Stupid things I've done, stupid things I've said...
When I was a wee lad, I lived in a house in Devon with a MASSIVE garden, big enough for me and my brother to ride our bikes around without needing to go outside...

One day I decided to see how fast I could ride out of the garage, down the ramp that led into it, and round the garden. Flying out of the garage at approxzimately a hundred miles an hour, I failed firstly to take into account the slippery nature of fine gravel, and secondly to make the turn.

I'm not sure how but this somehow meant that I ended up lying on top of my prone bike, skidding to a halt like some sort of gravel body-boarding, with bits falling off my bike as we went.

A chap walking past noticed this and peered concernedly over the fence.

"You alright?" he asked. Actually I was, but more than that I was embarrassed. So what I replied with was?

"Yeah. Just practising stunts."

I still cringe when I think about it now.

Cringe!
That is exactly what I would've said, in an effort to appear nonchalant and cool.

Sadly, I seem to repel cool, and end up looking like a cock.

Great story anyway!
