My Favorite Mistake


My passion was my greatest mistake. Bmxing has gotten me injured. I have crashed several thousand times. My worst crash was when I was doing a super man back flip I let go of my handle bars and my pedals in mid flip I fell from 35 feet in the air landed on my back. This accident worsened my back. I was born with a slight case of scoliosis and you are not to do sports when you have scoliosis. I have never broken a bone or had to get stitches and I have been bmxing since I was 8 years old. 

Bmxing can get you in trouble which is not fun because a lot of time you did not do anything. At the skate park whenever kids do something stupid and the cops show up if you are/were at the skate park you are either a witness or a suspect which sucks. You pick up charges and have them dropped just because you were at the skate park when others were doing things that could get people in trouble. I have had to call the cops when I have been at the skate park because I don't want to get my self into trouble. I don't enjoy calling the cops because I have been in trouble with the law for various other reasons so I don't like to interact with the cops.

Bmxing is very fun and addicting. Once you start and are in the zone you don't want to stop. Once you start having fun is also what can get you in to trouble because your family asks you to be home at a certain time then, you have to much fun and then you lose track of time then you get home late.

There are many things to learn from passions for me that passion just so happens to be bmxing. I have learned that I get injured I don't stop and I just keep going. Even though you want to give up on a passion just because you get injured does not mean you should give up. I have also learned that if you are some place where dumb asses are then you can still get into trouble because you were there when the ass holes were being stupid. I have also learned that when I have to talk to the cops I will even though I don't like talking to them. I have learned that to much fun is a bad thing. Fun can be bad because you don't focus on anything else.

You said you fell from 35 feet in the air right? If so, what happened to you? Did you end up in the hospital? I mean you said you've never broken a bone but how is that possible if you fell 35 feet to the ground? I do like that you love to bmx, it seems like a real fun sport. I hope you keep up with your passion, and maybe make it a dream!
