srry bout the bad quality pic, camera was on wrong setting. but there
was this nice 12-14 inch drop and it was going off concrete into dirt
and i messed up it looks worse today, and anti-septic BURNS...
probally the first really good drop ive done... dosent help i was on a
LX... but i should be gettin a kh 20 this summer. Well, i've learned my
lesson and i'm glad nothin worse happened at least.


P.S. the dark spot is where dead skin is hanging.

I got one of those on my chin last weekend of the semester... needed 11
stitches. Don't ask me how it happened, for the life of me I still
can't figure out how I slipped off a 4 inch cement parking block and
somehow landed on my chin so fast.

I just put it into photoshop and adjusted the levels, its not bad atall,
just a little graze. you dont need elbow pads, be a man take the pain.
I have done way worse than that, you just have to get up brush yourself
off and carry on.

yeah.... You must have really beefed it for such a big scrape.

You always regret not having a pad on the particular area you get hurt.

A 14" drop isn't very high

If you think of it like that you are less likely to fall off, otherwise
you'll think of yourself as a goof for stuffing up something so simple
