Sh<u></u>it.
I spent all yesterday thinking, "Yeah, I'll leave the DH to Sunday. Cooler."
Got up, went out hit the tracks. First run, rode down the black route just reacting to stuff, riding with no style whatsoever. No finesse and no speed. Stopped at the large berm to pull myself together, rode over the Northshore spur and slid off a causeway. Arse over tits. Aggravated an old hand injury, old knee injury and managed to scrape my leg <i>just</i> where my leg armour ends. Fagtastic.
Did half a run more and packed it in. I hate days like this. Nothing worse than knowing you're riding like a twa<u></u>t.

Well, I got bored whilst falling 3500ft from the sky.
Having spent a day and a half 'training' to do so, and paying about œ125 for it. It was a birthday present, but even so, what a waste.

I've been riding as usual with my unique style and speed, just so you know but still I have just spent the day ragging the Stab so I've probably broke it.

so you crash and injure yourself then tell everyone about it looking for sympathy?
you absolute emo!

No, if i was looking for sympathy i'd say "Hi everybody, i've got aids!"
Instead i was kinda hoping for similar stories for me to laugh at.

Here's a story to laugh at then.
One day a long time ago when one had his Stinky that just that day he had built a new rim for went out for ride and decided to learn how to do whips and 180's (On a Stinky). So of I go whipping has far out as possible and dragging it about half way back, everyone telling me to stop because I will break something. I thought no, it will be fine I know best.
So later that night I find 6 cracks. Whoopee I think.
Another rather intreseting aspect is the fact that I have had more sets of wheels than I have had tyre's.
So later that night

I rode 11.75 miles on the Coiler with both brakes on in 27 degrees of Uber-hot sunshine.
The only bonus was I lost 2 lbs during the ride. [:D]
