Concrete is hard. I am used to skating wood, Birch to be exact over at Garden Sk8 but down in North Carolina, there are quite a few concrete parks. One of them is Marsh Creek public park. The bowl is freakin' HUGE! Gotta be 12 or 13 feet of hard ass concrete. N.C. skaters are hardcore! Didn't see any rocking the bowl, didn't see many at all but you can tell it's been shredded by looking at it. Concrete also reacts different than wood, or you do to it anyway. Just as I got the hang of it I got cocky and attempted a rock and roll and the result was a massively painful bruised wrist. What you see above is not an impact point, I landed on my palms, but a bruise from what I guess was my bones chattering or the reverberation or something bad! For a good 15 minutes I was convinced it was broken but once my arm stopped shaking I knew I was just banged up. Only got a little video because it was just me and my phone... oh yeah and I suck and fell after 20 minutes of skating.
Gloves and wrist guards this summer at the local concrete parks brothers and sisters! I am too old too have bones rattling.
UPDATE:
It appears to be getting worse although it hurts less. Go figure.
