So yesterday i was riding my friends half pipe that he has in his back yard and we decided to play a game of B.I.K.E. after like 5 or so rounds he set a hop in. I have never done it before and said what the hell i will try it. i went for it and cased. next thing i know i am at the bottom of the ramp and i have tons of blood in my mouth. My teeth went into the inside of my lip. it was a 3 inch slice across my lip. My friends dad brought me to the emergency room and i got 4 stitches and since i slid on my face i have like road burns. Yeah i know i am a noob and i am stupid. So does anyone have any tips for hop ins? What was your first injury from riding?

just do a little 2 wheel hop and dip your front wheel and also come at it at an angle not strait

It was the trails, They were shoutin'.

Will never understand how you can case on a hop in, I mean obviously it is possible but damn that sucks

Never got any face injuries but I fractured my heel, and have rebroke my wrist several times now, just cast that bad boy and go with it haha but the heel was the most painful shit ever

this wasn't my first injury but it is my worst to date i was on the platform by the quarter pipe at my local skate park and it gets really jam packed some weekends so i'm sitting there waiting for the scooter kids to move and for my turn to drop in ive been real short on funds so i haven't been able to buy a helmet lol spoiler alert my turn to go in some one yells i turn my head like what while dropping in wheel turns and bam wake up on the other side of the park was carried there by some skateboarders took me half an hour to figure out how i dropped where i was and how i got there lol

damn that sucks. My friends half pipe is in his yard so his parents are always watching. They always make us wear a helmet which is a good thing or i prob. would wear it some times

I think my first injury was when I was first learning to fakie out of 180s, I fell and smacked my face on the edge of curb and I broke the top part of my nose into three pieces I think, when I went to the hospital they had to stick metal rods up my nose to straighten everything out, that was the weirdest shit ever haha
