Basically ive been really stupid and gone to Delamere and had a
few crashes, well not very interesting i here you say, well my first answer is yes it is not very interesting and second you might learn a thing or to about being aware.Well it all started about 2 weeks ago at Delamere, i was paying a visit at my dads house wen i decided to go for a ride as early as i could on saturday moring for me 11am is early, i got up at 10:30am and rushed out the house to the forest, when i got there i found it really hard to warm up because i was sooo tired, i was casually cylcing to another section not rushing or anything i wasnt really paying atension to wat i was doing because it was a few simple root i was going over,but... unfortunately i some how managed to be so drowsy that i clumbsly got my front wheel caught in a root and i went over the handle bars later that day i decided to learn how to do this double which i normally pump but i decided to learn how to jump it, and fantastic i got the hang of it and i thought i had the whole thing under control but again wasnt paying attension and whilst i was putting in some style i landed funny and whiped out lol. And now ive got bruses everywhere.
And for my third and final trick it is my third crash, well actually my first i did this one a week before the others. I was doing this 10ft thing and lowered my left arm and went of into a tree and thorn bush and fell onto my front sprocket and cut the back of my leg open, some how i just got onto my bike and just cycled home. The message of the story is, no matter how early it is or if you think you have a certain thing nacked, DONT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
