Never, I only fell onto my hands 3 times while learning to ride. I just ran out of most UPDs.

No face plants. I did fall on my hands so I quickly started wearing gloves but that's only because I was practicing on blacktop and textured concrete.

One of my friends was trying to teach his friend to learn. He told him "Lean foward and pedal" I know he must have got at least half of it right, because he broke his nose.

I generally fell backwards while learning to ride...at first, anyway. landed on my butt once or twice, that kinda hurt. then later, I leaned forward more, and landed on my feet in front when UPDing.

I never really fell to anything but my feet until I started Muniing and going to the local skate park.

hows this for irony.....
yesterday when riding home from school. i was cutting through the dentists proerty(the dentist is on a corner) and as i was going through the grass i hit a pothole. the entry was fine but as my tire hit the other side, my 40 lb. backpack (filled with big books, tons of looseleaf, and my daily binder(10 lbs by itself)) flew up as i fell forward and pounded my face into the grass. and since we've had a drought, the ground is really hard. and my face print is still there. moral: pothole+face+50 lb backpack=new pothole. but im okay.
