Almost Aced It

The day was another hot one but it was fun. Rode all morning, more exercises and the big test. My only falter was the figure-8 = minus 3 points. The rest was great (I think). Hey at least I didn’t get a -20 (-21 is a fail) like one of the riders.

From there it was on to more class work then a crossword puzzle (yes, crossword puzzle) which actually helped. Next came the written test. 100%…nice.

Only a complete moron could fail this class though, there was one other way you could fail… drop the bike. During our test one guy went through the obstacles just fine and when he took off for the next staging area, crashed into three other bikes and sending all four to the ground. Instant fail. Ouch. At least no one was hurt though one guy had a hole put in his helmet from the handlebars.

Overall really stoked to get the endorsement and glad it’s over. All graduation gifts can be sent to me in large bill denominations, ha ha.

  1. glad to see you up on two wheels. take care, love Dad.

  2. Thanks Pop! Guess it runs in the family :)

  3. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that day mate. I haven’t had a guy take out more than one other biker before, so a new record for me (not one I was shooting for).

  4. Yeah Alex, I’ll bet. I’ve never seen anything like it.
