Be careful on the quad bikes! - by Jess

7 09 2007

Faster and faster my wheels turned, round the corner leaping bump to bump on the uneven ground.

My speed picking up incredibly quick as I followed the herd, I slip and slide around the bend and gripped my tyres. Past the swaying trees in the woodland to the left of me, at amazingly high speed. As I followed on I had a funny and stomach quenching idea, that my rider hadn’t seen the huge stone just lying in the middle of the track in the exact same direction we were heading. Gripping my wheels and brakes trying as hard as i could to slow down and stop, I jerked forward my wheel in great pain. I lay there on my side facing the fallen rider, lay still on the ground in front of me.

I looked up and saw a grazed knee, a member of staff knelt at my side, and a dozen eyes just gazing at me. In pure embarrassment I stood up in shock, also wondering what had just happened. The member of staff picked up my quad, i got back on and we continued our dangerous journey onward.

To tell the accident from the bike’s point of view was a very clever way of beginning a story Jess. Hope you didn’t hurt yourself too much!

Well done Jess, it was a wicked idea being the quad instead of yourself!!!
Your not only a good friend, your a good writer.
