skating sounds extreme for the bones.
did you have any big injury doing it?
Lots of minor bangs. As you get better, you learn how to fall softly. The ramp is a curved surface like a slide. It still hurts to land "softly" from 25 feet in the air. But there was more dings and bangs than major injury. The larger injuries were, I broke my hand in 5 places doing something simple and small. And I did a partial dislocation of my left hip landing wrong on a hand plant back flip, which hurt like hell and took a lot to make mostly better. Still a bit wonky 20+ years later but.... The thing that actually had the longest impact is, when I would fall out of a trick because I knew I had messed up, I would land on my right hip "softly" to slide out of it. And my right hip has a decent deal of arthritis from that. That bothers me more than any of the other injuries.
On a skateboard, when you bail, you kick the board away from you and use your knee-pads to break the fall. On in-line skates, the skates are in the way. So sliding on my hip actually was safer than using the knee-pads. Or, at least that is how I felt at the time. [emoji2]
BTW: @ theknife: ramp skating was a hobby for me. But I also got paid for it and did it full time. So, it was also a profession. I did stuff like that for 2 years touring the USA with Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. Weird as hell.
