Wheelie dangerous!

On the way home from work today I had another accident

I couldn't fuckin believe it.

On my bmx. turning right at a T-intersection, I managed to avoid getting hit by cars this time

Only I was in a hurry so was really pulling on the bars to get maximum weight on the pedals.

Nearly at terminal speed I must've pulled just that little bit too much on the bars and pedaled at the wrong time.. Front wheel is off the ground, weight is distributed very unevenly, so the wheel shoots out from under me and I end up flying off the side of it in busy traffic..

Rolled a few times, skinned my elbow, smashed my wrist, hip and knee and ended up on my back.

I think I'm going to give up 2 wheels completely, fuck it, give up on wheels full stop.

I'll drive a tank to work instead..

Geez Gatch...let you out on your own and you smack yourself up to the point where you're no use to the BK's

Do we have to put a lead on you and a wee bell around your neck ?

Seriously tho, nasty crash. By smashed up wrist do you mean broken bones? SOUnds like the skin damage is fairly gross.

At least you landed on your back, just where BK's like their prey

I do like the idea of driving a tank, over the pricks who beat up my son yesterday..If you get one, could I borrow it just for one day?

It just means you may actually be able to over power me with only one working hand..

Don't think it's broken, just swollen and purple..

As for the leash.. You'd have to get it on me first.
