Woke up this morning, already waiting for tonight to go out and get some riding in. it was way too hot to go during the day, so i just waited
and waited
. i even took a nap
, finally the time had come 8:30 sharp i pealed out to esso to get a monster. go to my spot, and people are already showing up and being dropped off for a feild party
. doesnt phase me
i just get to riding. my bikes being a bitch as usual, my crank arms loose again. almost every single spoke on my back wheel is loose
so i waste about 10 minutes tightening every little nipple
. anyways all these people start walking by me and this part i dont really like cause i want to be a nice guy but i have my music on
so never can tell if there talking to me or not
, so i never respond to them, if they are talking to me im just like a robot doing tricks
i really dont pay any attention to them. and im not out there trying to impress people im trying to learn new stuff and so im constantly bailing off my bike, and i start to get pretty frustrated with some of these tricks
and my bitch of a bike isnt helping much. so all these people walking by are just watching me jump off my bike over and over and over again
but i always land on my feet so its not too embarresing. Basically my spot is a road connecting to parkinglots at a school. and people always come to the parking lot to smoke, and like have car sex and shit, it gets pretty scetchy at night but its not like winnepeg or anything
. anyways this one guy drives up and parks his car along all the parking slots, hes a scruffy looking guy, kinda like a mexicasa style going and he gets out and just watches me for about 5 minutes i was staring him down lettin him know yeah i see you essay
so hes just standing there smoking a cigarette walking around, but he never took his eyes off me. kinda creepy
. he gets back in his car and drives off. so i just keep riding about an hour goes by and i see this flash of light in the corner of my eye. i look around and Holy Sheep Shit im surrounded by lightning, every where i look theres flashes. that pissed me off, i had been waiting all day to go out riding and i only get 1 good hour
DAMNIT i still had some monster even. i really wanted to stay out there but i wanted more, to not get struck by lightning
. so i chug my monster and book it home, realizing because my spokes were so loose now my wheel is all crooked, so my bike is slightly jerking to the left and right
, its one of the weirdest feelings. so i make it home and then the lightning really kicks in its booming right on top of the house, scary stuff, it lights up the whole back path witch is usually pitch black. and i return to the issue of my back wheel being crooked. i take a look at it and realize i have no idea what to do, and i dont want to wreck it more so for now its out of commission.
but the moral of this story is mother nature will rape you when you least expect it, like in a dark alley at night ... in winnepeg.
