not long after i got my fixed gear me and a few friends went out riding on the bike path in town. We stopped and bought some beers. I wasn't very good at skidding yet and my friend kept trying to teach me. we stopped and drank a decent amount(i was pretty drunk when we got back on the bikes).

I followed andy's advice and tried skidding in the grass next to the path. I'd got it down pretty well, so i figured i'd try it while i was drunk. The ground i tried on wasn't very sturdy, everything hit the grass except my face, which i skinned pretty bad. The whole left side of my face was either bruised/bleeding.

Being the genius I am, i kept drinking all night. I was awoken the next day by my boss calling for the 3rd time asking where i was. Thankfully when i walked in obviously hungover and with scabs all over my face he just said "rough night" and didn't do anything.
