Wow! :eek:
Alright, so I'm at my Granny and Papal's house some over the summer. My Dad lives next door. They live out from town a little ways, and there is this long gravel road that goes past their house that people frequently ride four-wheelers on and makes paths through the woods. There is also a rock query that is fun to ride in. I was taking Sasse (imagine a toy poodle on a four-wheeler :P) with me and we turned into a trial that went through some wood and brush a short ways down the the rock query. I decided it was too steep down and turned around. One thing lead to another, and I was rolling downhill - fast! The brake wouldn't stop and giving gas hardly helped at all.
So I put my feet on the ground to try and stop it. Sasse jumped off and looked at me like "Bubby! Where are you going?" My legs were against the wheels that were moving at a pretty good speed. Thank the Lord, I somehow managed to steer a sharp curve backwards into a lot of brush; not too much further and it's a near total drop down about 20-25 feet.
Sasse was fine, thank God. I came out with many nasty looking cuts and scrapes. The tire, when I was trying to stop with my legs, rubbed hard against my left leg particularly, and quite a bit of skin is gone. But I am so glad I, and especially Sasse, are OK. Thank God. :bow:
Quit the scary experience! :sorry:
God's clarity, peace, serenity,
In Christ,
Love and Safety,
Justin
