Man, this brings back memories.
Years ago when I was younger I lived in an apartment n Vancouver, used to plunk the rollers out on the balcony and ride out there. It was real nice with the Balcony up top so I had a roof but I was outside so cooler.
Anyway, one time in 1986 I'm riding the rollers one night and I hear this wierd noise but I can't figure ouut what it is, so I keep riding but now I'm starting to look around, sit up , etc. Wierd noise but can't figure it out. Thought maybe something was wrong with the stereo so I take the headphones off but now the noise is louder and closer!!
I look over my shoulder and the damn Goodyear Blimp is hovering up over the back alley and as I looked at it they turned on a light - bastards were watching me! Well, I was so freaked by this Blimp I completely lost it just went sailing off the side of the rollers - damn I'm glad that railing was high!
The day I moved out of that apartment there was still a big black streak on the deck from the heel of my cleats.
1986 - the year Expo came to Vancouver.
I was a lot more careful about riding rollers on the balcony after that, let me tell you.
