Yeah! Let's hear some intensecore road rash stories!

Got this one yesterday while longboarding, discovered pavement isn't as accomodating as I had hoped. Also, flip flops are such a bad idea when you longboard...

Haha and this picture I had road rash underneath this new injury, so there was thick skin right at the very bottom, which was all white and with the old skin haha.

yeeeah, so sweet but so disgusting and painful. I fell off my longboard while going down a hill by my house. trucks weren't tight enough so I started to wobble and I could feel it coming... then baaaam I fell and rolled a bit. when I looked up a car was sitting in front of me, luckily it had stopped and didn't run me over. I scraped up both hands an elbow and a knee. the elbow was the worst, it was bleeding all over for awhile. the hands are always annoying because you feel it for a few days even if it's only slightly cut.

you should also try and clean those cuts before they start to heal, looks like some dirt is in there.
hey I just got 1000 posts a few posts ago..

i had the exact some type of thing happpen to me like that second pic. its such a bitch. just clean it and dont put a gauze on it!! let it dry up and scab over it heals much faster. it sucks when your doing something and then the scab gets scratched and your bleeding a lot.

this is a friction burn, but at a summer camp they have a like 9 story slide u do down on in a blanket, and it has a bump every like 30 feet, so i got a ton of speed and got air each bump(which really hurts wen u land on ur tailbone)so on the last bump i had the most speed, and wen i landed my arms dropped on the side of my lane(there are 6),and i just slid on my wrists for like 6 feet. it was so deep it was bleeding like a 6 inch, 2 inch wide cut. hurt like hell, too

Mine went down my shoulder and back, huge one on my leg and and even bigger one on my hip going down my ass. Haven't been longboarding since.

Ahaha I don't know how well you guys can see this, but since I was in flip flops, when I fell my toenails got ground down to like nothing... But my toes are for the most part ok!

Oh yeah the old dirt is in the skin on the very bottom... And that skin is fucking... Hard and plasticy... I tried to cut it off with scissors but I'm such a pussy when it comes to self-mutilation haha.

ohh dude that sucks hahaha prepare to stick to your sheets at night!

I grazed up my hip and arm skating downhill a few months ago, the hip was the worst, it wouldn't stop leaking liquid for about 2 weeks.. damn annoying eh during the day it would form a scab that was attached to my boxers and during the night it would attatch to my sheets, and that was with a second skin patch ontop of it. left a pretty gnarly scar though

i remember when i was about 10 and rollerblading down my road. they took out part of the road maybe like an 8 foot section to put a pipe underneath it. i tried to clear it and do a 360 and i caught right at the edge and fell i was so fucked up. huge fat lip, my hands were raw, elbows the same it wasnt too pretty. i dont do many sports on concrete and stuff for the reason it hurts way more when you fall haha.
