Dervish

Well since I had expected to pay more for my camera and didn't have to, I had a few bucks left over.
Ever since I went longboarding, I've been dying for a board of my own.

So Sunday Chad, Colton, and I went to BC and I purchased my new love.

It's behind my camera on the love scale though.

I hardly made it out of the mall I wanted to ride it so badly. Once in the parking lot I peddled once and cruised the whole length of the lot and back.

It is a spectacular board

and it's

ALL 

mine. :)
We went up to sugarhouse park and took it for a test spin. I'm way too much of a pansy ass to bomb a whole hill but I did cruise down the little ones.

My board is amazing!
We decided that we should go cruise down memory grove. Up past Capital Hill. The road is pretty rough so usually you can't pick up a ton of speed. But apparently my board is just amazing and can coast over anything.
I ended up speeding right past Chad and Colton (who were suppose to be my just-in-case breaks I'm not too good at stopping yet). I had superbad speed wobble and was attempting to ride it out. I had nearly made it to a level spot when I hit a pothole or rock not really sure and totally biffed.
A few injuries. A knee and elbow scrape but no major problems.

Right after the fall.

Honestly, it creeped me out quite a bit because it wasn't really bleeding.

But I was more upset about ruining a pair of my favorite jeans.

The rest of the way down I stayed right next to Chad.

My wound started bleeding a little bit from the motion

see here...

We decided that I should probably give it a rest for the night.
Once we arrived at the apartment cleaning detail was highly needed.
Scrubbing away.

Battle wounds.

Chad and Bryan didn't have bandaids
so I ventured upstairs, to the tranny, to ask for some.
Bad idea.
She/He was super nice but I was completely grossed out by the apartment.
I lucked out!
He/She didn't have large enough bandaids to cover my scrape.
Not that I would have used it if She/He had any.

I have great friends who didn't force me to go with them to the store in silly soccer shorts that were 2 sizes too big with blood dripping down my hairy leg.
I got all bandaged up and everything was wonderful!
