Dreams of Flight

Coming around the corner at top speed, I launched off the lip with a great boof angle and right as i hit the landing, the music of my alarm started up.



I sat up in bed and glanced at the cast on my right hand. 'yep, still there.' As I got up and started stumbling towards the shower, I thought about how I got to this place of patience testing, all the way back from my shoulder injury last year to the here and now. beyond that, the list flipped through my mind...

New lines can lead to hair raising exits...

Hello all! I've got a heck of a story for yall!

I have a weird concept that bragging about my travels and adventures will initiate some karmic reprucussions in some way, shape or form, so i will try my best to share my experiences with you all in a way that makes you want to seek out your own adventures and experiences of your own.
