i never got bad road rash.... mostly bruising... the time in front of the amublance i had some gravel in the palms of my hands (i wasn't riding with gloves cuz of tanlines )

the time i slide in the sand making a corner.. i had a HUGE bruise on my upper leg/hip.. but no road rash (i've never torn any of my clothes in any of my crashes! just squished my banana ) that time i had on amfib gloves.. so my palms were sore/bruised.. but the palms of amfibs are thick! so no gravel!

i can't even remember if i had "road rash" the time i endo-d on my mtb! (i've fallen over a LOT on that too! but the endo was the WORST! scared the bejeezus out of me!)
