Yeah - I don't need to expose myself to risk, just light contact. That makes a ton of sense and is a ton safer than the approach I thought would work best for getting over these fears.

Just so I can walk away from all this and move forward, you feel like the tailbone was more anxiety than anything else and that I should just step away from skateboarding before anything more serious might happen? That's the plan, but I just want to make sure my interpretation of both what happened and your advice moving forward is correct.
