First Header!

I've been commuting a couple of weeks now to school and today was glorious, I've been getting stronger coming up hills, so I was standing up, heading up a hill on a bike path, watching traffick coming nearby and thinking "haha watch me now B******!" and then wham! i lost my footing and tumbled right over the handlebars

luckily due to some suggestions i read in this forum, i had bought a pair of gloves a couple of days ago, definitely saved some skin

the ironic part is that i go to medical school and today i was coming back from an exam on how to evaluate someone who has just fallen on an outstretched hand! i checked myself out and i'm okay

scraped my grips and messed up a brake though, no big problems with the bike however
