Warning missing skin ahead!
You probably think I fell off my bike. Well no! I fell off my skateboard so there! Oh dear, should 36 year old men really be saying such things.
When you ride one of these most awesome boards:
Freebord (sic)
And one of the center caster breaks like this at 15 miles an hour:
Busted Center
You end up like this (hint here comes the missing skin):
Knee
Elbow, note the bottom lip 
The studious amongst you might notice that I shave around my knee so that I could add and remove the Tegaderm more easily. I’m so smart that I’m learning from previous road rash, yes really smart I tell you. The brown stuff is Betadine. I leave it as an exercise to reader to try and take a photo of their elbow.

I second the ouch. One good thing is that I reckon a skateboard story is so much cooler than a biking accident!!!!!

i remember a 32 year old man saying something very similar
i have no doubt you will still be injuring yourself on bikes and skateboards when you’re a 50 year old man. hope you heel up quickly
