The context of the following conversation is Carson broke his fall instinctively after he had been taught how to roll through a fall by a more experienced skateboarder.:
Carson says I had a really bad crash today on my skateboard..
The friend responds Really? You don't look very banged up. All I see is a scratch on your leg..
Carson responds I know how to fall. An experienced skateboarder once taught me how to tuck and roll if I ever got into a bad crash..
The friend responds That's a valuable skill to have..
