Fuck, where to begin? At times I have the dexterity that would make a cat jealous but other times, when my spastic gene kicks in, it's like I've just taken over someone else's body and have no fucking clue how to drive this thing.
1, Got a new mountain bike after working at a bike shop and saving for ages and I tricked it out hard.
Me and a mate go to a local spot in london that's great for mountain biking start doing some trails. We get to one part which has this fairly sheer, near vertical drop that slowly rolls towards the bottom. I'm so fucking scared of scratching my brand new shiny new GT Zaskar that I go really slowly over the lip of the drop (mistake one) and put too much weight forward. I start to do an endo (i.e. go over the front bars) but I'm still in protection mode with the bike I try to hug the frame to protect it (mistake two).
It cartwheels on me, saddle landing perfectly on my nuts as I hit the ground, but I'm still cartwheeling with the fucking bike, it flips me up, handlebars hit me square in the lips and the ejects right in to a tree and snaps my brand new suspension forks in to like dry noodles.
My mate is dieing with laughter at the bottom of the run. I'm only glad this took palce before everyone had cameras on their phones.
2, I'm walking down some wooden steps by a lake, carrying a big bowl of fruit. I get all the way down then slip on the last step. Bang smack my Coccyx so hard I'm winded. I'm flat on my back and fruit peices start landing of my face so I sit up like "wtf is with all the flying fruit", only to have positioned myself perfectly in the ascending flight patch of the large china fruitbowl. Fucking ouch.
3, I'm in my bedroom, fixing an table lamp and keep having to plug it and unplug it to test the switch. I get up to get a different screwdriver and trip over the cord - I can see myself faceplanting in slow motion, so I put out my hand before I hit the ground....
.....and touch the exposed live wire.
Boom, wake up on the other side of the room about 2 minutes later covered in books. I'd managed to fry myself which flung me across the room and destroyed my bookshelf. My mum comes in and is like "what the fuck are you doing?" and I realize how dumb it sounds with all the borken shit around me to tell her "I'm fixing a lamp".
FML.
