Bikes: Ritchey P-series prototype, Diamondback, Nishiki Triathelon Pro.

My last chain off was when I was riding home side street. A kid had arranged 4, 1 foot ramps in a row, 4 feet apart.
I came bombing down the street, gave the kid a look, he smiled so I started jumping them ( forgetting I was in high gear, my chaintensioner works only 3 lowest cog) and jammed it beside the chainring after the third ramp.

Had to do a major de-tangle, talked to the kid about what NOT to do with a jump bike.

I'm 38, kid was 10 maybe, we both like little ramps tho- (bet the kid was bustin' moves all day no probs.)

Well I did, after cleaning all the chain grease off my grips, build a 2 footer @ home and jumped it a few time IN LOW GEAR!

It's good to be humbed once in a while, being too ****y on a bike can be dangerous.

I realize I am a heathen, mtb, have a rear Der,....I do only run a mono-ring front?...forgive my trespass
