What he is saying, Joel is you're not skating without a helmet lol. And I can understand that , but you were only joking haha!
I am learning 'rock to fakie' atm, and because of that fall in Wangaratta 6 weeks ago while coming back fakie, I decided that I must wear shoulder pads if i want to achieve rock to fakie. I landed heavily on my shoulder. Still sore.
I probably should wear a helmet too, because I face planted on the same day when dropping in. First time that happened.
