Heh, that happened to me 10 years ago. Broke my left wrist and sprained my right. Rather than media, it was basically everyone at my university who made it look so easy.

Frustratingly, I used to be not half bad at skateboarding. I managed to land a 360 flip just a few months ago while being really rather drunk[0].

I wasn't even trying anything complicated yesterday; just a simple shuv-it on flat ground at a skatepark. Fell sideways onto my arm and felt a heart-sinking crack.

I was really into it in my teens, tore my ankle up bad at 17 where I couldn't do any flips. Waited a year and got back into, tore the ankle again within a year. Still every time I try a flip my ankle hurts bad. Kind of sucks, it was the only "sport" I ever enjoyed :/
