Just had my first crash..

Well I was riding my fixed gear to Radioshack with a friend to pick up a soldering iron and as I was cruising through the stadium lot (I go to Virginia Tech), I decide to pick up the pace a little bit and took a corner too fast+low. The ground was slippery because it had been raining and I think my pedal hit..Thank the big man upstairs I was wearing gloves... No lasting damage except for this awesome scrape right on my ankle and some fresh asphalt on my shorts+jacket. I think the bike is okay--I bent the bars crooked but I just bent 'em back--i'll wrench on them tomorrow. I think I lost my watch when I slammed into the ground, kinda bummed about that, although it's just as likely to have be somewhere in the dorm. Apparently it was a pretty epic skid/slid.

Just thought i'd share.
