I only had once incident in which i had road rash, and it was on my right arm from a bike crash which i forgot to leave my clip-in foot up on a turn. So i flipped over and landed hard, man that hurt.

Funny thing is it only hurts afterwards. At the moment you're sliding and grinding on the ground, you really don't feel much...

That's true...I once kissed asphalt and sat up and a guy asked if I was okay and I was like "yes, I think so....oh wait....oh *%&@, NO...kill me and put me out of my misery!"
