Stories: The Bike Wreck
Displaying 1 - 1 of 1 -- Add Story
| While in San Ramon, I had the wonderful opportunity of riding my bike in the MOST HILLY area of the mission (besides S.F.). Wearing my helmet of course, we, Elder Daniel Powell and me, were headed home and decided to cut across California Secondary School campus. There was a huge mound of dirt and being male, I decided to try and jump over it....
Well, everything didn't go quite as planned, I hit the mound alright, but as I leaped into the air, I decided to "spice" it up alittle and do a 'superman' then a 'tabletop' (those are X-Games Mountain Bike moves in case you were wondering and those who don't have the littlest clue of what I am talking about). Well, the 'superman' was perfect and as I was laying in out into the 'tabletop', I realised that I was WAY TOO close to the ground, so I decided to try and right myself and land on my tires, well my front tire as askew as I landed and I was thrown 15 feet from my bike, right over the handlebars. This accident was NOT of course reported to Sister Smartt (for obvious reasons)- but I did do some serious damage to myself.. my bike was OK (thank goodness!!!)
I split my top lip right in half and now is deformed with the remaining scar and I ripped my white shirt and tore up my left forearm quite well. YOU SHOULD SEE THE PICTURES (if I can get some scanned, I'll post them and see what you think).
Biking was great on the mission was great; the only way to proselyte |
