I fell today.

I was at my friends house today and we headed to a school near his house. We set up a kicker ramp. I hit it a couple times because it was a relatively easy ramp. We started doing tricks on it. I did them good, until it came to a simple cross up. I crossed to early. Boooooom on my elbo. Scraped it up pretty bad. Even though this accident isnt bad at all, i feel like a total noob. Hahahah. Oh well we alll have those days. Just felt like sharing.

That sucks. What is a cross up? Is it like an X-up or a Tweek?

Cross-up and X-up should be the same thing. I.E. Railroad X-ing.

X-up is when you turn your Handlebar, doing a X with your arms, Cross-up c when you bring your tail at an angle of 90 degree while you handlebar is still straight forward

Man, that's a really odd name for that trick.

We call that a Dilly-Doodle-Double-Donger-Drop.
