well, as most of you know, i ride bmx. alot. and for those of you who didnt know, i ride bmx. i was thinking about it today and i realized how important it is to me. i know what yall be thinking..."its just a damn bike". i agree with you, to a certain extent. my bike is my best inanimate freind, ever. my bike is even better than my freinds sometimes, my bike doesnt yell at me, it cant ground me or take away my license, my bike doenst think i look like a housewife...cough cough, etc. if it wasnt for that damn pretty peice of chromoly, i wouldnt even have met alot of my good freinds. whenever i tell someone about it, they usually reply with something like "oh are you gonna be pro someday and ride in the x games?". i dunno. i guess i wouldnt mind that alot but i really dont care about all that. i just wanna ride my bicycle. alot of people dont know that being pro isnt just making money and winning contests. in fact, you dont even make money off of it (unless you own your own company or if your just really lucky). ok ok i know i probably sound a little obsessed. but technically, i guess i am. nothing beats a good session with like 5 other guys. nothing beats any thursday at the skatepark. nothing beats riding. even riding uphill. well...thats not the greatest but whenever im on my bike i dont have a care in the world. oh yeah - if you happen to be a police officer and your reading this - wouldnt you rather bust some damn bros with drugs than kick some bikes out of a public skatepark? let the bikes in.
