One pretty spring day after school I was headin to join my buddies for a game of ball. I didn't wana be late... on my 10spd...really throwin it side to side as I was pickin up speed down a newly paved street. Forgot that the pavers hadn't done a thorough job leveling the man hole covers.

Front tire caught the 2" edge of that pavement while I was throwing that bike from left to right...caught that edge...to trace the cover...turned it even sharper.

It happened so fast....I don't remember....just going by what a neighbor lady told me...Figure I was only goin10-15mph...but the torque I was putting down...anyway..

One sec I was on the bike and then she said "it was like the bike's front tire froze and the whole thing flipped forward and you hit your face on the pavement.

heh....road rash ain't a joke.

Still got the scar on my face from that one.
