One Embarrassing Story? One night, in high school, me and a friend were in my first Toyota pickup truck and we were talking to some girls on the side of the road that we knew. We were done talking and wanted to go back down the road the opposite direction, so I thought it would be cool spin out, and slide the back end around doing a 180. I spun the tires, got the back end flipped around, only to find the front end of the truck barely missing a telephone pole, but then hit the guide wire that anchored the pole. We stopped dead in our tracks and it left a dent on the front corner of my truck. The girls weren't too impressed either.

One Embarrassing Story? Once in High School, I started a rivalry football game at outside linebacker. Because I was starting, I invited all my friends and family. My job was to watch for people running the ball or drop back and cover for a pass. On the 3rd play, after a successful tackle no less, the quarter back dropped back to pass so, I did, too. Then he decided to keep the ball and run with it. I met the all-american quarterback in the middle of field and instead of making the tackle, he faked right and I fell flat on my face. I was immediately benched and only got in to long snap on punts for the rest of the game. It was then I decided I loved riding bikes!

One Embarrassing Story: My first ever mountain bike race started out great for the first 1.5 miles. I passed a guy at a techy switchback, and 30 yards further up the trail I fell 6 feet down off a moldy, wet bridge into a creek. I bashed my knee and back on rocks. I almost quit the race at that point, but I'm too hardheaded to quit. I got up out of the creek and got back on the bike to continue the race. A mile or so later, I was riding the most technical section of the race when I noticed I was seeing much more clearly than I had before I fell into the creek (it was a damp, humid spring morning after all). I felt my face and realized that during the process of collecting my stuff from the creek when I fell, I took my glasses off, because they kept fogging up because I wasn't moving. I made the decision to go back to the creek to grab my glasses. After I retrieved the glasses, I pushed on to finish the race. I ended up finishing the race in 10th place. I couldn't walk without a limp for a few weeks but didn't break anything besides my soul.
