Curb hop on a BMX bike at age 38 and there will be blood...



Only one thought went through my mind as the aluminum pedal from the Kuwahara slammed into the front of my shin - Am I bleeding on my freakin' jeans?!?

No pain for now, but an interesting reminder of how quickly we bleed when we are older and put ourselves in the path of danger. Shamefully, this was only the result of a 3 inch curb hob on a Kuwahara I had bought my niece last Christmas. I guess I was just having too much fun while bike riding with my little nephew (who holds his own at 6 years old!)

Saturday I drive up to Austin to pick up a 2009 Haro Original Freestyler, which is much-controversied in the various BMX forums on the web. Meh. Whatever. I ride first and obsess later.
