I've done some stupid stuff. over the years. Making a ramp out of a air hockey table, power sliding on a bike down a rock hill.to have to bike slip out from under me while wearing shorts. So much stuff to do. so little time

Oh...That had to hurt.


I have done MANY a stupid thing before. I think one of the dumbest was jumping my bike off of ramps. Each ramp was higher than the next, and on a gravel driveway no less.

One day, I was jumping my bike in a t-shirt and shorts, and I jumped of the ramp with my front wheel way to high. The back wheel bounced, throwing me off, and onto the ground. I slid two feet in the gravel before the bike came crashing down right on top of me.

I sat there for a few moments, looking at a small blood pool in the gravel, and just thought to myself, "okay, now what went wrong?". Never mind that I am bleeding to death, but I am wondering what I did lol!

Then I thought to myself..."how am I going to explain all this blood all over me to my mom?".

Both handbrakes were broken, the seat was torn, the one pedal fell off and it all happened when it fell on me. I bled a lot, with cuts in the arms, hands, knee's and abdomen, plus bruises, scrapes and a big knot on my head. I have no clue how I got THAT messed up, when I only fell five feet from mid air...


btw, all the girls at Lowes were asking me what happened. I sat and stared at them, then thought I'd be an a$$ by saying. "War. Is a terrible thing..." LOL

Add some bigger wheel flares , and some running boards , you might not get so many stone chips if you keep it under 20 klics per hour...

I metal detect, but I have only been at it for six full days. I have done good, but not that good.

Some were found by my dad, and some I have bought. In my catalog, I have which bullet was recovered where and by who.

 

[RustyRelics]

This is literally the only reason most people know I exist, lol. I found this on my second day of metal detecting ever. It was my first military button of any kind.

The night before, I prayed for an eagle button, or a Confederate button. Looks like I got a combo of the two...

Estimated value: $1,500
