tape troubles?

Hey so i am still a newbie on the scene, just picked up my wake skate a couple of weeks ago and have been loving it. After a couple solid rides my friends and I all noticed we had been cut up pretty much all over. When crashing none of us remember hitting the board or grip at all, but that has to be doing it right? Is this something that is pretty common?

I am new to this also and noticed the same thing. I have only had scrapes on my Knuckels from getting up and on my ankle from trying to hard to ollie and coming over the board and scraping my ankle. I think it is common mine have not been to bad. I figure it is better than the road rash I had from learning how to skate board LOL.

it happens, whatever
