Yeah, I feel better biking now.
I haven't skated seriously for probably 8 years and I still have permanently dented bones and messed up knees.
There was one summer when I ground (grinded?) my shin across a railing on the dismount and every time I went out after that, my lower leg would swell by like a third after half an hour or so. It was grotesque.
