Be safe guys and girls, don&#8217;t skitch, and remember, cars are bigger than you and the road is harder than your head. <strong>Always<\/strong> wear a helmet when you are on any kind of wheels, be it a board, scooter or skates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys, I saw a couple of news article on News.com.au yesterday about a recent skitching incident involving a teenager down in Sydney that has resulted in him suffering a serious head injury.
