** BMX Excitement ** ** BY: Adam Snyder ** It was me and two of my other friends, Grant and Noah. We were BMXing all over town. We decided to go by Hartford Finishing and BMX in the area where all the boxes and crates are put. We made a little jump and took turns jumping it. Then I saw a big ledge!! We got off our bikes and went to go check it out. But Noah wasn’t a very good BMXer so he kept jumping the little one. The ledge was probably 4 feet high. So Grant went 1st. He is in 7th grade he is a better BMXer than me. He landed it so I tried I picked up my bike and was on the ledge I got on it and started to pedal. Once I was at the edge I did a bunny hope and hoped for the best. I stuck the landing!! Me and Grant kept doing that over and over again then Noah wanted to try. He was on the ledge and rode off [when you ride off a ledge you will fall because the nose of the bike will sink]. He fell and hit his head!! And his eye was swollen he held it like his eye was going to fall off! I called my Dad he said he would be there in a minute. Noah was still crying and one of the workers shouted “You can’t bike here!!” My Dad was pulling into the driveway and I loaded me and Noah’s bikes. Grant loaded his bike in himself we got in the truck and went to my Dad’s house. When we got there my Dad got Noah ice for his eye and a brace for his foot. Noah found out he rolled his ankle!! Noah went home and I went to Grant’s house. A few days later I saw Noah he had a cast and he fractured a bone. He said “I am never going to waste my time BMXin again!!!” and it’s been a while since I have talked to Noah and since I’ve seen his bike. Grant and I still BMX but Noah skateboards. Me and Grant always BMX together. I have an Eastern Shock now, it weighs 21 pounds!! That is really light for a bike, and it has a small sprocket. We drop-in off 6 footer ramps all the time. One day me and grant saw Noah at the skate park! We asked if he wanted to try to drop- in on my bike. He mumbled “I guess ill try but once!” So he went up the ramp as slow as a sloth. Noah was on top of the ramp and he peddled down he landed it but he wanted to jump the fun box. He bunny hopped of the kicker and jumped it. He asked me if he could ride for a while. I said yes. After about ten minutes he was done. He said “I am getting into BMX again That’s cool are you goanna get your bike out of your shed?” I asked “Yeah probably, ill have to ask my dad.” I said “That’s cool dude I need to go peace!” “See-ya!!” shouted Noah “bye.” Said Grant Me and Grant went to Expo I looked at a small sprocket since the one I just got bent. Grant said “I am going to go to Noah’s so we can get his bike. We went to Noah’s and asked his dad if we could get his bike. He said “Sure as long as you’re careful.” Me and Grant went to Noah’s shed and took out his bike. Then all of a sudden Noah came in! “I want to go to the skate park!” <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">So we all were on our way to the skate park.
