the summer of activities

so this summer is definatly the summer of activities, way too much fun. mtb mondays, followed by monday night bowling, backgammon boozedays, horshoe hursdays, and golfin fridays. weekends are left open to either work at the shop or sock-ca sa-eh-days.
mtb mondays consists on ballantyne, shoey, tugboat and myself, maybe more people someday. ive missed the last two times, but the first monday was sick, i was riding my little brothers bike from when he was in around grade 4 and its from canadian tire, i thought i might die but i didnt. There was however this one time that i did die ---flashback wavey thing--- so me and ben, in our prime years of our life, me 19, him 20, pretty much invincable at that time of our lives decided to ride a mountain bike hill. neither of us owned a mountain bike, we both had really old bmx bikes, with no brakes, i hadnt ridden a bike for about 4 years at that point. so we get to the hill and the entire thing is uphill, steep as fuck up hill, as in we shoulda had mountain bikes. now the whole way up me and ben are talking, "man this is gonna be soooo sweet, these hills are so steep as fuck up hill, imagine how fast were gonna be going on the way down", neither of us even thinking about the fact we didnt have breaks. so we get to the top, oh yeah, the entire path was sandy too, like dry and sandy hard sandy type of sandy. so we get to the top, catch our breath and than i lead the way. we were flying, oh yeah we had no saftey anything on either, not even helmets, so yeah we were flying, going so fast, slowing for corner turns dragging our feet, it was going pretty good for about the first minute or so, until right after going over the peak of a hill there was a complete 90 degree turn, if not more, well i tried to put on the breaks, but my feet did pretty much nothing in the way of slowing me down. i dont know if you know those massive sewar pipes, like the ones you can walk in standing straight up, so that is what i went flying off of. now what this sewar faced was a series of step like rock piles for water to gradually get into the creek down below. so i flew off this sewar, cleared the first drop landing on the second drop, so my initial drop was roughly 8-9 feet down. i landed on my bike straight due to the fact as soon as i rode off the sewar pipe i froze, so i landed straight on my bike, and the bike just stopped on the rocks, but due to the fall i bounced up. i flipped over the handle bars, but forgot to let go of the bike, fell down the next drop which was about 3 or so foot drop, landing flat on my back on a pile of rocks, with the bike following me and landing directly ontop of me due to not letting go. so im lying there in so much pain and all i hear "eric, are you alive" and all i could do was laugh, i just laughed while explaining the pain i was in to ben, and while i dragged my bike out of the creek. ben just jumped off his bike. i wish i had done that too. so that was one of the times i used up one of my 9 lives-----flashback wavey thing-----. so yeah mtb mondays, i'm definatly gonna go this up coming monday. monday night bowling is going very good, alot of people, there is even talk of setting up tournaments come the fall due to the amount of people. backgammon boozedays, taught tugboat how to play backgammon, and he loved it which is wicked because up until that night it was only me and dorff. oh man, so when i was teaching tugboat, he went up to the bar to get another drink, and this girl offered to buy him a drink. so he gets the drink, and after he gets it, this guy bumps into him and spilled some of wills drink and (tugboat and will are the same person) so the guy says, sorry i'll buy you another, so will gets another, he comes and gets me, yo these girls bought me a drink, come have one, so we go over there, stand there for about 10 seconds and were both like, lets get back to backgammon, so we do. just before we leave we get a bill for those 2 drinks, so shitty that cider drinks had to be paid for. anywho, backgammon boozedays is on its way to becoming a day, allong with horshoe hursdays, we still have to build the horshoe pit at mikejoes. now golfin fridays has had 2 runs, golf is golf but the highlights mikejoe got a chip in birdie, and leblanc holds the lowest score of 47 on a par 34. gord and robby had wicked games for not having played in so long as well. and there you have it, im sure more will be added but this is it for now,
laaaaaaterrrrrrrrrrrrrr
