I ride (around school-college- and whatnot) a lime green Penny Brand Nickel board with yellow wheelz. I've been riding since about November and I love it to death! So a friend of mine-Candace- saw how much I love my board and because she's got money to blow went online and bought one too! Her's is the purple with an aztek underside- so one night of many, I'm teaching her how to ride under the cover of darkness and such, because learning can be embarrassing, and I start teaching her about the joys of speed bumps.
*disclaimer* speed bumps are not joyous and are more like a pain in the side
So I'm looking over my shoulder making sure that she takes the plunge and actually goes over it being the watchful encouraging teacher, and am going slow so I can kind of match her speed. My board goes backward and I fall to the ground, not only this but around the corner is a car coming.
....as if it can't just be me falling, but someone had to see and almost run me over in the process....
I get up and I brush myself off, loosing feeling in my butt cheek the entire time, and after stopping to ask if I was alright and speeding away the car is gone. Leaving within the street is me, candace, our boards, and my dignity on the side of the speed hump...This was the night we also started our gang, The Holy Rollerz.
Stories to tell, sleep to get, and dreamz to dream.
Until next time
