nothing makes a fall more humiliating than the invariable "are you ok?" that always follows

No time to tuck when that happens. Like getting yanked to the ground.

Brain damage doesn’t look cool 😂

My friend fell just like that and hit the front of her head on the pavement. She had a helmet, too, but it was too loose. She woke up with a new personality and permanent amnesia. Always wear a helmet, and properly.

I hope you are well. You were my first skating teacher on internet.

I'm 50 years old and learned to skate during the pandemic watching your videos. You are kind of muy role model LOL. If the sensei crashes even he is a pro, i think i can handle some scratches. I DO wear a helmet btw 😊

Happens to the best of us lmaoo. I wear only a helmet because I agree with you that “it’s a failure of the mind and not the equipment” but the equipment is there as a fail safe when there is a failure of the mind.

Oof! That was a nasty crack. I totally understand not bothering to wear gear when you're doing your daily routine, somewhere you've been a thousand times. Few weeks ago I got a wheel caught in a seam in pavement that I've been skating regularly for a year and went right down on my hip.

Helmet & wrist guards are my go to for any speed/ street or park session. It’s all preference but I’ll take looking silly over potential brain/ facial structure damage any day. Not to mention bloody hands

Always wear helmet 🪖

Just wear a helmet, bro. The failure of the mind came when you decided to leave without padding. Listen to the "bullies".

Damn dude. Glad you're ok either way

Crap! I had this once before and the “fear” that I might overlook something has accompanied me latently ever since. However, I haven't managed to get a bleeding head wound on rollerblades yet. Goals!

woah. oh my gosh! careful dude!

You don’t have a dumb face! Great skater, greater curb. God bless you

I am glad you are not seriously injured, live to skate another day! Wish you a quick recovery.

I started wearing a helmet after bouncing my head off the concrete a few times. Hope your injury was minor and heals quickly. Stay low.

Thanks Bill, showing that us even skate gods sometimes crash. Still didn't expect you to fall for that.

Yikes! 😱 Hope you’re recovering okay.

Glad that you can set aside a bruised ego for the greater good of reminding us that even the most skilled and experienced can still make an error (thankfully it wasn't too serious)

What a nightmare ! Hope u well

Gosh I hope you were ok after that one. You and I are contemporary. So I feel your pain. Be blessed.

Hell of a skater! Even the best ones makes mistakes

Ouch hope you're feeling OK. More pride hurt I reckon. The woman who asks you if you're OK said it so blazee 😂

I know but, Why don't you use welmet? Or the others safety equipments?

😮 Awe man.. Damn Bill! So glad you're OK! ✊🏽😏

man, if you would have worn a helmet it would be broken now. they're expensive. luckily your head heals itself. smart🙌

I thought the helmet was useless while going forward, just changed my mind.

Self sense of humour is a sign of wisdom Bill…not all is lost.

I’m glad you’re ok. I saw a skateboarder get permanent brain damage hitting his head on the concrete.

Ooof hope you heal up soon so you can get back at it!

Oh noo! I was expecting a funny fall but this hurt to watch 🤕 hope you're okay

Ooouch! That was sickening! Hope you’re okay, Bill! 🤕

I think Bill was probably too tired at the end of the session and forgot to lift his feet up. By tired, I don’t mean physically tired, but more like his brain is tired or maybe too relaxed. That looked like a hard fall. Hopefully no internal damages or anything. Bill is my top 10 skater of all times. ❤

That's rough buddy 😂😂😂 I've had worse but never stopped

Plot twist: it's a tutorial on how to bounce

“Just look at that stupid face” I know the feeling. lol

Hace 10 días sufrí una caída igual... Típico. Gran video

Hahaha “just look at that dumb face” 😂😂😂 you rock Bill

Thanks for showing the good AND these moments also. Makes me care less about sometimes flailing like a baby giraffe at times.

i sometimes fall down when i'm walking without skates lol. that is why i will always wear a helmet when i do skate.

Holy crap. I’m so glad you’re alive after that, lol 😮‍💨. I know that style of skating is your brand, but still.. talented and practiced athletes, such as yourself, should protect themselves. Surely, skating like this is an apparent risk/choice/preference, but that lack of basic protection in your content will encourage others to ignore things like helmets/pads. Ego will almost always prefer appearance over safety; especially for younger skaters. Set the right example and try a helmet for at least one video! also, this was a failure of the mind, and the LACK of padding lol

Ouch, man! one of your shortest power stops! ;-) Didn´t it require stitches? Hope you are OK.

Usually I watch your videos with the thought: Oh, hope I will be able to repeat this one day! But not that one! Hope that will never happen again Bill.

Ok, if it happens even to Bill, then I must to wear protection without hesitation. :) Thanks for sharing.

ouch, bon retablissement!

Right before accident, a moment of keeping your head up and that was enough. Always watch what you are driving on. May it heal quickly, you are one of my inspirations for rollerblading.

Asleep at the wheel. Take care.

Did this myself last year. First time eating that much shit in 10 years of blading! lolol

Super gnarly slam, Bill! Glad you're okay

Nasty, glad you are ok❤

Respect for this video!❤

hope you good man 😅

That's gnarly, falling like this is something I thought would be unlikely, however you are a better skater than me and still fell like that, maybe helmet is not too bad of an idea

I heard about the curb-stop but I thought it's done 🤔...a little different and at lower speed 🙈

This was gold. Perfect

😣 This felt bad, even watching from my couch… I hope you are well.

oh man. ya got back up though, that's what counts!

Get well soon Bill!

I've done that before. Hurt like hell.

Ouch

I’m sorry this made me giggle I love the voice over it is everything, but be careful man people are crazy and will go out of their way to hit you or get you hurt. Always always stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings. Other people are not. Please stay safe!!

I did that once. My chin took it like a champ, more or less.

I fell like this before. The way i landed was not pretty either. Hit my left chest flat, knees,forearm and elbow. 😅😅

I love how he laughs about himself 😅 i would do the same i would probably crack up laughing at the spot of how big of a dumass i am 😂

omg, just get yourself a helmet. no-one cares how you look. no one is stressing about how cool you are. We care about your skills, and your safety. No amount of skill can protect you from mechanical failure. What would happen if you suddenly broke a frame bolt, and one frame is flopping around on the boot? A single bolt failure makes a whole skate inoperable. No amount of skill can prevent that, and i'd bet you couldn't adapt fast enough to skate on only one foot and come to a safe stop in all conditions. just wear a helmet, it's really not a big deal

I don't know, but I feel this, now I use skates for commuting. I always have my helmet on, and trying to do my best to be safe. But I believe helmet alone is not enough to be safe.

"how the duck do you dead stop with 4 wheels under each of your foot"😂🤣 heard it somewhere recently when dude did something similar, sucks.

the padding of the helmet is there to save the mind from itself :)

I had the exact same type of hit from hitting a curb longboarding. Got the same eye too! It was blacked for 3 months and I had a cyst form on my eyebrow... Not fun 😅

Damn That was a good one

The two feet rolling in parallel... 🙈🙉🙊...

I liked the video but make no mistake, I do not like what happened. Glad you're OK.

That looks like my typical fall.

I also do inline skating, but I fall once a day. The injury is a friend. I'm not scared anymore.

Failure of the mind and not the padding, yes. But failure of the mind can be bailed out by padding :)

It happens to us all.😂

Take care😮🎉

superbe vidéo ! t'en as d'autres comme ça ?🎉😂

I love Bill but the cognitive dissonance required to conclude a head injury prevention device would have no helpful role in a head impact...

Get well my bro

The dude is falling, so we don’t have to

I was longboarding the last curb outside my dorm and hit a piece that extended out with the ramp to the road, like the side of the sidewalk but turned at a right angle an continued for a foot and a half and just stopped, squared off. While it was in the middle of two slopped, smooth surfaces (the sidewalk exit and the parking lot) it was dusk cuz it was the end of my ride and I didn’t see it. I forgot it was that way or never noticed to remember and after that I remembered, always looked out for random objects in the way of transitions. I fell into a parked car, after crossing into an oncoming vehicle I had to avoid falling in front of cuz a lady was walking across the road and watched me skate down the hill. She stopped going forward so I couldn’t go behind her and was I adjusted to go in front of her my back right wheel went onto the sidewalk cuz it hit the ramp and as my back wheel fell onto the road I was using one foot to balance cuz my board power slid one way and I had to torque it with one foot just enough to correct and power slide the other way but then it just kicked out from under me and I couldn’t correct out of it. I ran out a few feet into the ground and slid into the car. The lady would have saved me if she wouldn’t have let herself have the right way for a down hill longboarder to work out what to do rather than waiting for them to pass and not putting yourself in that situation. She just walked by and asked if I was okay quickly while still walking on the other side of the road and I humbly said yes I’m fine and she kept going. Nothing more than a sorry maybe but it didn’t matter to me. I risked my life to not tackle her when she did that to me for lack of understanding and safety. Just don’t step out in front of people and expect them to handle it cuz it’s their problem. No need to do that. If you don’t know how to maintain your own safety and freeze when you put yourself in a situation you’re trying to process and know it’s unsafe. Then don’t make others handle your mistakes. I skate for my own sake and never let myself hurt others if it means I’ll survive cuz they didn’t ask for me to skate. But I have no where else. At least respect that I go out of my way to make it easier for pedestrians and motorists while they don’t like me cuz I am skating and it’s harder to know what to do and avoid issues for me. If we had infrastructure for cyclists then we would be able to safely do skate and bike away from traffic and those walking would understand the rules of the paths.

😂 Know that sh... last year i crashed twice on the exact same spots. .in 2 hours 😅

Un mal día lo tiene cualquiera. La auto crítica solo los grandes. Saludos

Damn bro.

Troubled mind or just too relaxed?

I’ve suffered from several mTBI’s in my day even wearing a helmet. Why the hell is your head bare? Don’t be a fool, there are people who need you coherent, including yourself.

I know the feeling well from skateboarding. It happens

🫣…. Glad you lived.. 🪖🪖🪖

I blame the sunglasses.

B, Are you ok? I gave you a thumbs up only for your ratings. I'm sorry this happened.

Glasses can do nasty cut , i know this very well last summer when i went face first after i roll on a tar snake ...

Gua ulang-ulang biar benjol kepalanya, makanya pake helm dong om, gak baik dilihat anak kecil. 🙈

use a helmet bro

So you don't want us to mention helmets? Ok, THIS time... until next time. 🤭

Not sure how much a helmet would have helped on that one but maybe cut back on those leaded lunchables.

Turns are hard, stopping is harder, but the hardest part of roller blading is telling your parents you're gay.

Ouch!!!

That's why they first invented genital protection and then ...
