      there was a kid on my campus that rode his board everywhere but never any padding. a few months ago he was riding his board to work when he ran over either a crack or a rock and was lunged forward and hit his head on the sidewalk. his brain stem detached and his family had to take him off the ventilator because he was never going to wake up. his name was logan. there is nothing wrong with padding. it can literately save your life.

      I was skateboarding down a huge hill and well my skateboard started wobbling and I lunged forward and the first thing that slammed to the ground was my head. I was out cold and went to the hospital. I luckily had a helmet on and the nurse said if I hadn’t had one on, I’d crush my skull. I can’t remember anything about that day, that’s just what my mom told me. I only got a concussion, really bad black eye, and cuts all over my hands; arms; legs and face. Always wear a helmet.

    I just started skating and the first thing i found out is that confidence is really key. Don’t try to pretend you’re all experienced or know anything about it, just own that you’re a beginner and be honest and confident about it. If you do that you’ll not only learn way faster, you’ll also find out that most people don’t even care.

      Honestly you're cute and skater boys dream of having a skater girl even if they don't tell their friends. so the only thing you should worry about is if they guys are being overly picky or mean to you they probably just all like you and are too afraid of each other and you to show it. They think how much it would hurt to be nice to you in front of the boys and get shut down by you or called a simp one of his friends so they just protect themselves by being mean. Also to make you feel inferior so you will think they are worth your time. I garentee though if you walk up to one who's by himself they will totally want to help you.

      I started longboarding 3 years ago when I was 41! It's great, I wish I'd started earlier! I felt self-consious at first but have largely got over it. It generally gets a positive reaction from all ages. There is also a Very Old Skateboarders facebook group and I met up with a few of them in a London park once and we cruised around.

Back when I used to race bmx, looped out learning a manual at a pump track, faceplanted into tarmac and nearly got concussed - if I had hit any harder, A&E would have been involved. And only recently, when I was mountain biking, hit a tree and guess what hit the tree first? My head. broke my helmet but not my head, hiked back to the car park, bought a new helmet and went back out. Would've been a trip to a hospital had I not worn a helmet.
