Yea, it's pretty much my best friend now. It follows me around everywhere I go, and it is there for me even when I don't need it

grip burn from a bs flip gone wrong. I love grip burn so much.

i did a bs flip and my front foot just missed the board, and my other leg just collapsed onto the board and my hand just slid across the top right next to my leg. It was a wee bit painful to say the least. and riding in saltwater didnt add to the comfort to much.

its funny that this just got brought up. I just got back from a 10 day vacation in which I got to ride 8 days in a row (the most I have ever gotten to ride straight). When I got home I walked into my parents house and the first thing my mother said to me was "what the hell happened to your legs, I thought you were going on vacation not going to war" My legs are covered in grip burn and bruises. As much as they hurt I would be lying if I did not say that it is a great feeling.

Grip burn feels good. Reminds me to stop being lazy, haha. I don't know if this is just me, but when I get grip burn the scars never go away. I have stories for all of them. For example: Left elbow= toeside frontside flip Laughing

Here's a more recent addition.

No grip burn for me at the moment...just some road rash from a longboarding crash. It's 5 days old and I still can't rest my arms on my armrests at work. The other arm is about the same.
