Default so finaly my crash story...

so on august 1.08 i was going home after work and i was somewhat tired and i had to be back at work in a few hours. i was so close to home but i decided to take a like road with twistis on the way. it was at 5 pm and no traffic at all. i wasn't really that hard and like half way through it bam it happens. my first real crash. i was going like 60 in a lil starch on rode b4 a turn. beaked hard and mid braking i rear tires locked up. i tried really hard to let go of the break but my leg wouldn't let go. tire started wheel hopping and after that it was over not enuff room to slow down. i guess it was a little gravely. went right throgh the turn and into a lil wall ledge thing in someone lawn thing. bike hit it sent me flying to the right into a sign and i plowed it down with my helmit. then into a pile of grass/ bushes . bike did a front flip and landed a few feet away. mannnn i was in so much pain. my whole body hurt sooo bad i was rolling around moaning and could not breath for like 20 sec. after a min all the pain went away. my leg hurt a lil. i sat there saying OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG over and over. and over. 10 sec after i crashed i heard ambulance is on its way and 10 ppl popped outta no where helping me. 10 -20 min later they show up. cops to. i declined the abulace and i got a ticket and they towed my bike. mom bro and sister came picked me up. i only hurt my leg and a spot on my back. my leg had a big gash and the whole thing was swollen as hell. maby fractured it idk never got it looked at. i am 100% now. some pics.
