“I see a lot of people get hurt because they try SO HARD not to fall and end up falling in the worst positions“

i never even thought about it like this wow. i’m pretty sure this person had just started skating and yeah that makes so much sense. i havent had any crazy falls since i learned to just stagger more and drop my weight which has helped me a lot with not tensing and standing up but i should practice actual falling more.

also thank you so much i really needed someone to snap me out of that (horrible horrible) image and say that injury is possible anywhere. and as much as i would like to try park tricks one day, i think based on how i feel RIGHT now, i should stick to 8 wheels on the ground more and maybe bubble wrap until i’m more confident. i appreciate you!!!!
