Wow, that is really hard luck. I am going to be trying some more advanced skills on my landboard, and I'll keep it in mind to avoid the stairs.

Hope you heal quickly.

Look at the bright side.......:bouncy:.........You now have an interesting story to tell.

Speaking of "ow", when you're testing your new mountain board (wasn't flying kites, just doing some downhill) don't clip a bush and then land on your ribs. The way that I did this morning.
