i think this is the case, not so much knowing how to fall but be very familiar with pain...i am always surprised to witness some yuppie falling in the street and then holding their ankle and grimacing in pain like a world cup soccer player trying to draw a red card from the referee...as a skater, i know when my **** is REALLY ****ed up, blood is nothing, bruises meh...i have a few scars from stuff that probabley should have been stitched up but i didn't want the hassle (or the bill)...
this whole thread is so jinxed...we should all knock on wood.
