Injuries? - vollrath - 12-20-2011
Just out of curiosity... is there any one here who's good at stunting but who has not incurred any type of major injury along the way?

Depends whats your definition of "good" is
Injuries? - vollrath - 12-20-2011
"Good" will from here on out be defined as having the capacity to do spreader circles in a controlled fashion

But it doesnt matter how good or bad you are when it relates to injuries. Tony Hawk was the world champion skateboarder of his time - He only broke an elbow during his career. Mike V - also a skateboarding legend, yet he has broken basically every bone in his body.
Essentially its like comparing a block of cheese to the planet jupiter.

i think this will all depend on the person's body and bones. there's people like me who fall and somehow always break something or end up pretty hurt, but another person can fall just as hard and get up and be fine.

As for the injuries, i'm kind of looking at it as more of a probability thing. If we take hawk and vallely as you pointed out, then we could say that you can be pro and have a 50/50 of having to fucking wreck yourself in the process. So even though those are two completely different scenarios, it can still be useful to look at in terms of the odds. Although i can imagine tony hawk would be the exception and not the rule in terms of skateboarding injuries.
