How to put together a media kit?

What should I put in a pocket skateboarding kit?

• I just want a kit that I can put in the pocket of my jeans and head to the skatepark and know that I will have everything that I will probably need in case of injury or a minor skateboard failure. The main problem is that it feels uncomfortable in my pocket (either because it pokes out too much or is too heavy), mainly when doing flip tricks. Could you please tell me what you have in yours that is comfortable to carry or what you would put in yours if you had one? Also what do you carry your kit in (please include pics of kit and/or what you carry it in if possible). Thanks

• Answer:

  You're at a skate park, not out in the woods. I don;t think you need a kit. When it comes to repares on a skateboard, if a monkeywrench and screwdriver won;t fix it, it's probably not fixable. When it comes to injuries, if it really needs treating right away, it's going to need something too big to carry, and probably a trip to the clinic. Aside from band aids and bandages, which aren't worthwhile until you;ve washed the wound anyway, what are you going to carry? A splint? an ice pack? a neck brace? The best thing to carry is probably a big bandana. You can stick it on a bleeder, or use it to tie a sling for a broken arm (google it), or put it over your face for committing minor crimes and/or joining occupy wall street. Of course, all of this assumes you already have a helmet. With a few exceptions, you can't fix head injuries. You just end up retarded, or dead, or paralyzed. Wheelchairs - talk about something that sticks out of your pocket and is too heavy, yeeesh.
