This.

I inadvertently slid through fresh pile of dog doo in the turn on the 5th level of a garage; didn’t see it coming; totally wiped out. At first, I was baffled on how I lost control, and then I smelt it.... Right in the middle of the turn was a big slash of sh!+. Also I found it strange because it was on my 5th or 6th run.

A tent. It was pretty great. Not for me so much, but for the kids in class who saw the whole thing out the window totally made their day. Came down the hill around the library and before I could decide which turn to take... bam! went straight into the tent.

I also later that same day came with in inches of running into my ex-girlfriends car... why she felt the need to park right in the middle of the runout behind the hill leading from the student center is beyond me. Though mostly the problem was that I got distracted by the fact that she was walking towards the car... hot girls and high rates of speed do not mix! Though that adrenaline rush was killer. All in all a pretty awesome day.

A pair of my friends who were bump drafting hit a chipmunk going ~40. They said the crunch was disgusting. They thought it was a leaf at first, 'til they went back up the hill.

[srq_jeeves]

Strangest thing was a family of raccoons. Luckily I didn't hit any of them.

I had a dream that I hit a deer. A big one. He clothes lined me with his body. All I really remember was 'hanging' over the abdomen watching my board roll itself down the rest of the hill.

Crashed into my own foot doing a peter pan crosstep, i completely missed the board coming out of my last step and ran over my own foot while stil riding my board.
