My Worst Longboard Crash Ever

I took one of the hardest falls of my life while longboarding this past summer in Northern California. We were 2 weeks into a 6 week film trip shooting for my KZbin series "Ascent" when this happened. Pushing through and continuing the trip afterwards was definitely a challenge but it turned out to be well worth it. Stoked to be fully healed and back on my board now!
Film: Jake Kuick
Big shoutout to Jake Kuick and Luke Spud for helping me get to the hospital and making sure I was all good. I appreciate you boys!

[@JoshNeuman]

Blessed to have fully recovered from this crash. I do realize that this is one of the inherent risks of downhill skateboarding and should not be taken lightly. Thank you guys for all of the kind words and wishes for a speedy recovery over the past few months. It really means a lot!

This reminds me of the first time i fell while longboard, i went chin first in to the pavement, hurt both of my hands and needed five stitches in my chin, of course it's nothing compared to what happened to you but you reminded me when I left the hospital, my friends were worried sick telling me I had a second mouth under my chin but I didn't care at all I was smiling all the time and just wanted to get back to it as soon as I could, I wish the same to you, have a fast recovery.

[@animal1439]

It looks like there was maybe a little pot hole that he hit prior to the speed wobble. That looked absolutely brutal, but I'm happy to see that you're still on good spirits! Keep killing it!!

[@jak3est]

Saw that too. It made him wobble and shift his weight after then hard wobble

[@LewisBeckman]

I wondered how this might have happened. Well spotted.

[@tas8]

0:42 had a patch of road that had been resurfaced which led to a change of position followed by the wobble.

[@pmurphy12]

Even if it was not a pothole, the tar that is sometimes used to seal up road cracks is very slick, and it can easily cause you to lose balance from the lack of lateral grip.

Damn it hurts me watching this! Broke my leg last year on longboard. Grad you recovered quickly! You rock! Enjoy thousands on km without crashes! :)
