Guys, you were right.
Today, I went to the new skatepark for the first time ever. Actually have never been to a skatepark in my life. I was able to do some beginner jumps and basically just rolled around.
Then, I thought, I'll try what it feels like if I roll up a ramp. And on the way up, I decide to better get off the board. I did not even fall, but stopped my weight so stupidly with the right foot that my ankle now is swollen and blue.
Damn.
- It's good to do some stretching exercises beforehand too. I never used to think about stuff like that but as we get older our bodies aren't used to the moves.PhanLo
- Yes, warning up and stretching sounds like something I should do in the future.SimonFFM
- “Beginner jumps” ?!nb
- I told ya man! I broke all three bones in my left arm by slipping on a damn heelflip hahahnb
- Beginner jumps = low ollie and jumping down a curbSimonFFM
- learn how to fall first.shapesalad
- I didn’t even fall... bizarre.SimonFFM
- At least it aint your wrist. Breakfalls are a useful life skill. Take some judo classes, grasshopper********
- haha********
- Man...I fell in August and still have pain in my arm. I went a couple of times but in the last two weeks it was just impossible. Weather is getting worse, so...oey_oey
- ...lets see when it's possible again.oey_oey
- Larger transitions... i.e.- pools/bowls and vert ramps are actually safer than most technical skateparks... those short falls are what get you.jonny_quest_lives
- Currently in physical therapy for a SLAP tear in my shoulder from a quick fall at a skatepark. Shoulders are very complex as are hands.jonny_quest_lives
- Ouch. I have bruises just from reading what happened.********
- Thanks for your comments, guys! Really fun to read. I will be fine again in a couple of days, I hope.SimonFFM
- as much as I hate to say it.. skateboarding is kids.. they bounce better. I would love to skateboard again .. but I also love my knees functioning and my wristsautoflavour
- I remember in my mid 20's when I was still skating a friend of my fell down some stairs and broke both his wrists.. should have fallen better I know..autoflavour
- working graphic design with 2 busted wrists was not prettyautoflavour
- I was wearing wrist protection. And I have to admit, I didn't think I could hurt my ankle just from jumping off the board. Lesson learned.SimonFFM
- Rest. Heal. Get back out there. We have old-man bodies but at least we still try. No shame in continuing to have funmisterhow
- So true. I felt so alive reviving my inner child rolling around.SimonFFM

Jason Lee's Nine Club will premiere March 11th

The whole vid is great but I love how Andy deals with this guy having a go at him
- He is such a fucking dork, and I say that with love because if this kid doesn't make you happy, you probably had a shitty childhood.garbage
- This guy is my favorite skater in a way that feels so different (and better) than all the guys I looked up to as a kid.nocomply
- @nocomply when he petted a fire hydrant in the forest, I knew there was going to be a Natas spin at some pointgarbage
- My favourite skater of all time. He's absolutely at one with his board and has an incredible repertoire and constantly inventing.microkorg
- Amazing positive role model for kids. Plus he's always wearing his helmet even when farting about doing wee street tricks.microkorg

Re: the upcoming Jason Lee episode
It will be a make or break for the Nine Club for me. Will Jason Lee be able to talk about leaving Scientology?
Crob is fucking tight with Berra, and I could see him steering the conversation away from anything close to that topic. But we could learn all about the fuck cult mania in the Berrics and with Braille.
If Crob shows up prepared and not just interrupting with "right right right", it will confirm very real suspicions that I've had for a few years now that he's actually gone clear.
