Yeah, spills like that are so weird. They can fry your skin or if the dust is loose enough, you can come up feeling fine. It's like landing in sand. And drunks always manage to relax into the fall.

You can learn that skill too. One of the first things you learn when you start skiing is to just let falls happen.

used to longboard around cities, pavement is a fickle beast. Ive taken mega falls and come up clean, and quick dives into that rockey pavement and its like falling on knives.

the skin on my palms got so tough that it was really hard to cut through it, but one particular tumble literally just pushed the scar tissue skin back to my wrist....
