If you ever wanted to dislocate your shoulder eSK8ing, this is the video for you. Complete with actual, up close video of the actual moment. Fun was NOT had by all.
Yo, everybody I know has had a fall recently. I went off very unexpectedly at 30 mph after hitting a recessed manhole lid. I followed the tuck and roll protocol and broke my collarbone. My favorite thing is reading peoples tips about "you should have followed my 17 point procedure to falling off a skateboard. I did this and I just got a few scratches". If anyone goes off a board at 25 mph or faster and doesn't have an injury afterwards, they either saw it coming or they got lucky.
I fell recently but got lucky. I kinda did a front roll and landed on my ass. Best case scenario for a fall going about 27mph I still have a random pain ln my ribs and a scrape on my waist the size of my palm. My fault tho. Didn't do a board check before bringing it out and 2 of the screws were loose.
I feel you brother! Glad you're OK. I dislocated my left elbow recently from a power cut-off at 30mph and I'm all geared up, too! On my week 5 of 12 physical therapy. Safe and speedy recovery!!
Sorry for being a prick, but the fourth thing is definitely your stance, you are too stiff, you got to bend those knees more, plus you don't take advantage of the dropdowns (I see the board wobbling a bit even before the crash). To be fair, I don't think DKP are safe past 25 mph (even more if they were not carefully set up) and that would be the main reason to me. Wish you a fast recovery !
Thanks for sharing. I try to watch as many esk8 crash vids as I can to learn from it. I'm sure I'll crash, but looking to learn as much as I can to delay the crash, and minimize it.
DOUBLE KING PIN TRUCKS ARE DANGEROUS AND DO MOT BELONG ON ANY ESK8!! Man I feel u so much! I dislocated mine same and it was loose kingpin trucks...I'll never use double kingpins again...left shoulder ...it was bad ..out for like 2 hours probably...it still comes out sometimes if u lift something wrong and its been like 2 years ...I keep a sling close by because if it comes out I need to slide it back in immediately ..it will hurt for a day or 2 then its OK again ...I think surgery will have to happen if u want it to stay if for a lifetime depending on how bad it is ...wish u all the best and learn keep a sling near by or learn how to slide it back in
Man you got lucky getting into the grass like you did. Thats why I am not crazy abut those street wheels or DKP on fast boards. Give me some AT wheels.
Can not disagree with you Dude!! Ya, I was lucky, but definitely not the first time I have come off a board and probably won’t be the last. Thanks for the comment.
Yeah I dislocated my shoulder on the Hurricane due to speed wobbles. Tightening trucks and checking them IS more important on eboards. I'm used to skating loose on my street boards and made the mistake that I can handle the same on an eboard. Luckily I had a full helmet. That qas back in November of last year. Since then I make sure my trucks are tight for speed runs and only do those when I'm geared up. Death wobbles sneak up on you and no amount of "experience" can save you from a nasty wipeout. Idc how good you are at falling.
*Nice to see you back man* ⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡ Sorry to hear about the accident man, last I saw you were excited for esk8con. Great that you didn't miss out on it! Lookin forward to the esk8conTent 👀⚡⚡
Thanks Dude...appreciate the comment. This winter has been hard on me. Couldn't board...blew out the shoulder...had to be away from RUclips (as a developer)...BUT being on the boards today made up for all of that. Probably should not be on the boards yet because of the shoulder, but we all take some chances. FELT GREAT! Ya, ESK8CON was dope man. Hope we can get even more there next year. Again, appreciate the view, thoughts and comment.
@@esk8ooligan I've barely skated 3-4months due to a nigglin injury comin back so I feel some of your pain man, glad you're healin well so far. Lookin forward to the videos dude 🤙🏼🤙🏼
It was those things but more importantly it was your legs not being bend and you didn’t get low enough when going such a high speed. Also a your body facing forward and legs facing sideways is bad for balance at such high speeds.
Ouch! At least you're getting back on the horse. Sorry about the shoulder. Heal up, and add a higher duro bushing to that rear truck. Really helps with the wobbles 🤘
I fell off my NLS Pro while I was riding in a new spot. Going 18mph and found a 2 inch deep pot hole right before a bridge. Pulled muscle in my back had me out for a few weeks and some scrapes. No board is gonna go right over a pothole here in NY but I’m upgrading to a hurricane on the bigger pneumatic tires because of all the little cracks my NLS can’t comfortably handle over 10mph. Little stones in bike lanes don’t help when I’m on 100mm PU wheels either. 8mph lol
@@timjackson8193 Hey Tim. Actually it was the right shoulder...camera was being held with the left hand, so filming had very little if anything to do with it. Didn't even attempt to save the camera as you can see in the vid. The camera was thrown. Appreciate the view and comment.
@@jondavey007 Tuck and roll would have been a disaster in this situation. This patch of road had a freshly redone shoulder with multiple small rainwater run-off trenches. If I would have tucked and rolled, the shoulder could have caught one and definitely broke the collar bone. I was luck to have gone into a back slide. Minimized the damage. Tuck and roll is not always the best option. Appreciate the view and comment.
Yeah, F those DKPT that is 100% the fault of the Hurricane trucks. I had the same issue on the Hurricane. I have never crashed on the Zeus cause the trucks are amazing but I did crash on the Hurricane. The Hurricane is good for Carving and off road I wouldn’t take it over 22mph. The Zeus is the king of the road and you can easily top it out on fresh pavement. Bottom line never go over 20 on unfamiliar terrain especially without pads and gear.
Kinda reminds me of my own crash where I broke some ribs and had a hefty wiplash. Same combo: dkp-trucks, street set-up, shitty tarmac and too much speed. Been riding AT ever since...
Sounds like I may have come out with the better end of the deal. Hope you healed up well! This road is a pretty good road. I just happen to find the one bad spot. There is a set of ground in rumble bars that were approaching that I was watching out for. The majority of my issue was the DKP trucks. I had just been over that same road with the GTS with DKP trucks, but I have them tuned better. We always learn lessons. Thanks for the view and comment.
AT Wheels On Roads Like That. I Know You Aren't Fond The Propel EndeavorS But I Ride From One City To Another Through A Remote Country Road At 30 Mph Or 28Mph On Average With Ease. The Coil Over shock Really Is Amazing On Horrible Roads.
Hey Dude. I actually LOVE the Endeavor S and the suspension on that beast...it is the crappy battery that is my issue. I have several sets of off-road tires. I was doing my range tests with the boards and the street wheel setup. Obviously didn't get them all finished. Appreciate the view and comment!!
@@esk8ooligan oh I See On The Prople Try Throwing A Flipsky In It And Maybe A 12s6p Molicel. I'd Recommend The flipsky First Then A Battery After Its Pricey To Do Both At The Same Time And Swap Out The Bushings For The Newer Ones. I Get You , Maybe Try A Safer Route For The Next Range Test. Hope For A Speedy Recovery 🙏🏼. Keep Up The Good Work
@@UC03uikCr6PAv9dklTYGTmbQ hope you're doing ok. I really tighten my trucks so that if I hit any sort of bump and makes me turn it wont be nearly as much.
1: didnt know u were at con! i woulda said hi! 2: 28mph is FAST for a long straight away. that coulda been way worse. thats why i dont stay above 25mph for long periods of time. soo easyy to come off a skateboard at those speeds 3: iv broken my collarbone while skatin, drinkin and ice in the road was a bad mix lol. 4: heal up brotha!
Hey Dude, ya, once I got back, then I saw your live vid. Wish too I would have known. Was a great time!! I'm usually between 25-30 most of the time. Might have gotten a little too comfortable as I had already been over that stretch with the GTS (DKP board) and the same wheels. Didn't have any issues, but I have that board pretty well dialed in. Well, here is to a safe summer of riding for both of us. Thanks man for the view and comment!
Yeah .. i live in norway, u never rly know when the end is gonna slip up under u, but u learn how to glide on ice with grace, that much i can say.. but its not worth the pain it takes to get there, thats 4 sure.. xD also putting screws in the tire ends it.. yes, yes i had to ruine some just to be able to drive more than 1/4 of the year.

i fell off my board going 26mph, i tried running it out but i fell forwards and did a front flip. i got out just a few scratches on my back and hand
I feel you brother! Glad you're OK. I dislocated my left elbow recently from a power cut-off at 30mph and I'm all geared up, too! On my week 5 of 12 physical therapy. Safe and speedy recovery!!
Power cut off? That’s super scary I wouldn’t ride that board again. What board was it?
Bend those knees and be safe brother!
I really like this channel. You are very clear and concise. I've been riding with broken arm and rib fir s month now. Really slowed me diwn.
Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about your injury.

Hi ! I wish you sincerely a quick and full recovery. Take care 😎🤙
Everyone small tip - never straight leg 🦵 at speeds 20+ and wear protective gear outside of the clothes. Be safe and adventure
That is well said, proper stance is essential. Wishing this guy a speedy recovery.

I’ve injured my self a few times holding my 360 camera. Trying to save it from getting damaged
Was thinking the same thing, probably wouldn't have done his shoulder of he wasn't filming
@@timjackson8193 need to tuck and roll 😆 I’ve manage to destroy 3 cameras on my board and I think holding the stick puts me off ballance a bit too

to be honest, i think our boards should be capped at 25.... after 25-30 a crash feels way worse than my crashes at 20.
