While I continue to nurse my wounds from actual skating, I have made some progress in the virtual skating world without a helmet or pads.  I reached 90% on Tony Hawk without any outside aid.  At that point (an A), I decided to do some research.  I could only find hints that helped me get about 2% more.  What's funny is that on the rest of the goals, just knowing that there weren't any hints out there helped me to 'go for the gold'.  So, I'm now at 99%, one goal away from completion.  Hopefully, I can do that before my wounds heal.

Update -- Make that 100%!
