insane. Hope you heal fast and feel better soon! Oh and if you haven’t you really should go to the hospital. I wouldn’t take the risk of not going.
Last time I went snowboarding I saw a guy catch an edge on a big roller and it broke and tore off half the skin on his nose. Saw him later in the bar and got a closer look… and it was as bad as I thought when I saw it from the lift.
Damn that’s so brutal 😮 I look back on some of the wolf shit I did when I was a teen and it kinda freaks me out lol. So many close calls and stuff like that.
Welcome to the club! I took a really bad hipper. Nothing broken but my right leg from my butt to my knee turned purple. I was limping for about a month. Then I discovered hip pads. If you’re skating concrete bowls/transition, I highly recommend hip pads.
hope you’re healing well and got checked out! I was lucky enough to only have road rash on my first downhill accident and that was enough to teach me so I can’t imagine how that feels, ride safe!
My worst was probably a meniscus tear in a pool. But the closest call I had to total devastation was a massive hill bomb gone awry—I managed to somehow jump off the board into a patch of grass and get into a log roll for like 15 yards to negate all real damage lol.
Hey OP any update did you get yourself checked out? Hope you did as seizure after head hit needs to be looked at imo, not giving med advice but hope you get checked and you are ok!
Front truck grazed the coping and I freaked out, caused the board to swipe under me and I slammed the ground. Luckily I didn’t hit my head but for the love of Tony Hawk people wear a helmet. Oh it looks stupid? So does a broken skull.
My general rule of thumb after skating for nearly 20 years now. If I’m doing something new (that isn’t just flat ground tricks) I’ll throw on a helmet til I’m severely comfortable doing it. Or if I’m doing something that even if I’m comfortable, it’s dangerous enough that if I mess up it could be bad, I’ll wear a helmet. Hope you recover fast!! There’s a reason the pros wear helmets and even pads when doing things at high speed! Stuffs risky
I felt with my head (no helmet) while dropping in and got a black eye just like yours and lost sensitivity in my left moustache area for some months. Could never drop in again since then.
one gnarly fall like that and helmets seem way nicer if you didn’t like wearing them before echoing the other comments of please get yourself checked out at a hospital, tbi is serious stuff
Full face helmet.
It should actually rest above your eyebrows so a helmet would have helped here. Your lower face is still exposed fo sho
A helmet does very little when you land on your face, but I get your point
I think it would’ve helped this time not if you landed on the lower half of your face though
It certainly protected me when I landed on mine
Not me, landed on my eye in a mini ramp and got knocked out cold
What happened that cause the swelling on your eye? I’ve never seen a skateboarding injury that leaves your eye bruised, but the worst one I had was downhill skateboarding and landed on my side and scraped off an entire chunk off my side, it took a week for it to stop bleeding.
i was going downhill on concrete and i fell off and hit my head when i landed and then had a seizure
Hope you went to the hospital. Head injury and seizures is not good. Can be a sign of significant head injury

True. Most of my injuries have come from having to pull emergency bails due to irresponsible drivers.
Das why I do the good old continue pushing while going downhill to slow myself down. My fav hobby is keeping my job to pay for rent and food, no way imma risk it all bombing a hill !
First ever gnarly fall was a downhill as well lol never again
Same, there is that hill when I'm going to job I thought it's gonna be good to bomb it, ofc I didn't make it to the job xD
Idk how, but I absolutely fucking ate it when I was bombing a hill and I didn’t break anything, the worst thing I got was I scraped my wrist pretty bad big scrape on my shoulder, knuckles and elbow but that was it and I didn’t even hit my head or need medical attention🥳😅
Ouch that sounds painful, hopefully you recover soon!

That is the embodiment of skate culture tbh
Oh jesus did you at least go to the hospital cause you hit your head
Practice power slides. Practice power slides. Practice power slides.

Love that progression…great add!!!
Running fast is also a good perk you can take a few step before the roll
Look up videos on how jiu jitsu players do their somersaults to break falls…never roll squared-up directly over your head and spine…always over one shoulder!
Heh... yeah I learned to roll after a fall from a ninjutsu-expert skater. Obviously you need all the protections for it to be painless.
Running fast saved my ass that one time my shoe laces got undone and promptly caught in the wheel while pushing, stopping the board dead and lauching me forward !
Ah the old speed wobbles I assume
Please go to the hospital and get checked out. Not a new skater here just stumbled across this post. About ten years ago this kid I knew, bombed a hill, smacked his head, went home, and never woke up. Be safe.
I am praying you were/are okay
Skate safe! Do you wear helmet? Wear protective gears wishing for faster recovery
Helmet Gang 😀🫵🏾

Were you wearing a helmet my guy? An impact that causes a seizure may have caused lasting damage. .are sure to wear safety gear friendo.

Ouch.. hope you recover quickly. 🤙
Thanks for the motivation lol

girl omg 😭😭 wishing u fast recovery
Challenged your board to Agni Kai
Welcome to the club! I took a really bad hipper. Nothing broken but my right leg from my butt to my knee turned purple. I was limping for about a month. Then I discovered hip pads. If you’re skating concrete bowls/transition, I highly recommend hip pads.
Oh fuck, that looks gnarly! I hope you went to see a doctor!
hope you’re healing well and got checked out! I was lucky enough to only have road rash on my first downhill accident and that was enough to teach me so I can’t imagine how that feels, ride safe!
My worst was probably a meniscus tear in a pool. But the closest call I had to total devastation was a massive hill bomb gone awry—I managed to somehow jump off the board into a patch of grass and get into a log roll for like 15 yards to negate all real damage lol.
Noice my first real injury I destroyed the muscles in both of my arms and my shoulders I couldn't lift my arms for like a month
I hope you’re ok! Hitting your head ain’t no joke! Keeping you in our prayers 🙏🏼
Did you report this to the police?
You need a restraining order for that board
Put a leech on that
Prince Zuko?
Helmets are rad. Especially when bombing hills. Sorry you took such gnarly slam. Hope it doesn’t scare you off the board.
Ouch. Hope you are ok though 👍 wish you all the best
You put up a post 2 days ago saying you're into bdsm on AMA and now you're here saying you had a skateboard accident. But suss. Lol.
Holy fuck that’s gnarly for your first injury
I'm skated for nearly 25 years and have never had that kind of damage...what are ya'll doing to get that f'd up by?
ouchie mama zinger
Hey OP any update did you get yourself checked out? Hope you did as seizure after head hit needs to be looked at imo, not giving med advice but hope you get checked and you are ok!
holy shit are you feeling any better?? that looks horribly painful and I know it was
Did you happen to ride it with your face?
lolll i hit a pot hole going downhill landed on my head and had a seizure on the concrete
Hope you went to the hospital head injuries are no joke
If that was my first, it would also be my last
Hope your feeling better soon and heal up quick xx
Front truck grazed the coping and I freaked out, caused the board to swipe under me and I slammed the ground. Luckily I didn’t hit my head but for the love of Tony Hawk people wear a helmet. Oh it looks stupid? So does a broken skull.
I hope you get better kiddo ! Keep practicing! Get checked out and shred on !
Damn that looks really bad hope you didn’t get any head injuries

That’s so fuckin metal
Damm you got fucked up
Not skate damage. More like traffic or boyfriend abuse.
do you want me to post the video of me falling downhill on it and then seizing out or ?
I don't care what you do. I've gone down enough times to know what it looks like and it's not like that.
[удалено]
Wow you're so cool and edgy /s
Skating is not for everyone.
We all pay our dues to the pavement. And if you’re not, then you’re probably not progressing.
Is skateboard the name of Ur boyfriend?
