Popular Post ..... Posted May 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Sometimes I just HAVE to share how much fun I have on my wheels. I know its a given, but when you REALLY enjoy something, you can't help but want to tell people. Even if they don't care at all. I haven't been on any long trips lately, but have been simply wearing out my mten during smoke breaks and enjoying the 18's for leisure ride. Hell, I even toss in five/ten miles of Sherman hustle. I don't know if its lack of attention span(squirrel), indecisiveness or simply too many great choices. I find myself changing it up ALL THE TIME. Today's memerable moment was on my mten. Wife has begun to walk for exercise, so I chase her around and taunt her on the mten. I typically try to ride in a squat for a bit to at least work my legs some in fairness. Today I saw a small ledge at the church lot. I dont know wtf i was thinking but I decided... lets just pop up this short ledge and ride back down...BACKWARDS. I was simply amazed that it freaking worked! I figured I would surely earn some rash, as I was tempting fate wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I have been playing around and practicing riding backwards and teetering on the mten. Still, I didnt expect to even get up the ledge, especially to roll back down it. I call it a glorious moment, as I didnt even realize it worked, until it was over. Now I wonder if its just a ploy. You know, to get me to gamble bigger so I lose more on next go round Anyhow. Not much point to this posting, aside from sharing the fact that sometimes if you just give something seemingly stupid a try, it may just work out. You also don't have to be very good, go very far or attempt anything suicidal to...Seize the day! Whos got another tale of Joy? I know, my story sucks. It just illustrates that you neednt succeed at any MAJOR feat to find satisfaction... Edited May 22, 2021 by ShanesPlanet 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Flying W Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 There's a park next to my house where I take the baby to swing. I push the stroller with the wheel but I don't wear anything safer than baseball cap pushing the stroller. I saw a kid pedal down a grass hill into an embankment and at the top was a small jump. The kid caught a little air, maybe half a good, but it looked way more fun to jump off the top. I parked the stroller so my son could watch his retarded father jump it backwards on the wheel with no gear. Gotta teach em young! Drove off the top too fast for a test hit, tensed up in the air and landed a looked crooked. Wheel tank slapped like a dirt bike, I came off and rolled and the wheel recovered, drove up the other side and gently parked itself on its side. Baby laughed his ass off so I know he shares my sense of humor. Ruined a perfectly good t-shirt and was told I am a moron by the kid on the bicycles mom. It was a great afternoon! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
