Driveway of Death!

by Lars Hindsley on Tue 17 Jul 2007 12:23 AM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

LOL, I call this driveway the driveway of death because a friend busted her ass and was laid up for two days in bed because of falling at the gutter. In retaliation to this nasty gutter I've begun practicing for barrel jumping, by jumping it. Funny thing is I did in fact fall myself on my very first jump in this photo session. I caught some of the sand in the gutter and it brought me right down. I tried to twist and spin around to fall my knee pads but only managed to land on my side. I bruised my side up bad but got up and skated my daily skate anyway. I returned later and got this photo out of spite to this driveway of death! LOL

For any of you that think any good skater doesn't fall, you are kidding yourself. I have friends that are amazing skaters and still have some nasty cuts and bruises. If you don't fall, you are not trying to do something. It just comes with the territory. Meanwhile I am getting better...

Yo Z! I'm also still practicing my reverse slaloming! You'll see! Sorry I missed you this last week at the Bandshell. :(

WHY MOSTLY PHOTOS OF LARS?
The answer is simple. It's to protect my friends privacy. I'm not a narcessist. LOL
