I lost an inch of ass wiping at about 45 mph doing a coffin on my board down a serious hill in my teens. It didn't really hurt until the Bactine was applied. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu did that hurt! Curse you Tony Alva!
LOL Nice Vegas- That shit looks so intense. I've probably gone around...25 to 30 down a hill on my shortboard. God thats scary lol.
@Verity-Yes sir I do. I'm a person who is often in the presence of questionable people. I don't want to fight people, I'm non confrontational. I don't want to get mugged, I like my stuff. I don't want to die, I enjoy living.
Carrying a knife tends to solve all of those problems. In most cases that is. A knife helps to avoid confrontation and protect against aggression.
I would say being armed with something decreases the chances of a fight by about 65%. That number is low due to idiots and drunks.

Go get jumped by a bunch of drunk college kids when you're like 13 and you might think twice about that lol. Or get mugged on the street corner. Maybe you don't see the point where you live but trust me, there's a point lol.
Getting kicked in the face and gut isn't fun.

Anyone strong enough to take you down weapon-less is likely to be able to kill you if you stab them.
well 1, that's usually not an issue anymore since I weigh around 180 and bench 280. Strength isn't an issue here. And 2, the knife is not meant for engagement. The knife is to alter the situation. For the attacker, at first, it was his upper hand naturally due to him being the aggressor and possibly having some form of weapon.
However, when you reveal a deadly weapon, the situation quickly turns lethal. The stakes are quickly raised. Unless drunk,the aggressor will not pursue 99% of the time. Even if the attacker has say...a pole or a bat, having a knife is having the upper hand in most situations. The implications of the knife is all you need.
And 99% of the time, there is 1 of 2 motives. 1 being to take what is not theirs. 2 being to pick a fight. Most would agree, neither of those situations is worth risking their life. So, as I said, in most cases, once there is risk of death, most will disengage.
And no, if I actually stab someone, I promise you it won't matter how strong they are. That strength will quickly drain away as pain replaces it. But, it should never have to come to that. People are fairly predictable in these instances. I know, I've been in them.
I've seen a group of like 15 people pursue someone into an alley. That person walked away unscathed as he, yup you guessed it, whipped out a knife. Nobody wanted anything to do with that.

@Don As I said, I too am non confrontational by nature. However I've been in enough situations to know what works, when it works and what does not work.
Lol good luck with that Apples.

no one attacks asians. i walk alone at night in downtown atlanta and i dont give a fck.
They (stereotypically) prolly think you're some sort of martial arts expert...
Haha, I can see it now, some guy attacks a 13 year old asian girl and she then turns around and goes Jackie Chan on their ass.
Stereotypes are fun!
Ever watched The Onion Movie? That shit is so lame it's funny. Shitty recorded clip from the movie about racial stereotypes (in a comedic way)(Some may find it offensive, dunno the racial diversity of these forums. Sorry in advance if it does offend someone.):

I'd get a gun straight away if I felt like I needed to pack something.
Maybe one day if I feel I need it lol.

No, seriously though, I don't care for any of those things. Don't exactly get the point of them.

Just food for thought.

That's because they think you're 15. Everytime I see an Asian girl, I think she's way younger than she really is.
