Then i look over at them drop down a gear, NAIL-IT, and they freak(i dont know why) when i hit about 25mph on the side walk while they are on the street, and when i hit almost the end of the sidewalk i SLAM my rear brake on, locking the rear wheel creating the loudist skiding noise and i like back only to see them about 60feet behind me. then after i slowed down they cought up they try to skid, but the diden't and then i laughed, u-turn skid and went to walmart to buy some new brake pads i'll put on tommorow.

I cooked my rear brakes BIG time today, where down more then half the pad.

I know its a stupid story, but i was having fun.
