You may think you know where this article is going, that it is one more of my jerk you off article on stupid trick and how to that's supposed to be not to. Well this one is genuine how to, no funny stuff, just total fun.
Now I have to say I crash so much that it's not even fun for me to ride anymore. I am one of those totally uncoordinated people, it'd be very good for me if I could blink and eat at the same time! This really sucks because during every ride I would worry about crashing so much that, I'd push my bike through most of the way! Well that is until I've seen the light!
Now who say crashing can not be fun! You learn from crashing, from both watching and actually doing it your self, it helps you to find your limit, give you a few extra scares to show your friends and a good reason to buy that new Giro helmet you've always wanted. Oh yeah it's always painful, but what's fun biking with out a few scrapes and hits! I mean the rush you get from crashing is totally unreal! (this may only apply to the mentally out of tune generation’ herm’ herm’ X er… people) It's better than flying 60mph down hill! (well maybe..)…)
It has always been a man's quest to fight gravity, to find ways to break the laws of physics. Only too often we fuck up, and find out physics is a pretty hard law to break. That Newton's law will only take you so far, and if you try to take it any further, gravity will stop you like a brick wall (literally!). That's the price you pay for high-speed freedom and total mental happiness, and surprisingly tons of people are willing to pay that price. So then I am on the right track about crashing being fun phew!
While it is so, the price is high for the few seconds of rush. Just look at all the shit I have to do for my left-shoulder that's hanging from my body more than half the time. Physical phieraphy, MRI scans, X-rays, mounts of ice and painkiller, shoulder braces and a possible shoulder reconstruction surgery. Did I tell you that I don't race much.. (Can we say "the price is wrong bitch!")”)
I guess for some of the reader from the pre war era, must think I'm nuts and they are properly right. But you know what? I like it like that! I like to walk with my shoelace untied, I like playing with knives, I love jaywalking, I love riding my bike off vertical drops, and yes I love crashing! I guess scaring the hell out of myself beats being stressed out for the whole day. It's a great feeling to be so fucking scared that you forget about everything else! An odd but very effective way to stress relieves.
So we finish this article with the following conclusion:
Crashing is fun if:
-You want to be in an ESPN, X games, Mountain Dew commercial.
-You are so pissed with the world that only suicide will do, but then you don't want to die yet, so you crash the hell out of yourself, and call it even.
-You love physical pain.
-You believe that the UFO technology, discovered in Rosswell will keep you immortal.
-You have no physical feelings
-You think life is a John Woo movie, and there's always something that will catch you if you do crash, and you'll never run out of bullets till the you fight the main guy.
-You are the Hyper active Man.
-You are so stressed out that you need the relieve quickly
So there! Decide for yourself if you feel crashing is fun or not, then E mail me if you think I'm right or wrong, or that this piece of shit article doesn't make fucking sense!
