Damn man, must have been a shock. So you weren't pressing any buttons?

 

Nah man there was no reason to be i was at top speed of eco just rolling for abit then went to give it abit and yeah you bet it gave me a shock when i get back on the board im going to b very careful

 

Arms make bad wheels.

First commute to work, dropped the wheels into a storm drain and cut up my hand.

Second trip to work, speed wobbled, braked (bad idea, made it worse) and supermanned. Landed with my left arm underneath my stomach and the forearm rolled in ways it shouldn't. . . the bruising is from internal injury from the rotation.

Took both of those to learn that it was more like a motorcycle (that probably shouldn't be ridden flat out everywhere) than a powerwheels, that should just have an on off switch for the throttle.

Somehow still convinced my wife to ride. She's awesome

*for clarity, the picture is my arm that doesn't make a good wheel, not my wife

 

Here's a fun one. Got 7 stitches on my pinky finger. I was wearing half-finger gloves at the time, which got shredded up too


You can't tell because of the blood (this was after it was cleaned up) but when it happened I could see the ligament and bone on my knuckle. It was pure white. I could also see a blood vessel pulsing with flowing blood, very gnarly. The skin got flayed out over the knuckle thanks to some asphalt. The most fun part was that I was quite a ways from my car when it happened, so I had to get back on the board and ride all the way back, holding my hand up in the air then drive to the ER to get the stitches

 

Electric skateboarding is great, this must all be fake.

 

Haven't fallen yet. I go 25 mph everywhere so when I do I'm sure I'll have contribution. 25mph seems casual after awhile and I'm not looking forward to gaining a new respect for the boards speed.

 

Ha, you should try jumping off at 25mph...just to test how to faceplant the road.

 

I had to google what knee graze meant and it was autocorrected to "knee graze infection images", I wish I hadn't done that. What has been seen can not be unseen. Take good care of yourself and get well soon, but ...

 

lol @Skully you photoshopped that color into your arms so you could show your arms off

 

I know what you mean.
