The story of broken arm, part one
I woke up on Saturday, 18 April, really looking forward to the day. Orwell’s was having an open day and after that I was looking forward to going solo ride before meeting up with my family. My son was going to his friends party and I was looking forward to hearing all about it.
The sun was shining and I was meeting my family at Orwell’s. I got there early, met some friends, looked at the bikes and had a good time. My son and husband turned up a little later. They had some lunch and then left. So Kenneth could tend his friend’s birthday party.
Originally, I hadn’t planned on going to the roller disco my son’s friend was having at a local sports centre. It was such a nice day; I really missed my family. So I decided to meet them at the sports centre. I got their way too early. So i having quite a great for I could see the cake arrived: the cake looked amazing. It was such a lovely day, I just enjoyed the sun.
I chose quite quickly to help out, but wasn’t really sure what I could do. As the children got their skates on, it was obviou that some of the children could skate and then some didn’t really know how to skate, some had some experience a while ago and they were not used to the skates.
So I decide to help a couple of the children. They have been left on their own, mostly because they could basically skate, they just lacked confidence. I realised I was saying is really easy: you just lean forward, bend the knees, don’t fall over. It had been years since I had skated and I really fancied having a go at it. I looked at my husband, said what I was thinking. “Ask then,” said Jon.
We were having a good time
I asked the lady if I could have a pair of 5 1/2 they only had sixes so I tried them. They weren’t great, a little big on the left foot, but they did. I’d never used skates were with breaks before; it’s a strange. In the end, I never used the brake, as I wasn’t sure how to. Stopping was a little awkward, I was managing: sitting down on the chase was worth. I found it quite tiring John Waite got me a Coca-Cola which is really nice. Jon also put on some skates. He was dancing to the music, he looked awesome. After while when all the kids are skating well, actually I should mention the birthday girl skating shoes really good, a limbo was set up so the children could skate under the bar.
Personally I thought this was beyond my the capability. Then again Jon was awesome and managing it with ease. Well, he made it look easy to me. I still wasn’t keen. It looked tricky to me. And I was enjoying going round in circles. My little boy was getting quite tired and I kept him company but felt I was cramping his style, and he should be enjoying his friends.
The limbo has been getting lower and lower which made it less accessible to me. They suddenly put it up far fewer children seemed be using it, so I fancied my chances. A full good run up, and I could clear it.
So that’s why did. In fact, my head hit the bar while I was shifting trying to clear it. Because I was going so fast I got pushed backwards and as I was falling I thought I got three choices here:
- hit my head
- land my bum
- put out my hand
