Pedals and upgraded Brakes on order...

Talk to Mike about brakes. He only uses the front ones though.  :funny:
I would have been better off if I had a bike with no pedals.

What about the training wheels?

What I really needed was wheelie bars.

And here I thought you went over the bars and onto your head … That's a whole different kind of stupid. BTW, How's your neck?

Can I change my story?  I'd like one that makes me look less stupid.  So I was flying up this hill like an unstoppable mad man when out of nowhere came this deer and just took me out... I mean, my middle name is David. 

But no, it wasn't a big hill either.  It was pretty sad.  My neck isn't 100% yet but I have full mobility.  It's not going up in to my head or down between my shoulder blades anymore.  So that's progress.

Ha! If my buddies 5 y/o can ride a couple of the trails, I think you could too. Ya just have to remember which brake is for the front.

Ouch.  To think a 5 year old might possibly be better than me. 

And damnit, Tom.  You have people thinking I don't know which brake is which.  That I know, even though it's opposite the four wheeler.

Four wheelers got brakes?  :drive:

To be honest, I think you would be surprised at what some kids hit in the Whistler bike park.

Man, I remember being young, talking anywhere between 6 and 12 probably, and not being afraid of anything.  "What?  Yeah I'll hit that jump.  Let me get more speed first though." Now?  I might walk up it but I'll be thinking the whole time, I hope I don't roll and ankle.  Somewhere in that age range, I actually broke my bike in half.  Snapped both tubes right off at the neck.

Been there, done that. That's partially why I learned how to repair bikes - which eventually became my first paying job. And before you say it, yes, they had bicycles way back then!

I know that I'm not as brave as I was in my younger days. I was probably the worst in my early teenage years, did some stupid stuff but not broken bones.

Tom isn't that Old, he was at least ripping around on a big wheel...
