crash and burn!

Hey just thought I would share my story of the day. My school has two campuses, separated by about well, almost half a mile, not quite that far, and I have to travel that distance to get to some classes. Well, today there was a girl riding her bike at the same time, so I asked her for a "tow" and I held her backpack and along we went very smoothly down the sidewalk. Well, a bit later we have to make a left turn and go down another street and the sidewalk there is real narrow, barely enough room for two way pedestrian traffic, so she told me my ride was over. I was enjoying the ride so I convinced her to keep pulling me to the next driveway (about a block), except now we were in the street, not on the sidewalk. She was really nervous about it, but I was having a blast cuz we were flying. But then we got to the driveway and there was a lip and I hit that with my rollerblade front wheels and the rest is history. I was sprawled out on the driveway surrounded by people on their way to and from class. AWESOME!

Godspeed...

LOL That's way too funny.

You should be more careful, girls and bikes are dangerous

Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know that, so it goes on flying anyways--Mary Kay Ash

That's a drastic pickup... nevermind

That reminds me of when Curtis flopped out of his chair in Chicago. However, his story did not include the cute girl.

Nope, just a smashed elbow and sore shoulder...but it was worth it. I think I value the adrenaline rush more than anything. I've always liked crashing...

Godspeed...

LOL Joey. You adrenaline junkies will always find a way.

Reminds me of a few months back in Phillie with another mom, myself and our kids along with two other friends. I wish the pic had turned out...my son is rolling along pretty fast, another grabs hold hitching a free ride. He continues. As another tags on behind her and then the other the "train" began to slow down and eventually came to a stop but you should have seen the smiles all around us.
