ZenCueist Re: Skateboard injuries "way back in 1992".
In the 60's, my cousin took one of my metal skates apart, nailed the front and back halves to a piece of wood, and I had a skate board. I painted flowers on it and fairly flew along the sidewalks and down the neighbor's steep driveway (and mostly avoided the ends of nails sticking up through the board).
I would tie a jumprope to my cousin's bike and "ski" at high speeds behind him. Of course, the family photo we had taken that year featured me with a split and puffy lip and two knees skinned to the cartilage. Guess, when I fell, I should have let go of the rope.
Good times.
