This is mainly a picture of my (relatively) new bike. Her name full name is Betsy the Bad Ass Bone Crushin' BMX Bike. Hopefully she doesn't end up REALLY crushin' my bones. I bought her one, because I needed some wheels to get around, and two, so I could teach myself tricks. So far, after about a month, I can do a 'wheelie' for about a second. It's different from doing them when you are a kid, because once the front tire is in the air, you have to pedal it out and and keep the front tire in the air without losing your balance. Either I'm completely lost, or it's harder than it sounds. Either way it's fun to try. The other trick I'm trying to learn is a "Curb Endo" where you run the front tire against the curb, stop and then your back tire should go up in the air, and you should be able to balance like that. It's much harder. I also need some better front brakes. And some freestyle pegs. But for now I'll settle for a two second wheelie.
The other part of this picture is my dog, Shelby. She as usual, thought that I should be taking a picture of her, as all things in life should revolve around her. But more on that later.
