Board before self?
I was practising my higher speed slides today and underturned doing a colemen.
Longstory short, it was either i hit the curb on my board going 20-30kms or jump off the board.
I took option B, kicked omy board backwards and began free running trying to lose speed, before i knew it my hit it the kerb and my brother thought i broke a rib.
Grazes on my elbow through my jumper, littles cuts on my knee and a large grazes through my pants on my upper thigh, my hip will bruise up good tomorrow :)
Anyhow, i have a video and ill take some photos of my awesome battle scars.
PS, i was wearing a helmet and gloves. Should have chucked my trackies on too.
My question is have you every had to make a desision to kill your board or hurt yourself? I wanna see pictures of a board destroyed by hitting a kerb.

Kill the board.
The two that i have are AMAZINGLY strong. My new one has fallen down cliffs and run into trees at the bottom of a big hill.
Mine hold up well, plus i prefer my board suffering than me.

my mate kicked his board back when he came off in front of this little coping, and he smashed his forearm, like his bone was poking up, almost through his skin...

Compared to medical bills for more gnarly injuries, cost of a new board is chickenfeed....
Invest in a noseguard, dude.

medical bills = $0
broken boards because of crashing = $0

I agree with this statement, if its enough to wreck my board then its enough to wreck you. I guess this time i was extremely lucky to get out with afew cuts, grazes and bruises but it could have been a broken rib if it went worse.. But im sure if i hit the kerb my knees would have slid along the walkway and came out worse then what i have now.if there was a situation in which my board could actually get f***ed up, i definitely would not want to put my body on the line
