I went down in 2006. From that point on, I made sure that I wore protective gear.
I see people rollin' with Chuck Taylors... women in skirts high heels. I'm like, if you go down, you're going to have some serious regrets (that's if you live).
^^^^^ THIS... is what I was expecting, or something similar sidebar: I'm getting my cape cleaned right now..... I will save her and massage my "Holy Healing Ointment" into dat ass
Back in the early-90s we were over at a family friend's place for a BBQ. It was mostly adults & just a few of us kids and pre-teens. My friend had a dirtbike and he decided to take it out to the front street to show off mid-evening. Racing up and down the block as there weren't many cars to worry about. At some point my younger brother wasn't paying attention and stepped back as our friend had circled and come back in our direction. He slammed the brakes & lost control and went over the handlebars. Bad road rash on his forearm that he ended up breaking. Tough guy though ... immediately got up in pain and wanted to fight my brother. Ready to throw down within seconds, lol. My brother was about 4 years younger and took off in a panic. Apologized afterward. We notified the parents and they rushed him to the ER to deal with the broken arm. Arm all towelled up to stop the bleeding ... really lucky his injuries weren't worse.
