tell me and everyone some stories of skating you have. heres one of mine that isnt too interesting or anything, i just wanna post it.

yesterday, i was skating at a school with my friends. they were hanging onto a rail and trying to kickflip like that. well, there was a meeting going on in a building near where we were skating. a woman came up to us and said the principal will be coming by soon and i guarrentee she will ask you to move along. one of my friends was being a chicken and goes yah okay sure. i had a different plan. we walked around the school and went to the front. there was a small bench I was trying to noseslide and stuff. (couldnt though) then we tried to ollie over a tipped over cone. we didnt land it. it was fun though, and we didnt get caught.

Hmmmm, all my stories seem to be snarley wipe outs for some reason... let's see... me and my cousin where skating, he tried to do a hard flip(the board flies up and side ways between your legs then you land on the oposite end of the board)... well the board was standing strait up when he landed... :o

One of the most painfull looking things I have very seen!

I don't skate.. but I ride a bike! :)

I was riding my dad's bike (cause apparently mine got stolen whilst I had moved out of home) the other day and I noticed the brakes were out of alignment.

'course, at the time, I thought they were going to fall off and the fact that half the brake was always against the wheel was kind of annoying. I don't know much about bikes y'see.

Anyway, I was riding on the footpath and the light was red so I should have stopped but I was in a hurry to get this brake fixed.. however, I checked to make sure there were no cars coming and I judged from the indicators that people were going to go straight ahead and not turn into the road I was crossing.

Boy, how wrong was I. The car that I thought wasn't turning, was, and wheels screeched and words got said but otherwise things were ok.

That's my exciting bike story. :)

umm.. just so I don't sound like an idiot.. I'm usually pretty careful on the roads.. I was just in a hurry so my brake wouldn't fall off. But I learned to not assume anything with cars though.

Same here, don't skate (used to some years ago), ride a bike...

I was just riding, riding, rinding... And suddenly my stearing wheel broke. :o
Wow that hurt!

I got home riding that bike with the stearing wheel in one hand and a little piece of metal -that was left- in my other hand (so that I still could stear a little bit)...

About skating, I once saw somebody landing on a halfpipe and breaking the floor, he fell through it! I think he hurt himself... :D

Don't skate either, but walk or ride my bike.
One day, I was riding to school. On my way, I have to ride up a bridge that goes over a railway. That day, I was in a hurry. When I arrived at the bridge, I stood on my pedals and rode at maximum speed up the bridge. At about one third of it, my right hand went a l???ng way down. When I realized what happened, I had the right handle in my hand. Could barely steer anymore, but somehow managed to get in school without falling.

HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!! Oh my gosh. these are funny. man oh man. well, once, me and my friends had this jump on the road but was crooked so it faced the grass. that way, if we fell, we would land in the grass. my friends went off and did a superman!!! it was crazy!! he did it by mistake. the jump was only like 3 or 4 inches off the ground. he didnt fully extend though. (this was on bikes)

then, once i was riding my bike and i was being stupid. i went a little fast and puposely shoved my foot on the front tire. my bike flipped over, and so did i. i did a frontflip on the ground. when the back end came down due to gravity while i was laying on the ground, one of the rear pegs came close to hitting me. i did this a few times. i was pretty stupid then.

I was once riding home from school with a couple of friends. I rode ahead with someone else (the others didn't really like him) I got the stupid idea of trying to ride my bike with crossed arms (so my right hand has the left handle and my left hand has the right handle) Couldn't do that and fell flat on my face. The others became angry at that other guy and started fighting him, because they thought he made me fall. Could've stop it just before things got out of hand by saying what I was trying to do.

Me and my friends were trying to skate a 12 stair. I have skated 6 stairs before, but 12 was too much for me. So I didn't try it. I watched my friends try to noseslide and boardslide this 12 stair rail.

One of them tried to do it and ended up missing the rail completely with the board and instead slid down the rail with the rail between his legs. By the time he was done, We could tell that his nuts were hurting. He didn't try to do that again if you know what I mean!.
