  1. So this morning I wake up ready to ride. I walk in to the kitchen where
    my parents are cooking breakfast. I sat down with them and had coffee
    with eggs, biscuits, and bacon. I go get ready and start to ride.
    Everything goes good for a while. Doing crankflips, and 180flips.

    Then from there on out everything goes COMPLETELY WRONG.

    1. I decide to go spot at a chuch that has a couple of sets. A curb, a
    2 set, 2 4 sets, and a 3 set. I start flipping the 3 set. Then i try to
    180flip it. I almost get it and then I tried, the uni shot out from
    under me, hit my camcorder(about 15 feet away) it falls over onto the
    asphalt.
    I walk over to check it out. My viewfinder shell is laying there and
    all the wires are hanging out with the glass piece attached on the
    viewfinder. It still works though. Nothing that superglue couldn't fix.
    I go back home to get a drink.

    2. A little later I go back to riding. I found out I have gotten goat
    heads in my tire. I pick them out with a stick. Somehow one got on the
    back of my pants and stabbed me. I reach down to see what it was and it
    sticks in my finger. It starts bleeding. FANTASTIC.

    3. I keep riding and go back to the set i was trying to 180 flip. After
    a little while (of course its when im getting really close) I hurt my
    ankle. At that moment a lady comes from across the street(pretty much
    out of no where). She tells me to stop riding on the steps. I think she
    was the pastor's wife. I tell her okay and ride off.

    4. I look down as I was riding back and found out that i had lost one
    of the pieces to the viewfinder. Its the part that makes the image of
    the viewfinder larger and clear.(Kinda like a magnify glass I guess).
    So I come home.

    Im sitting here with a hurt ankle, broken camera, and no place to ride.
    Just the end to another perfect day.

    KH.

  4. ^yes, what is a goats head? Like a hitchhiker? (one of the sharp,
    pointy-on-all-sides things that goes into your socks and shoelaces?)

    And I believe that what you're now missing from your camera is a small
    'fresnel lens' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens). The larger
    ones can be quite pricey
    (and can melt asphalt!), but I don't know how much a replacement one
    for a camcorder would be.

    That does suck that you can't ride at the church anymore (when she's
    around), but now you can go and make some 1337 7R14LS obstacles....but
    maybe you're a street rider...hmmm...keep going until they put up a
    sign that says "NO UNICYCLING". That's what I did/am still doing at my
    school. They have some nice tables and stairs, but no sign to prohibit
    unicycling (although bikes, skateboards, scooters, rollerblades, and
    "unauthorized vehicles" are strictly prohibited!)

    One of the campus security "officers" (rent-a-cops on golf carts) knows
    me as the dissident unicyclist. But I told them that I would stop
    riding there if they put up a sign. How hard is that to do? They must
    not care all -that- much...

    Find -or make- someplace else to ride. See if your camera is still
    under warranty; if so, make up some excuse that they will replace it
    for.

  5. This is a goathead. http://www.goatheads.com/goathead.jpg

    Yeah im a street rider so I guess i will just have to find another
    place to ride. She told me that i was "playing" on the ramps. The funny
    thing is that on the other side they had a NO SKATEBOARDING BIKING OR
    BLADING sign and on this side at the front they had a NO SKATEBOARDING
    OR BLADING sign. But I was farther back.(Big church). She didn't say
    nothing bout the signs and neither did I.

    KH.

    P.S. Who knows bout the camera, I might just leave it like that for
    awhile if its too expensive.

  6. So presumably they don't mind you biking round that side of the Church?
    I mean they've got to be useful for something.

  7. Well I still don't know what to do about my camera. I guess i will just
    use the screen but its sooo hard to see during the day time. I found
    out I can hold my eye away from the viewfinder and look into it and see
    the image but its really small. Theres no chance of going back and
    finding it though because even if it was laying in the church parking
    lot, it would probably have gotten ran over all ready with church being
    this morning.

    Maybe today will be alot better.

    KH.
