Nothing like a big air to splat on the 'crete on your stick to teach you the value of being able to roll out your momentum. Like when you ollie the big staircase. I have virtually no cartilage in my knees anymore and the mass of scar tissue on them is something I am proud of most ppl think it's odd. I can slide across pavement now.... get up brush myself off and get back on and ride away dripping blood. The surgeon still wants to fillet my knee and fill the hole in my bone with bits taken from the upper part of my leg to fix the damage from the dislocation. When I can't ride or walk dude. All of it makes me a better rider/crasher. I very rarely get hurt, even when I took a door in the knee at 45kms it spun me 9 feet into the other lane. I give myself whiplash keeping my noodle off the road (no lid...hot day), got up, pickup my **** and continued to ride to work. Word to skating.

Lookin' forward to a fixie setup this summer, promise I will let you laugh cuz I'll be laughin' too on the side of Queen St.
