bad crash today
 
so today it was a little wet outside so i decided to practice skidding since imnot so good at it. well, in short, i lost balace and ate ****.

my arm was kinda sore but not too bad. about 30 minutes later i couldnt move it and it was stuck at like a 90 degree angle. turns out i fractured the rotating head in my elbow.

it will be like 4 weeks before i can get on my bike again :(

damn that sucks a lot, you should practice skidding in some grass next time and then slowly move to pavement and other more solid surfaces. heal up soon

wow... i should consider my self either a prodigy( highly unlikely) or just a lucky jack-ass then...

cuz i've never fell ONCE practicing any trick. skid, track stand, back ward circiles.. scuffing...etc.

hhmm poor u, and hope u'll recover soon!

"ill be okay, ill be okay. ookkkkkay... whoo. WHOOO. **** this, dude. call a cab, dude, im going to the hospital"

and a month later you're all cranky cuz it hurts to get your left leg into the toeclips.

fwiw it was wet out and i was wasted.

i just love sentences like this.
really helps me visualizing the scene in my head and set it on replay, again and again until it dies in my head.
:roflmao:

well, there was also a few sentences of me fumbling for a cigarette, swearing, and trying to be a big tough guy and telling myself its just gonna be a nasty bruise and ill be able to walk it off. and then afterwards a few sentences where im trying to get my drunk friend to find one of those van cabs so we can throw the bikes in back. stupid new years.

that one was harder to visualize.

not enough onomonopeia, verbs, and plane silliness.
