So last week I crashed on my bike and I landed mostly on my left leg. I have cuts on my hip and a scrape on my knee and my ankle and I also tore some skin off of the palm of my hand. The bicycle crash went something like this…
Moment 1: Hey going full speed on my bike down a steep concreet road and making a sharp turn onto a gravel trail sounds like a lot of fun I should try it.
Moment 2: Wow I’m going really fast maybe I should stop.
Moment 3: No I have to keep going but I’ll put on the brakes anyway
Moment 4: Pshh forget the brakes It will be fine!
Moment 5: Wait I do need the brakes!
Moment 6: No I can do this I don’t need any brakes
Moment 7: YES I NEED THE BRAKES I’M GOING TO CRASH!!
Moment 8: I think I am airborne.
Moment 9: *slow mo action shot of me hitting the ground*
Moment 10: Help I have fallen and I can’t get up!
Afterwards my mom had to come to 7-eleven with me to clean up my leg in the employee sink and then get weird looks from the other customers.
Ahem... You left out the part where your mother told you not to ride down that hill in the first place. :-) Thank you for the interesting 7-eleven experience. You kind of horrified some of the customers with the blood running down your leg. Can't believe we didn't get a shot of that.
ReplyDeleteNice use of illustrations. Look forward to reading more. Tell us about Mount Rainier!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you told your story step by step the way it was going through your mind. I'm so glad your fall was not so bad as the pictures show!!!
ReplyDeleteI worked hard getting your brakes to work...you should use it more often. Are you coming down the same hill again?
ReplyDeleteno i already did that I don't need to do it again
