what does "take a pile" mean?
The paragraph below is talking about skateboarding and perhaps 'take a pile' has something to do with falling safely??
you can tell they're professionals by how they fail, lol. I was expecting them to take a pile at least once before the boards broke, but when they fell they did so with practice. Some kid on the street takes a pile like what these guys did, and he's sprained or bruised something, or worse. These guys are so good, lol.

Have a hard fall.

It's not a safe fall at all. :) In an exact sense, it means to fall directly on your head. Think of the wrestling move "the piledriver", or the mechanical device "the pile driver", which plants poles directly into the ground.
