of how bad my neck hurts or how hard it is to hold it up, then you
would have an idea of how hard I came down on my head. Which
was also the first part of my body to hit and took most of the impact.
If I wasn't wearing my helmet i'm pretty sure death definitely
would have been possible. Im lucky to walk away with a pretty
badly bruised hand, broken ribs, and various cuts, rash, bruises and
swelling on my right arm and legs.
I wasn't even "mashing" or riding like a dick through traffic. I was on
a team ride and we were descending going pretty fast. I took a turn
wide and hit loose gravel. My friends dad who was riding behind me
said I hit the ground, bounced and then slid for a while on the
pavement.
Obviously the moral of this story is ALWAYS WEAR A FUCKING
HELMET WHEN YOU ARE RIDING YOUR BIKE. Just wear it, who the fuck cares
if it's not cool or whatever. Function and safety over fashion. You
can get them relatively cheap. The skate style helmets work too and
are inexpensive. You may even be able to find a organization that will
give you one for FREE or low-cost. (check out H.E.L.L.:

So onto other news I won't be tattooing for a week or two as you can guess,
so if you have any questions about appointments or whatever drop me a
email. In the meantime i'll be trying to recover with eating chips and
watching quality netflix movies like Tin Man.
Be safe everyone!
