You have a concussion anon. That you're even slightly unsure of what happened and that your vision went funny, if just for a moment, is a classic sign.
I happen to be an expert on this subject, I've had 4 concussions already and one was so bad I was rushed straight to the hospital :DDD

I think about skating every day. A few weeks ago I walked by some kids skating and I couldn't resit being that one cringe "I used to skate too" kook and asked them to try a board. Landed some tricks too, which baited me into thinking I can skate again, but my knee hurt for a week straight after. Didn't even jump any stairs.

You can imagine that if I fully rotate my 180 and stomp it into a powerslide, but was going fast at the same time, the forward momentum, combined with the sideways momentum form powersliding, and my legs being planted to the board, since I'm fucking sliding and can't bail out, would result in my knee getting twisted in a way it shouldn't twist. If I was a pivot faggot this wouldn't have happened. I would have powerslid forward and fallen on my ass.

i landed straight legged and slipped out. i thought id catch myself with a hip landing but im a noob still and was unprepared to skate on smooth concrete with 101d wheels. the asphalt and rougher concrete i usually skate on let me feel if the board is going in a direction sooner than just doing it if that makes sense. im only 155.

If you haven't already, go to a fucking dr, man. If you heard a pop it could also be ligaments/tendons tearing, not just a break. You do not want to find out later that you can't walk properly anymore, while also knowing it could have been prevented if you had just gotten it checked out.

Damn, that sounds brutal. I appreciate the breakdown. I recently sprained my foot to the point I couldn't walk for a couple days. I had it looked at and luckily didn't have any serious issues. Similar to you I was too eager to skate. I didn't warm up like usual and tweaked my foot landing primo on a kickflip over a kicker to kicker. I'm still recovering and I find myself thinking about injury a lot more. I'm desperate to get back on my board, but stories like yours and others have me thinking about how better to approach it to reduce my risk of injury.
>>174779
How bad was the concussion? I've never hit the back of my head skating. I did tear up my lip faceplanting when I had braces as a teenager though. It's crazy how quickly the ground can come at you if you aren't prepared for it.

I'm glad your shit wasn't serious bro. At least you tried more of a real trick than me. I got my life ruined on a eyes closed warmup trick. To make it worse it was the worst pain I've felt. That shit hurt insanely bad and I swear I'm no bitch. I'm staying there holding my knee rolling on the ground in pain and literally nobody in the entire park gave a shit. Just one kid came to leave me my board and that was it. After probably a whole minute of squirming like worm I got up and some faggot had the audacity to tell me to just rub on it. I'm in shock still and almost fainted. Hobbled over to a bench and sat there for like 10 minutes. It hurt a lot but it kind of lessened and I thought it wasn't that bad. I couldn't accept it was literally over. Fully delusional still, probably have a high tolerance to pain idk. I hobble over to my car and drove to the store to get groceries before going home. I didn't my shopping in the store leaning on the card and riding it basically. My knee got super fucking warm so that was covering the pain a bit and I thought I was maybe ok. I don't wear skinny pants and at the register I notice that my left knee is entirely filling my pant. I go home and take them off, my knee is swollen like a bitch. I sit down for a bit thinking I'll decide if I need a doctor in the morning before it started hurting like a literal bitch again and I noticed my range of motion is literally fucked. I drove myself to the ER and a nurse saw me get out of my car asking me what happened. Dude straight up said nah bro I can tell it's bad, you shouldn't be walking, and put me on a stroller straight away. Worst day of my life probably.

Want me to make it worse? I'm a yuropoor and we have "free healthcare". In the ER they just drained all the blood from my knee with a bigass needle, which was a nightmare mind you, then gave me some pain killers, anti inflammatory pills, and crutches (my ROM was near zero). Next day I call the free healthcare shit to get an appointment set up. Woman on the phone probably left bad or I don't know because I sounded like I'm done with life. She set me up at the most expensive clinic in town (allegedly the best). I go there in a few days to get checked. Dude goes yeah it's fucked, you need an MRI. I go at a third party clinic for an MRI, which takes ages of you staying still in a coffin basically. I go to the clinic with the scans CD for a second checkup. Doctor acting sus as hell. Talking about how he can't open the file, how the image is too blurry, how this place where I got my MRI scan was trash, and he can't diagnose me. Then he did some retarded tests on my knee. Retard literally started twisting it. Hurt like a bitch. I'm sitting there all demoralized and trusting this faggot, but then I get a grip and tell this bitch to stop. Starts talking about how it's fucked, about knee replacement surgery, transplants from cadavers, new treatment, first in the country, only their clinic does it, etc. I call the health insurance org again demanding another doctor at a different place. Had to argue on the phone for like an hour and sweet talk this bitch until she gave in. I go to the other place. New doctor opens the MRI scan file with no issues, everything is perfectly visible. I tell him what the other guy did, what he said, and the retardedass tests he did on my knee. This fucking faggot literally lied about the diagnose, and the MRI, and tried to tear my knee up even more by twisting it, and also lied about the treatment. He basically wanted to coerce me into doing some experimental shit so he can get a shit ton of money and also use me as a test subject.

Allegedly American healthcare is the best in the world, albeit very expensive. Don't know for sure, but in general the people that are attracted to the doctor's profession are typically self absorbed psychos. Hurr durr I just wanna save lives and help people. Like no bitch all you want is money and will even go as far as to cutting penises of skaters that go to slap, just to make a shekel. Don't even get me started on dentists. Have you guys seen how many people, especially Americans, walk around with fucked up jaws because they were coerced into wearing braces as kids, when they literally had no need to? People with awkward as shit mouth movements when they speak. Drooling all over the place, being unaware of their saliva strings. I'm glad I never fell for the braces scam. It's literally only for people with fucked up teeth or jaws.

I'm not trying to get a waterlogged board from rain or snow. I will be skating in parking garages though. Maybe an indoor park if there are any that aren't totally packed.

I typically only see kids on scooters, so they get a pass for being oblivious cause they're kids. In general I think "serious" scootering looks really silly. It's also magnitudes easier to get good at than skating, bmx, or fruit booting.
Skatepark denizens go other Skaters >> BMXers >>> Fruitbooters >>>>>>> Scooters
That said, I typically only go to parks in the morning or early afternoon on weekdays, so I only ever have to deal with 2 or 3 people.

Terrible advice. Young people should be exploring life to it's maximum while they can. As you age your free time dwindles and responsibilities pile up. When they finally are in the grind they'll have a hobby to fall back on and enjoy.
>find hobby that makes money
Dumb. For monetary independence young people should focus on any consistent pay check and learn how to budget and invest now, so in 10 years they can reap the rewards of what the rest of us didn't do. There is no reason an 15 yr old can't flip burgers for 10 years and be a millionaire by 25.

don't get greedy with tricks
progress iteratively don't skip steps

most skaters who know how to fall optimally wont be able to tell you how, because they started so young that it's purely innate muscle memory.
since you started past your teens i would recommend practicing whatever they teach in parkour, so id watch a bunch of parkour videos or go to a beginner parkour meetup and emulate what they do
if you can stomach it, go to the hallofmeat instagram and learn from mistakes people make there. it's an underrated resource because people make a LOT of the same mistakes. one example is opening your shoulders forward when doing a 360 flip, and when they land towards the front of the board they zoosh out and whack their head. if they never opened their shoulders they would have fallen on their arm instead. sweep your spot clean of any pebbles if you're gonna do drops.
>what would you recommend to protect the ankle?
learn how to kick your board away from you so you don't land back on it. that's how most ankle injuries happen, when your foot expects to land on a flat surface but gets nudged by your board being in the way.

labelling boards as reddit or 4chan is silly, but the Powell flight deck is all I ever see on r/newskaters. Yes, lurking there is rage baiting myself. It can be funny sometimes. It's usually overweight dudes thinking they need a special board so they go for the flight decks. So Creature 4chan anon isn't entirely wrong.

No it really isn't if you think about it. Reminder to all cucks in here that unironically the most important thing about skating has always been being cool and saying fuck you. It's been that way since day one whether you like it or not. I sure as fuck am not skating some gay corny shit like a powell deck with their gay corny youtuber crew. Gatekeeping has always been a part of skate culture as well. Basically anything I don't like and think is gay and corny equates to reddit, and if you have an opinion that can be described as reddit, I'm gatekeeping you. Creature on the other hand looks cool as hell. They're OG. They skate hard. Very easy for me to give them the 4chan (the place all reddit and slap fucks come to to try and fit in and be cool) stamp of approval. Pussyass with your powell deck fuck outta here. Anyone that disagrees clearly doesn't skate or has been casually doing it for a few years at most.

Stop being niggers and purchase a deck the white man way... Go to the shop and ask to see up to around seven boards you could see yourself wanting, now put them on the carpet and stand on them and pretend like your doing moves, pick the one that feels best for you. The only way to find what shape and concave you prefer is to stand on the deck and compare. Stop buying decks like a uninformed nigger

They've been doing carbon fiber plys forever. I had a Flip board that had them and it snapped just as quickly as every other deck I've had. Anecdotal I know. Maybe they've gotten better, but I don't think its worth spending more money when wood will do you just fine. You can buy whatever you want though.
>That's like saying urethane wheels are a gimmick after steel and clay
We don't have carbon fiber decks everywhere because it doesn't respond the same as wood. If everyone switched over to it then you know its legit. Companies have been dicking around with carbon fiber plys for decades and none of it has had wide spread adoption.

I think one thing with older skaters when they are getting into it or just starting is now that we have money, we want to spend like we couldn't when we were kids. I was close to falling for the flight gimmick myself at one point.
Soon you'll learn it's better to spend that money trying different brands, shapes, sizes throughout time instead of having one indestructible board that you're stuck with and ends up sitting in your closet because you want to try something new.
Even if you're a big fat fucker, a regular ass wood board can handle a lot. Look at skate videos and look at how grown men are throwing themselves off big gaps or stairs and landing back on their boards just fine. Surely a wooden board can handle you trying to roll down your driveway.
